Great summary of our recent paper 🙏🏼
For chimpanzees in the Bugoma forest (Uganda), nesting on the ground is relatively common (21%). Interestingly, this is dangerous for them, the authors speculate that it is a cultural behavior that resists change

Great summary of our recent paper 🙏🏼
Ground nests represent 5-10% of nesting habits in chimpanzees. At #Bugoma 🇺🇬 21% of the chimps' overnight nests are built on the ground, which is the highest level reported so far.
