Such a treat to have the fabulous Liran Samuni visit and present her stellar research on chimpanzees and bonobos 🤩 Ape Behaviour & Ecology Group UZH Science


Happy #WolrdGorillaDay 🦍 #Conservation is key to ensuring gorillas thrive in their natural habitats. Let’s celebrate gorillas and continue working to protect them and their ecosystems 🌿 Consider donating to a gorilla organisation such as Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund Virunga National Park


Thanks Friends of Bonobos for the amazing work you do! It was an honour to capture this photo of Ikoto, a moment I will always remember. Seeing these resilient bonobos flourish is inspiring. I encourage everyone to support The Fellowship - every contribution helps their future!💚

Our research on object manipulation and tool use in sanctuary-living bonobos was featured in the 2023 report of Friends of Bonobos 💚 Grateful for the opportunity to be part of this important work with Ape Behaviour & Ecology Group Prof Kathelijne Koops Zanna Clay!


It’s the Great Ape Behaviour Course time of year! 🤩 Excited to see all the fantastic student projects come to life! ❤️ Topics range from 🦧 orangutan mother-offspring relationships to 🦍 gorilla rearing history📊🤓💪 Ape Behaviour & Ecology Group University of Zurich



Bonobos love grooming their friends– & lovers! 🐵 Did you know that grooming isn’t just about staying clean for bonobos? It’s a social superpower! 🌟 These incredible primates use grooming to strengthen bonds, reduce stress, & foster harmony in their matriarchal society. National Geographic

Happy #WorldBonoboDay! 🐵 Bonobos are our closest relatives (along with chimpanzees), yet there are only an estimated 10,000 to 50,000 left in the wild. Protecting them means safeguarding their forests! Conservation is key to their future🌿 📸 Taken by me at Friends of Bonobos


🚨Come work with us in charming Tübingen and become a member of our growing Freigeist group! We offer a 2-year postdoc position on the communicative plasticity in wild & captive bonobos, fully funded by VolkswagenStiftung. Applications open until March 15th. bit.ly/4gVa5Je

Today I’m heading back to Kokolopori Bonobo Research as part of my PhD to collect behavioural data on wild bonobos Ape Behaviour & Ecology Group 🙌🏼 I can’t wait to be back in the forest with these amazing creatures. See you in a few months! 🌿
