My #30DayChartChallenge Day 4 entry, "The Space Divide: Minimum Chimp Habitat in Zoos and the Wild," looks at the "big or small" theme by comparing minimum cage sizes for #chimpanzees to their expansive natural habitats 
I said I'd use Python but this is #Rstats and sadly I just couldn't get the facet chart I had in my mind to work within the time I have 
Interesting fact: Seed dispersers like #chimpanzees in the #Congo kicked off rainforest growth only 2000 years ago 
Now they face #extinction from #mining WE SAY NO to #mining in #DRC! #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife
Chimpanzees act as 'engineers', choosing materials to make tools

Africa: Chimpanzee Genes Have Changed Over Time to Suit Local Conditions - New Study: [The Conversation Africa] Chimpanzees are humans' closest living relatives, sharing over 98% of our DNA. They are endangered, with fewer than 250,000 left and an annual decline of between 1.5% and 6%. This is due to habitat destruction, hunting and infectious diseases, among other threats. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TJdZxl #Chimpanzees #EndangeredSpecies #WildlifeConservation #Genetics #HabitatDestruction
Africa: Inside the Sex Lives of Chimpanzees - It's About Much More Than Just Reproduction: [The Conversation Africa] Doug was the leader of his chimpanzee group. He had quickly gained a reputation from human observers as a fair and tolerant alpha male. One day he was separated from the group for some health checkups along with a young, confident male, Vis, and Vis's ally, Zsabu. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TJT4Kk #Chimpanzees #AnimalBehavior #WildlifeConservation #Africa #Nature
#chimpanzees and #bonobos BOTH use genital rubbing to overcome socials tensions. But is it more males in chimps, females in bonobos?

Early #humans make the violence of #chimpanzees look like amateur hour. We’ve always been awful.
In between coughs and sneezes (for lo, I am Ill) I have been drinking copious tea and listening to #podcasts. During the bit on #BBCInsideScience where they talked about a paper on contagious urination amongst #chimpanzees, I desperately needed a piss. I think that means I did a successful #replication, which is why I have written up this important scientific result for publication, here. #NobelPrize
Social #urination can be found represented in artwork across the centuries and around the world, and even today continues to be represented in cultural tropes.

Peeing is contagious in chimpanzees, study suggests
While watching a group of captive chimpanzees for her graduate research, Ena Onishi noticed something odd about the primates.
"They seemed to have a tendency to urinate around the same time," said Onishi, a wildlife researcher at Kyoto University. "It reminded me of some human behaviors of going to the bathroom together, and got me thinking 'could this be one of those contagious behaviors?' "
The family that pees together stays together?
