Ronan Donovan Instagram – Another intimate moment between Mususu and Moon – the same mother and son pair from my last post. ⁣ ⁣ Here, 3 year Moon gently grasps his mother’s face as he nibbles a piece of pre-chewed figs that his mother had been mashing between her powerful jaws. What Mususu is doing is called ‘wadging’ and it’s basically the process of turning fruits into pulp; sucking the juice out and then discarding the dry remains of the fruit in a ‘wadge’. I will post a video of this came behavior tomorrow. ⁣ ⁣ Chimps can spend upwards of 8 hours chewing a day – something humans avoid by cooking our food. ⁣ ⁣ Learn more about chimps in the current issue of @natgeo magazine, through my posts here and by following the conservation NGO @bulindichimps ⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣⁣⁣ .⁣⁣⁣⁣ .⁣⁣⁣⁣ .⁣⁣⁣⁣ #chimpanzee #chimp #chimpanzees #chimps #ape #wildlife #conservation #animals #africa #uganda #bulindi #bulindichimps #wildlifephotography #nature #natgeo⁣⁣⁣ Uganda
