Home Actor Ronan Donovan HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers November 2019 Ronan Donovan Instagram - The hand of our closest living relative - a wild chimpanzee. The long list of similarities that we share with chimps ranges from culture to tool use to language to family structure to infant care and many more. Just look at their hearty working hands. I've watched a chimp get the tip of his finger bit clean off in a skirmish and go back to feeding 10 minutes later. There hands and physique are certainly more robust than ours. A recent story just published online @natgeo about areas in Uganda where the similarities we share with chimps can lead to challenges living alongside them. Link in my bio.

Ronan Donovan Instagram – A series of images from my latest article with National Geographic that published today, written by David Quammen (link in my bio).
Photo 1: Teddy Atuhaire was a four-year-old in Mukichanga village, when a chimp entered the house while her mother was gone and carried Teddy away into a tree. The chimp gashed her head, broke her arm so badly it had to be amputated, and dropped her. The years of recovery have been difficult. With her parents dead, her siblings dead or gone, she lives by occasional labor and care from her aunts.
Photo 2:  A wild chimpanzee, known as Max to researchers, lost both of his feet to poachers’ snares in two separate incidents. Some of the people living nearby set snares in the National Park to trap antelope, bush pigs, and other animals for food. Chimps, despite a taboo in Uganda against eating them, become unintended victims and are strong enough to tear themselves free. But the snare cable remains and cuts off blood-flow to the limbs. About a third of the chimps in one community in Kibale National Park have suffered snare injuries.
Photo 3: An aerial photo depicts the area where both Teddy and Max live. One side is dominated by human agriculture and the other is what remains of Kibale National Park. The pressures put on the land by both humans and wildlife have created these unintended conflicts between humans and wild chimpanzees. 
I’ll continue to post images and stories from this longterm story that I began in 2011. Learn more @bulindichimps
