An absolutely incredible experience🐬 A huge thank you to Emma Chereskin Stephanie L King @stephanielking.bsky.social Shark Bay Dolphin Research for an opportunity I’ll never forget🫶🏻 Grateful for the most wonderful teachers and friends Emma Chereskin Sam Hill-Cousins Brendan Lumley Danai Papageorgiou 🤍 #Gutharraguda

Some chimpanzees, like people, continue social play into adulthood; an activity that helps them better cooperate as a group. Learn more in Current Biology: cell.com/current-biolog…. Liran Samuni, Alex Mielke, Catherine Crockford, & Taï Chimpanzee Project

New paper alert 📢 Chimpanzees playing bouts fosters cooperation in adults! Liran Samuni and colleagues from the Taï Chimpanzee Project show how playing between adult chimpanzees predict cooperation between adults in the group. Enjoy! doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Social play is not only fun but also has important social functions in #chimpanzee societies, promoting bonding & collective cooperation! Current Biology It is also a behavior that is really a pleasure to document Access it here authors.elsevier.com/a/1k8Me3QW8S6G…
