Chimpanzees in the wild of Uganda & Cote d’Ivoire have about 1.4 – 2.6 drinks-worth of alcohol per day in over-ripened fruit.

That’s about the same amount per day as modern humans.

#EHBEA2025 officially kicks off with our first plenary - Prof Russell Hill!

How strange are your animals?!? Bias is talked about in human research, but what about animals?? 🙈 🐦

👉 Opportunity, human exposure, habituation & observer effects create bias in animal research 👀

2/8 Researchers in Congo's Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve recorded 700 bonobo calls and noted 300 contextual details for each.

This meticulous fieldwork allowed scientists to create a "meaning map" of bonobo vocalization—essentially a dictionary of ape language.
