Bad Hair Day als Markenzeichen: Nachwuchs bei den Lisztaffen im Edinburgh Zoo
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
**VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE**
Two adorable baby monkeys - critically endangered cotton-top tamarins to be precise - have been born at Edinburgh Zoo.
The pair of cuties were born to mum Elf and dad Zecca on Tuesday 20 May.
Keepers from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), the wildlife conservation charity who run the zoo, have named the tiny newborn monkeys Sol and Salento.
Lorna Hughes, primate team leader at Edinburgh Zoo, said “It is incredibly exciting to welcome another pair of cotton-top tamarin twins, Sol and Salento. Unfortunately, the species is one of the most endangered primates in the world due to extensive habitat loss, so this year’s new additions are really special.
“Both Elf and Zecca will take turns caring for the youngsters, carrying them on their back for the first few months of their lives before they become more independent at around five months old.”
Weighing just 40g at birth and measuring 10cm from their heads to the tips of their tails, cotton-top tamarins are some of the smallest primates at the zoo. Their name comes from the tuft of white fur that runs from their forehead to their shoulders. Sadly, their distinctive appearance has led to a major population decline as they are targeted by the illegal wildlife trade.

Reinliche Kerlchen: Schimpansen im Budongo Forest Reserve in Uganda benutzen Blättern als Toilettenpapier
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
**VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE**
Scientists studying chimpanzees in Budongo Forest, Uganda, have observed them wiping their bum using leaves as a form of natural toilet paper.
The primates were observed indulging in the human-like behaviour by Dr. Elodie Freymann of the University of Oxford, first author of the article in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution and her team of researchers.
“We also documented hygiene behaviours, including the cleaning of genitals with leaves after mating and wiping the anus with leaves after defecation — practices that may help prevent infections,” she said.
That’s more than some humans manage!
The chimpanzees hygiene routine goes beyond keeping themselves clean after sex or going to the loo - as they also treat their own and others’ injuries.
Although chimpanzees elsewhere have been observed helping other community members with medical problems, the persistent presence of this behaviour in Budongo could suggest that medical care among chimpanzees is much more widespread than we realised, and not confined to care for close relatives.
Their routines could even shed light on how our ancestors first began treating wounds and using medicines.
“Our research helps illuminate the evolutionary roots of human medicine and healthcare systems,” said Dr Freymann. “By documenting how chimpanzees identify and utilize medicinal plants and provide care to others, we gain insight into the cognitive and social foundations of human healthcare behaviours.”
The scientists studied two communities of chimpanzees in the Budongo Forest — Sonso and Waibira. Like all chimpanzees, members of these communities are vulnerable to injuries, whether caused by fights, accidents, or snares set by humans. About 40% of all individuals in Sonso have been seen with snare injuries.
The researchers spent four months observing each community, as well as drawing on video evidence from the Great Ape D *** Loc

Primate conservationists at Chester Zoo are celebrating the birth of a critically endangered Coquerel’s sifaka – also known as a ‘dancing lemur’.
The tiny baby has arrived to parents Beatrice (12) and Elliot (12), bringing an end to a five-month pregnancy.
Born with thick fuzzy white fur and weighing approximately 100 grams, the precious youngster is only around the same size as a tennis ball!
Dr Nick Davis, Mammals General Manager at Chester Zoo, said: “Every Coquerel’s sifaka birth is a huge cause for celebration. There are very few remaining globally and every addition within the European conservation breeding programme is vital to the work we’re doing to safeguard the future of this species.
“The new baby has spent the first vital few weeks of life quietly bonding with mum, Beatrice, and we’re very happy to report that they’re both doing great so far. We’re seeing positive signs – they’ve been inseparable so far.”
First images released by zookeepers show mum Beatrice carefully cradling her new baby as it clings to her belly.
Dr Nick, added: “What’s really special though, is that the new arrival is joining a small family made up mum, dad and they’re previous baby, Sofia. They’re currently the only Coquerel’s sifaka currently being cared for in the UK and the knowledge, skills and expertise our primate conservationists are developing will help to play an important role in protecting these precious primates."
Unlike other species of lemur, sifakas stand perfectly upright and use their powerful legs to spring side to side along the forest floor, which has resulted in the animals being nicknamed the ‘dancing lemur’.
Chester is the only zoo in the UK, and one of just three in Europe, to care for Coquerel’s sifakas, having worked with the Duke Lemur Centre in America to establish a conservation breeding programme across the continent that? *** Local Caption *** 47057398

Primate conservationists at Chester Zoo are celebrating the birth of a critically endangered Coquerel’s sifaka – also known as a ‘dancing lemur’.
The tiny baby has arrived to parents Beatrice (12) and Elliot (12), bringing an end to a five-month pregnancy.
Born with thick fuzzy white fur and weighing approximately 100 grams, the precious youngster is only around the same size as a tennis ball!
Dr Nick Davis, Mammals General Manager at Chester Zoo, said: “Every Coquerel’s sifaka birth is a huge cause for celebration. There are very few remaining globally and every addition within the European conservation breeding programme is vital to the work we’re doing to safeguard the future of this species.
“The new baby has spent the first vital few weeks of life quietly bonding with mum, Beatrice, and we’re very happy to report that they’re both doing great so far. We’re seeing positive signs – they’ve been inseparable so far.”
First images released by zookeepers show mum Beatrice carefully cradling her new baby as it clings to her belly.
Dr Nick, added: “What’s really special though, is that the new arrival is joining a small family made up mum, dad and they’re previous baby, Sofia.
