Abstract This paper aims to compile an exhaustive list of the behavioral patterns exhibited by the chimpanzees of the Mahale Mountains National Park, Tanzania. The compilation is based on the glossary compiled by Goodall (1989), but a substantial numbers of new terms have been added. Thus, we list 316 simple anatomical terms, 81 complex anatomical terms, 37 simple functional terms, and 81 complex functional terms, in addition to 116 synonyms. The behavioral patterns are divided into eight categories on the basis of degree of universality: (1) commonly seen in both Homo and two species of Pan, (1?) commonly seen in Homo and only one species of Pan, (2) patterns common to the genus Pan but not to Homo, (3) patterns common to the chimpanzee Pan troglodytes but not the bonobo Pan paniscus, (4) patterns common to eastern (P.t. schweinfurthii) and central (P.t. troglodytes) but not western (P.t. verus) chimpanzees, (5) patterns unique to the eastern chimpanzees, P.t. schweinfurthii, (6) patterns unique to the population of Mahale, (7) patterns unique to many individuals (at least most members of an age/sex class) of M group chimpanzees, (8) patterns limited to a single (idiosyncrasy) or a few individuals of M group. It is most likely that the behavior patterns of the last common ancestor of Homo and Pan are found in Categories 1 and 1? and less likely in Categories 2 and 3. It is possible that behavior patterns belonging to Categories 5, 6 or 7 are cultures.

Introduction This article aims to create an ethogram, that is, to list and describe all the behavioral patterns that have been recorded for the chimpanzees of the Mahale Mountains National Park, Tanzania. Previous such attempts only achieved a preliminary level of classification (Nishida, 1970; Mori, 1982). It is well known that chimpanzees show a great deal of local, as well as age, sex, and idiosyncratic, differences in behavior (for example, Goodall, 1973; Nishida , 1987; McGrew 1998). In which domains are the local behavioral differences most remarkable? This is an important question to be addressed if we want to solve the origins of human culture. The extent of local differences has not been well elucidated , partly because most of the study sites of chimpanzees lack a detailed ethogram. Gombe is an important exception: Goodall and her colleagues were pioneers in preparing a detailed glossary of the behavior of Gombe chimpanzees (Goodall, 1968, 1986, 1989; Bygott, 1974; Plooij, 1984). Consequently, it is relatively easy to compile a list of behavioral patterns of a local population by consulting the Gombe ethogram. A list of the behavioral patterns of a local population of the chimpanzees may in principle include (1) behavioral patterns of our last common ancestor of Pan and Homo, (2) patterns common to the genus Pan, namely chimpanzees and bonobos, but not to Homo, (3) patterns common to the chimpanzee Pan troglodytes , but not the bonobo Pan paniscus, (4) patterns common to eastern (P.t. schweinfurthii) and central (P.t. troglodytes), but not western (P.t. verus) chimpanzees, in view of the recent DNA cladistics (Morin and others, 1994), (5) patterns unique to the eastern chimpanzees, P. schweinfurthii, (6) patterns unique to the population of Mahale, (7) patterns unique to many individuals (at least most members of an age/sex class) of M group chimpanzees , (8) patterns limited to a single (idiosyncrasy) or a few individuals of M group. In addition, there are behavior patterns that we have found in both man and chimpanzees but not bonobos, as well as patterns common to both man and bonobos but not chimpanzees. These behavior patterns are either those of the last common ancestors of Pan and Homo, which either chimpanzee or bonobo has lost, or patterns that were lacking in the last common ancestor but evolved in both man and only one species of Pan in parallel after the split of chimpanzees and bonobos. The last possibility is less likely from the viewpoint of the parsimonious principle. Thus , we add Category 1? for these patterns whose status remain ambiguous. It is most likely that the behavior patterns of our last common ancestor are found in Categories 1 and 1? and less likely in Categories 2 and 3. Since little of the behavior of the chimpanzees of central Africa is known (Kuroda , 1998), it is impossible to delineate the Category (4) above . However, since there has been an increasing amount of information on west African chimpanzees, in particular those of the Tai Forest (for example, Boesch and Boesch, 1999), Bossou (Sugiyama, 1998; Matsuzawa and Yamakoshi, 1996), and Bossou and Kanka Sili' (Kortlandt and Bresser, 1963; Kortlandt and Kooij, 1963; Albrecht and Dunnett, 1971) , we can Ethogram of chimpanzees 143 tentatively regard the common patterns of eastern (Gombe and Mahale) and western (Tai) chimpanzees as candidates of behavior common to the species Pan troglodytes. Studies of the behavior patterns of humans (for example, Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1972; McGrew, 1972; Morris, 1977) and bonobos (for example, Kano, 1980, 1992, 1998; Kuroda, 1980, 1984; Susman and others, 1980; de Waal, 1988) have been published, although to a lesser extent than studies on chimpanzees. Therefore, behavioral comparisons between chimpanzees, bonobos and humans can be made to some extent. Many authors have pointed out behavioral similarities and differences between humans and chimpanzees. Preliminary comparisons have already suggested interesting contrasts between chimpanzees and bonobos (for example, Mori, 1983; Nishida and Hiraiwa-Hasegawa , 1987; de Waal and Lanting, 1997). If we scrutinize the minute details of the behavioral patterns of these species, we might find many more differences between the two species. We need such comparisons in order to reconstruct the behavior of the last common ancestor of Homo and Pan. The class of behavioral category outlined above that each behavioral pattern belongs to cannot be elucidated before extensive research and comparison is made across many groups of local populations. However, a preliminary estimate can be made for some of the best known patterns. For example, no one would deny that "grooming" would be among the behavioral patterns of the last common ancestor. In such cases, we put "Category 1" , for example, in the last part of each behavioral pattern. Behavior patterns belonging to Categories 5, 6 or 7 are most likely to be cultures, but the status remains ambiguous until it is determined by careful comparison whether the environmental factors that might explain the local differences are present or absent.
Methods In compiling an ethogram of Mahale chimpanzees, we tried to incorporate some new principles. First, we tried to make the ethogram maximally inclusive. Second, we distinguished functional definitions from "anatomical" ones. Elements of the latter should be provided for all functionally defined behavioral patterns. In order to attain this goal, we adopted the form of putting verbs in front of nouns or adjectives for the description of behavioral patterns. For example, we used "hunch bipedal" or "clip leaf" instead of "bipedal hunch" or "leaf -clip". Third , we made every effort to list the available references that had illustrations of behavioral patterns in the form of photographs, video frames, or drawings so that researchers at other study sites could verify whether the patterns they see are the same or different from the ones described by us. In order to classify behavioral patterns hierarchically and describe social relationships, both "anatomical" and functional terms are needed. This paper's major aim is to list names for all the behavioral elements in terms of anatomical details, but we also need functional terms in order to describe behavior that is meaningful in the natural habitat. For example, "approach" is a functional term. Although it is simply
Ethogram A Abandon (ABD)(Type D): Nishida(1983a): Alloparent leaves her/his infant charge and departs without returning it to its mother. (Therefore, the infant must return to its mother on its own accord or be retrieved.) Also occursin bonobos (Kano, unpublished).Category 2. Abuse (ABU) (Type D): Nishida(1983a): Older animalapparently mistreatsan infant by ,
B Balance (BAL) (Type A): Nishida's (1983a) aeroplane, Plooij's (1984) Balance (AER): Mother or adult/ adolescent alloparent lying supine holds the infant in a ventro-ventral position and lifts the prone infant from the ground by its four limbs. Caretaker bounces the infant gently up and down with its feet, a pattern strikingly similar to that of humans. The caretaker grasps one or both of the infant's hands. Similar behavior is done by bonobo mothers (Kano, 1998). See Figure 4 of Nishida (1983a) and de Waal (1995, p.64) for photograph. Category 1. Bang: See Throw fruit at. Bark (BAR) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "Loud, sharp sounds, usually given in long sequences with much variation in pitch." It functions to protest against another individual of the same or different species (for example, baboons). This probably corresponds to the bonobo's Bark (Okayasu, 1991) or Wa! call (Kano, 1998). Category 2? Beat ground with stick: See Club. 146 Nishida T., Kano T., Goodall J., McGrew W.C., and Nakamura M.
Beat with fist: See Hit. Beg (BEG) (Type D): Goodall (1989): "Beg for food, toy, or any desirable object from the possessor. Begging is often accompanied by whimpering, and if unsuccessful, the beggar may even throw a tantrum." Kano's (1998) Food beg for the bonobo. Category 1. Beg with hand (BWH) (Type A): Plooij's (1984) Beg with hand (BWH): Beg by stretching hand to the possessor's hand, mouth or food. Goodall's (1989) Beg hand-to-food, hand-to-hand and hand-to-mouth. Kano's (1998) Food beg: hand to hand and hand to mouth. Category 1. Beg with mouth (BWM) (Type A): Beg for food by putting lips to the lips or hand of feeding possessors. Goodall's (1989) Beg mouth-to-mouth. Plooij's (1984) Beg with mouth (BWM). See Figure 14. 1 of Nishida (1990) for photo. Kano's (1998) Food beg: mouth to hand and mouth to mouth. Category 1. Bend away (BEN) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "With elbow and wrist flexed , arm drawn close to body, the chimp leans slightly away from a passing higher ranking animal. This is a submissive gesture." Van Hooff's (1973) Flinch/shrink. Also seen in the bonobos of Wamba (Kano, 1998). Category 2. Bend shrub (BES) (Type B): Nishida's (1997) Shrub-bend, Male courtship pattern: While sitting, push down the stem of a shrub, grass, or herb such as ginger, and put one foot on the plant, and repeat many times the same series of actions, thus apparently making a crude ground cushion or bed . Usually followed by stamping or thumping the ground. Not seen in the bonobos of Wamba. Category 7. Bipedal hunch: See Hunch bipedal. Bipedal jump: See Leap bipedal. Bipedal run: See Run bipedal. Bipedal sex dance: See Dance bipedal. Bipedal swagger: See Swagger bipedal. Bipedal transport: See Transport bipedal. Bipedal walk: See Walk bipedal. Bite (BIT) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Bite: "nipping or cutting into the anatomy of another individual by pressing the teeth on the skin and closing the jaws hard." Plooij's (1984) bite (BIT): Goodall (1989) did not differentiate from "mouth." In bonobos females bite more often than males (Kano , 1998). Male bonobo does not bite female (de Waal and Lanting, 1997). Category 1. Bob (BOB) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "The body bobs up and down as elbows are flexed and straightened. Shown typically by adolescent males but also by adolescent females and juvenile and adult males when a high-ranking individual passes. Sometimes as the dominant recipient of the gesture moves on, the bobber backs away in front of the dominant animal. This may provoke an aggressive response . Bobbing is accompanied by pant-grunts which may become rather frenzied pant-screams ." Plooij's (1984) Bob (BOB). Van Hooff's (1973) Squat bob. Absent in bonobos. Category 3. Bow (BOW) (Type A): Plooij's (1984) Bow (BOW): Similar to Bob in the context. However, this is deep flexion of legs but arms flexed forward, so that head is lower than hips. Absent in bonobos. Category 3. Brachiate (BRA) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Brachiation: "Hanging from branch , animal moves by swinginghand-over-hand." Also, Goodall's (1989) Swing: "During brachiation in the trees ... when the body is swung through space between one support and the next." Plooij's (1984) Brachiate (BRA) . Same as Kano's (1998) Brachiation and Susman and others' (1980) Armswinging. See Figure 5 of Goodall (1968) for illustration. Category 1-2. Branch break: See Break branch. Branch drag: See Drag branch. Branch shake: See Shake branch. Break branch (BRB) (Type A): Chimpanzee breaks off a branch in order to throw or drag it in display on the ground (see Drag branch), or eat from it comfortably above the ground. In feeding, chimpanzee breaks off a terminal branch laden with fruits or young leaves, carries it to a safe place such as a big bough or position closer to the tree trunk, and eats from the branch. By such manipulations, many large food trees have been modified into different shapes . Recorded for P. t. troglodytes of Gabon (Takenoshita and others, 1998). Seen among the bonobo in feeding context and before branch-dragging display (Kano, 1998). Category 1 or 2. Break tree (BRT) (Type B): Break a tree trunk by leaping and pushing against the trunk of a sapling. Kortlandt's (1967) Break tree. Element of charging display by adult male.
C Cannibalism: See Eat chimpanzee. Care alloparentally (CAL) (Type D): Nishida's (1983a) Alloparental behavior: Class of behavioral patterns similar to maternal care, shown to infants by individuals other than the mother, including
Climb down: See Descend. Climb vertical (CLV) (Type A): Hunt and others' (1996) "Flexed-elbow vertical climb". Climb a woody vine or small tree by alternately using palmar surfaces of four limbs. See Figure 3 of Nishida (1983a). Category 1. Climb vertical, extended elbow (CLE) (Type A): Hunt and others' (1996) "Extended-elbow vertical climbing". Extend arms around trunk of a huge tree and propel upwards by the simultaneous kicking or walking movements of feet. Category 1. Cling (CLN) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "Gripping a tree trunk or branch with hands or hands and feet. An infant clings to mother's belly, back, arm or leg..." Also seen in bonobos (Kano, unpublished). See Photograph 5 in Nishida (1968). Category 2. Clip leaf (CLL) (Type B): Nishida's (1980b) Leaf clip: Pull a leaf repeatedly between lips or teeth with one hand, producing a conspicuous sound that attracts attention from the prospective sex partner. One of the most common courtship display patterns in Mahale chimpanzees. Also occurs as an act of frustration or play at Bossou (Sugiyama, 1981) and as a prelude to male drumming behavior or an act of frustration at Tai (Boesch, 1995). Thus, the contexts in which this occurs differ from place to place. Moreover, the detail of the behavior pattern differs between Mahale and Tai. See Figure 38-2 of Nishida (1987) for drawing. Category 7. Close eyes (EYC) (Type A): Chimpanzees close eyes: (1) in sleep, (2) as a reflex when they are frightened, and (3) when they seem to be in bliss. An adult male (Alofu) lies on the ground with eyes closed apparently in bliss, after stuffing a great amount of sweet fruit in his mouth. Plooij's (1984) Eyes Closed (EYC). Category 1. Club (CLB) (Type A): Strike target with a long (usually more than 1m), thick stick in overthrow movement. Van Hooff (1973) and Kortlandt and Kooij (1963) described this pattern. Seen only rarely and displayed by a few individuals at Mahale. Absent in bonobos (Kano, unpublished). Category 1?. Club another (CLA) (Type A): Club another individual with a stick. Adult male (Toshibo) twice hit another adult male with a stout stick after flailing it. Category 8. Club ground (CLG) (Type A): Strike the ground with a long, thick stick to solicit copulation, seen in two juvenile males. Adult male (Fanana) clubs the ground in order to entice an estrous female to follow him during consortship. Juvenile male clubs the ground to threaten another juvenile during play. Several adult males (Lukaja, Fanana, Dogura) club the ground or wall of house as a component of charging display. Category 8? Compress lips (COM) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Compressed lips: "The lips are pressed tightly together so that the upper lip is bunched up and protrudes beyond the point where the lips meet. Seen during displays and attacks." Plooij's (1984) Compressed lips (COM). Absent in bonobos. Category 3. Console (CSL) (Type D): Third party touches, grooms or licks a victim attacked and wounded by another. See Lick wound. Kano's (1998) "Conciliating behavior" by the bonobo. Category 1. Consort (CST) (Type D): Goodall's (1989) Consortship: "An exclusive sexual relationship between adult male and female... the female is taken to a peripheral part of the community range away from other rival males." McGinnis's (1973) consortship, Tutin's (1974) Safari behavior. Consortship has been deduced for the chimpanzees of Tai from a genetic study (Gagneux and others 1999). Not seen in the bonobos of Wamba (Kano, 1998). Category 3. Coprophagy: See Eat feces. Copulate (COP) (Type A): Intromission and pelvic thrusting between male and estrous female. Goodall's (1989) Copulation, Plooij's (1984) Copulate.Category 1. Copulate between group (CPG) (Type D): Young, and less often prime, estrous females may visit a neighboring unit group and mate at Gombe (Goodall, 1986), Mahale (Nishida and others, 1985) and Tai (Gagneux and others, 1999). Bonobo unit groups occasionally mingle peacefully, and mating between members of different groups occurs at Wamba (Idani, 1990) and Lomako (Fruth , cited in de Waal and Lanting, 1997). Adult males do not interfere with such copulations (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Copulate dorso-ventral (CDV) (Type A): Male mounts the rear of the female. Major copulating pattern among mature males and females of both chimpanzees and bonobos. See Figure 11-1 of McGrew and others (1996) for photograph. Category 1. Copulate ventro-ventral (CVV) (Type A): Male mounts the front of the female. Occurs rarely between adolescent females and immature male chimpanzees. More common between adolescent females and mature and immature male bonobos (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Ethogram of chimpanzees 149
Copulatory dart: See Dart. Copulatory squeal: See Squeal in copulation. Cough (COH) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "When chimps have colds and coughs they sneeze and cough, sounding like humans." Bonobos also cough (Kano, unpublished). Category 1. Cough-threat (COT) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "A grunt-like sound uttered through slightly open mouth directed by higher ranking chimpanzees to subordinates. Indicates mild annoyance. It functions as a mild threat." Threat call of one syllable. Also uttered by bonobos (Kano, unpublished). Category 2. Counter-attack: See Retaliate. Courtship display: See Solicit copulation. Cover breast: See Cover nipple. Cover nipple (CON) (Type A): Plooij's (1984) Cover nipple (CON). Goodall's (1989) Cover breast: "Mother prevents access to breast by placing her arm across her nipple... She may also lie with breasts pressed to the ground or branch". Part of mother's weaning of her infant. Not recorded for the bonobos of Wamba (Kano, 1998). Category 3. Cradle with hand (CDH) (Type A): Mother supports her newborn infant with both arms. Goodall's (1989) Cradle. Kano's (1998) Cradle. for the bonobo of Wamba. Category 1. Cradle with leg (CDL) (Type A): Mother hanging from a tree branch supports her infant clinging to her belly with one thigh flexed so that the baby's body is pressed against her. Plooij's (1984) Cradle (CRA). Seen in bonobos (Kano, unpublished). Category 2. Creep (CRE) (Type D): Walk stealthily. Goodall (1989) states that "...a fearful subordinate tries to creep from the vicinity of a particular higher ranking individual. The subordinate proceeds with extreme caution, moving slowly while keeping a constant sharp watch on the other..." Bonobos of Wamba show a similar pattern (Kano, 1998). Category 1-2? Cross (CRS) (Type B): Flex one or both limbs to rest on opposite limb. Category 1. Cross arms (CRA) (Type A): Flex arms across chest. Category 1. Cross legs (CRL) (Type A): Flex one leg to rest on opposite leg, which is supported on substrate. Category 1. Crouch (CRO) (Type A): Van Hooff's (1973) and Plooij's (1984) Crouch (CRO). Goodall's (1989) Crouch: "Quadrupedal posture with limbs flexed, hindquarters not turned towards another animal". Goodall states that: "...Often occurs in greeting when it is usually accompanied by pant grunts or during submission after aggression..." Kano's (1998) Crouch and Present in agonistic interaction for the bonobo. Category 2. Crouch-present: See Present with limbs flexed. Crowd (CRW) (Type D): Many chimpanzees gather to peer at an individual or gaze at an object. Occurs when a chimpanzee tries to pick out a thorn from its foot, inspects its seriously damaged skin, carries a baby that has just died, has precious food such as meat, or an unusual object in the environment that stimulates chimpanzees' curiosity. When crowded, chimpanzees appear to allow closer contact with each other than usual. No adult bonobos crowd (Kano, unpublished). Category 1? Crush (CRH) (Type A): Press louse between finger-tips of both hands. Absent in bonobos. Category 8? Crutch (CRU) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "A method of progressing, usually when the chimp is going downhill, during which the arms are used as crutches. With both hands on the ground, the legs and body are swung forward through the arms..." Plooij's (1984) crutch (CRU). At Mahale, also occurs when a mother carries her newborn on her belly, accompanied by
D Dab (DAB) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "Rapid hitting movement in which the backs of the flexed fingers are directed toward a more dominant individual, typically an adult male. Only a few individuals, mostly adolescents, have been observed to dab. Usually these individuals dabbed several times in succession, and the gesture was mostly directed toward the face of the other." At Mahale, seen only in a few adolescents and juveniles. Absent in the bonobos of Wamba (Kano, 1998). Category 8? Dance bipedal (DCB) (Type B): Nishida's (1997) Bipedal sex dance: Stand on one's feet while raising the 150 Nishida T., Kano T., Goodall J., McGrew W.C., and Nakamura M. arms or performing the branch-shaking display. Only one adult female (Wakiluhya) of M group showed this type of courtship, but de Waal (1982) mentioned similar pattern. Similar pattern displayed by the bonobos of Wamba. Category 8. Dangle (DAN) (Type A): Plooij's (1984) Dangle (DAN). Goodall (1989): "Infant hangs, under , from the side of, or below mother or another individual with one or both hands. Does not grip with feet. May also dangle from a branch..." Seen in the bonobos of Wamba (Kano, 1998). See Figures 19 a, and 19b of Goodall (1968). Category 2. Dart (DAR) (Type D): Estrous female runs quickly a few meters after copulation. Often accompanied by copulatory squeal and grin, then, the female often lies down for a few minutes. Nishida's (1997) Copulatory dart. Absent in bonobos (Kano, unpublished). Category 3-5. Deceive (DCV) (Type D): (1) mislead other individuals for one's own advantage by not showing posture, gesture, or facial expression usually done in that context, (2) mislead other individuals for one's own advantage by expressing posture, gesture, or facial expression that is irrelevant in that context (Nishida, 1990, 1998). Reported from Gombe (Goodall, 1971) and captivity (de Waal, 1982). Likely to be Category 1. Depart (DPT) (Type C): Begin to move. From the rest to travel phase. Category 1. Descend (DSC) (Type D): Climb down from an elevated site: Includes 5 patterns: DBR, DQF, DQH , Leap down and Slide down. Category 1. Descend by brachiating (DBR) (Type A): While the chimpanzee progresses by brachiation, the bough gradually bends down until the ground can be reached with the feet. Known for the bonobo (Kano, 1998). Likely to be Category 1. Descend quadrupedal feet first (DQF) (Type A): Climb down backwards. Seen in bonobos (Kano , unpublished). Category 1. Descend quadrupedal head first (DQH) (Type A): Climb down forwards. Seen in bonobos (Kano, unpublished). Category 2. Detach (DTC) (Type D): Nishida (1983a): Take infant from its mother. Keeps the infant under the alloparent's control for as long as the alloparent wants, since it is hard for the infant to return to the mother on its own if it is taken away far from the mother. Goodall's (1989) Kidnap: "(Borrow by consent) When an infant is carried away from the mother by a sibling or by another chimp." See Figures 2 and 3 of Nishida (1983a) for photograph. Known for the bonobos of Wamba (Kano, 1998). Category 1-2. Detour (DET) (Type C): Deliberately take a roundabout route. Occurs when a chimpanzee wants to avoid a dominant rival, or when a chimpanzee finds the shortest route to be difficult, for example, gap in a tree or crossing a river. Kano's (1998) Detour and Pass with detour for the bonobos of Wamba . Category 1. Dig with hand (DGH) (Type A): Dig into wet ground of a dry stream with hand to get drinking water. More than 4 individuals of M group did this. The bonobos of Lilungu and Wamba dig for earthworms and mushrooms, not for water (Bermejo and others, 1994; Kano, 1998). See also Remove leaves. Category 8. Dig with stick (DGS) (Type A): Dig with tool wet ground of a dry stream to obtain water . Only one juvenile female was seen to do this. Absent in the bonobos of Wamba (Kano, unpublished). Category 8. Display away (DSA) (Type C): Goodall (1989): "After interaction with another, usually an attack , the chimp departs in a charging display." Seen in bonobos (Kano , unpublished). Category 2? Display, charging (CHD) (Type D): Plooij's (1984) charging display (CHD) . Goodall (1989): "The chimp may move in a slow rhythmic" cantering gait, "run at a moderate speed or very fast. Display patterns include
feet. They may kick backwards with their feet or hit the trunk or buttress with their hands. Often a particular" drumming tree "triggers a drumming display and the individuals of a traveling group are likely to drum one after the other as they pass. Usually drumming is accompanied by the pant-hoot call, but sometimes...drumming is without vocalization. Chimps at Gombe also pound on the walls of research buildings and on a barrel placed at the feeding area..." Mahale's chimpanzees do the same. Drumming patterns vary from one individual to another. For example, an individual male who is standing erect beats the walls of research buildings with only one palm, another does so with two palms, and the third one with one fist, while the fourth one kicks with one foot and the fifth does so with both feet. Drumming reported from Kibale and Tai (Arcadi and others, 1998). Bonobos also drum on buttresses, most often immediately after the onset of traveling (Kano, 1998). See Figure 3 of Nishida (1994) for photograph. Category 2. Drum belly (DMB) (Type A): Idiosyncratic performance shown by only one juvenile male. Five-year-old Cadmus slapped his belly with his right hand to make drum-like sounds, while hanging from a branch by his left arm. There were no other chimpanzees nearby. Perhaps this was play or was in response to the approach of a human observer. Absent in the bonobos of Wamba (Kano, unpublished). Category 8. Dunk (DUN) (Type B): Put an object into water without releasing it. Absent in the bonobos. Category 8. Dunk colobus skin (DUC) (Type A): Adult male (Musa) once dunked a red colobus skin into a stream apparently in order to clean it. See Wash. Category 8. Dunk face (DUF) (Type A): Juveniles dunk their faces into water repeatedly in playin the river. Category 8.
Eat (EAT) (Type B): Remove foodstuff (leaves and so on.) from the substrate , process, put into mouth, bite and chew, wadge and swallow it. Goodall's (1989) Feed. Kano's (1998) Feed. Category 1. Eat ants (EAA) (Type B): Eat Crematogaster ants by cracking a grass stem or dry branch with teeth (See Nishida and Uehara, 1983 for photograph), breaking off a large log with hands and occasionally hands and feet. Eating carpenter ants (Camponotus spp.) by cracking a grass stem or by using tools (fishing for ants). A nest of weaver ants (Oecophylla longinoda) is grabbed with one hand, and often peeled on the ground, with the ants being quickly eaten. Ants are eaten everywhere, but the species eaten vary from place to place (McGrew, 1992). The bonobos of Wamba do not eat ants, but those of Lilungu eat adult and larvae of Tetraponera (Bermejo and others, 1994). Humans in the tropical region eat ants (Bodenheimer, 1951). Category 1? Eat blossom (EAB) (Type B): Eating techniques resemble those for eating leaves. Eaten by bonobos (Kano, 1992). Category 1. Eat carcass (EAX) (Type B): Scavenge. Eat the carcass of mammals that have not been killed by oneself or one's companions. Scavenging has been seen at Gombe (Muller and others, 1995) and Mahale (Hasegawa and others, 1983; Nishida, 1994). Not recorded for the bonobo of Wamba. Category 1? Eat conspecific (EAC) (Type B): Cannibalism. Chimpanzees of Mahale occasionally eat infants (Hamai and others, 1992). Known also from Budongo (Suzuki, 1971), Gombe (Bygott , 1972; Goodall, 1986), Kibale (Mitani, unpublished) and Tai (Boesch and Boesch, 1999). See photographs 1-4 of Kawanaka (1981). Not recorded for the bonobo (Kano, 1992). Category 3. Eat feces (EAD) (Type B): Goodall's (1989) Coprophagy. At Mahale, eating one's feces has been seen only rarely. Adult female (Chausiku) picked out and ate undigested seeds of Saba florida from her feces. Gombe apes picked undigested meat from feces (Wrangham, 1977); Assirik chimpanzees picked out baobab seeds from feces (McGrew and others, 1988). Not observed for the bonobos of Wamba (Kano, 1998). Category 8. Eat fruit (EAF) (Type B): Crop fruits in a tree, from shrubs on the ground, or pick up fallen fruits from the ground, then, open the fruit shell with hands or teeth, and ingest the pulp.

Eat leaves (EAL) (Type B): Put leaves into the mouth and ingest them. Chimpanzee may bring mouth to the leaves or bring cropped leaves into the mouth. Important cropping technique is
Category 1. Eat meat (EAM) (Type B): Meat eating consists of the ingestion of bones, teeth, bone marrow, brain, intestines, stomach and intestinal contents, and skin, in addition to muscles. Eating meat is unusually prolonged, sometimes for more than 3 hr. Prey includes red colobus, blue, red-tailed, and vervet monkeys, greater galago, infant chimpanzees (see Eat conspecific), blue duiker, bushbuck, bushpig, giant rat, rock hyrax, civet, francolin, guinea fowl, and weaver bird. Meat-eating has been confirmed throughout the chimpanzee range (Uehara, 1997). See Figure 9-2 of McGrew and others (1996) for photograph. Bonobos have also been recorded to eat meat in Wamba (Kano, 1992), Lomako (Hohman and Fruth, 1993) and Lilungu (Bermejo and others, 1994), but in much less often and extensively (Kano, 1998). See also Hunt. Category 1. Eat phloem (EAH) (Type B): Eat phloem or inner bark rich in sugar and protein by scraping outer bark with incisors. See Figure 1 of Nishida (1976) for photograph.

See Figure X of Uehara (1982) for photograph. Fishing for soldiers of Macrotermes has been observed in the chimpanzees of B group (Nishida and Uehara, 1980, McGrew and Collins, 1985). Widely known throughout the chimpanzee range (Tuttle, 1986). The bonobos of Lilungu eat termites of different genera from those eaten by chimpanzees by introducing fingers into the hole that they had opened manually (Bermejo and others, 1994). Termites are widely eaten bytropical people (Bodenheimer, 1951). Category 1. Eat termite soil (ETS) (Type B): Pick up and ingest small pieces of the soil from termite towers of Pseudacanthotermes. Termite soil also eaten by the bonobo (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Eat wood (EAW) (Type B): Eat dry dead wood of, for example, Pycnanthus angolensis. See Nishida and Uehara (1983) for photograph.

Face close: See Peer. F Feed: See Eat. Fend (FEN) (Type D): Goodall (1989): "Most often seen when a mother keeps her child away with her hand or foot when she is being pestered for a share of her food, when her infant tries to suckle during weaning, and so on. But adults sometimes fend off individuals who are begging from them." Not limited to food but any case of deflecting reach of another. Bonobos show similar behavior (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Fight (FIG) (Type D): Attack each other. See attack. Category 1. Finger wrestle: See Wrestle with fingers.

Fish for carpenter ants (FIA) (Type B): Insert a fishing probe such as peeled bark, unmodified vine, branch, modified branch, midrib of leaf, or scraped wood into the entrance of wood-boring carpenter ants (Camponotus spp.) and withdraw the probe laden with the soldier ants and lick them off with lips and tongues. Usually an arboreal activity that can continue for more than 3 hours at a time, it is performed throughout the year (Nishida and Hiraiwa, 1982). See Plates 1-6 of Nishida (1973) for photographs . The chimpanzees of Gombe do not fish for carpenter ants, but dip for driver ants (McGrew, 1974). Category 6. Fish for termites (FIT) (Type B): Resembles ant fishing. Fishing for the termites of Pseudacanthotermes spongier has been observed for only K group chimpanzees (Uehara 1982). Fishing for Macrotermes only for B group chimpanzees (Nishida and Uehara, 1980; Uehara, 1982; McGrew and Collins, 1985). Fishing for termites has not been seen for M group chimpanzees apparently because of the lack of Macrotermes species. Recorded from both west (McGrew and others, 1979; Humle, 1999) and central (Sugiyama, 1985; Suzuki and others, 1995, McGrew and Rogers, 1983) Africa in addition to Gombe. Not recorded for bonobos.

Bonobos grab in the same context (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Grapple (GRP) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "When two individuals go into a clinch with arms locked and heads bowed, and sometimes roll over and over. Individuals may be fighting or playing. Not uncommon when adult females fight one another." Bonobos do the same (Kano, 1998). Category 1.

Hang-stand (HST) (Type A): Hang from the branch while one or both feet touch the substratum below. Usually assumed as a temporary posture changing to another posture or locomotion, and sometimes as a brief resting posture. Also occurs in bonobos (Kano, unpublished). Category 1-2. Hang tripedal (HAT) (Type A): Hang while gripping the branches with two feet and one hand. The head and trunk is maintained more or less erect. The other hand is used for eating fruits or young leaves at the ends of high branches. Occurs also in bonobos. Category 2. Hang upside-down (HUD) (Type A): Hang with two feet from a branch.

Infanticide has also been recorded from Budongo, Gombe, Kibale and Tai (see Eat conspecific). Adult chimpanzees were suspected to have been killed within a group (Nishida, 1996) and between groups (Nishida and others, 1985). Killing adults have been recorded at Gombe (Goodall, 1986) and Budongo (Whiten, pers. comm.) and suspected at Kibale (Wrangham and Peterson, 1996). Category 1? Kiss (KIS) (Type B): Goodall (1989) divides Kiss into two forms: pout-kiss and open-mouth kiss. Both of these types are seen among the bonobo, but rare. Adult bonobos at Wamba do not kiss (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Kiss in pout face (KPO) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "The lips are slightly pouted and pressed against, or briefly laid against, the body, face, or limbs of another. Pout kissing often occurs in greeting, submissive and reassurance contexts." Absent in bonobos (Kano, unpublished). Category 3. Kiss with open mouth (KOM) (Type A): Plooij's (1984) OMK.

C., and Nakamura M.
Locomotor play: See Play. Look back (LOB) (Type A): Groomee looks back at the groomer who has just stopped grooming, and the latter immediately resumes grooming. Thus, turning round is a request to resume grooming. A walking chimpanzee looks back in order to monitor whether the companion is following. This often occurs when an adult male leads his sexual partner during consortship. Also occurs in the bonobos of Wamba in the similar contexts (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Look up (LOU) (Type A): While sitting or standing, a chimpanzee raises the face up in order to monitor arboreal stimuli, for example, fruit, colobus monkey, or other conspecifics. Category 1. Lost call: See Whimper-scream. Lower arm (LWA) (Type A): Groomee lowers arm, for example, when the grooming-hand-clasp stops, signaling intention to change role or posture. Used by groomer to request groomee to change role among bonobos (Kano, unpublished). Category 2? Lower head (LWH) (Type A): Two individuals face each other in social grooming, and one partner flexes the neck to offer the top of head for grooming. Occurs also in bonobos (Kano, unpublished). Category 1-2. Lower leg (LWL) (Type A): Resting or lying groomee lowers raised leg, which apparently stimulates the groomer to groom another body part. Similar patterns is seen in bonobos (Kano, unpublished). Category 2?
M Make a bed (MBD) (Type B): Goodall's (1989) Nest. Construct a platform for sleep or rest by bending branches over each other. "Bed" is preferable to nest because the major function is not for rearing but for sleeping. Includes
(1964) Sham copulation. Plooij's (1984) MOU, de Waal's (1982) Mount. Both male and female can mount. Mounting occurs especially among adult males during high social excitement such as the reunion of rival males in which each rival male mounts an adult male or female, and both participants often scream or pant-scream. Mounting is usually accompanied by pelvic thrusts. Mounting appears to function as self-reassurance, reassurance, recruitment of coalition partners, and so on. Among the bonobos , mounting occurs in similar contexts such as appeasement and easing of tension, but posture differs , such that the mounted usually stands on all fours (Kano, 1998). Category 2. Mount in copulation (MOC) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Copulation mount: "The male places both hands firmly on the female's back or sides, during which he may open mouth kiss her... accompanied by intromission and thrusting movements of the pelvis."

P Palmigrade walk: See Walk quadrupedal palmigrade. Pant (PAN) (Type B): Goodall (1989): "...various calls which are linked by audible inhalations and which may be described as vocalized pant. Non-vocal panting sometimes occurs whenchimpanzees are grooming each other, during greeting, and so on. Sometimes, when the mouth isclosed, only breathing sounds are heard. The best indication of panting is the quick rhythmic movements of the body that accompany it." Pant occurs in bonobos in play, but unknown in other contexts? Category 2-3? Pant-bark (PBA) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "Series of bark-like sounds joined by voiced inhalations." Status unknown in bonobos. Category 2-3? Pant-grunt (PGR) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "A series of soft or loud grunts functioning as a token of respect given during greeting by submissive chimpanzees and during submissive interactions... A highly fearful individual may utter frenzied pant barks that may be labeled pant-screams." Van Hooff's(1973) Rapid OhOh. At Mahale, while pant-grunting adult females may

photo. Pant-grunt is completely lacking in the bonobo (Nishida and Hiraiwa-Hasegawa, 1987).Category 3. Pant-grunt with bent elbow (PGE) (Type A): Pant-grunt while crouched quadrupedally with elbow flexed. Pattern in pant-grunt complex performed by older juvenile and adolescent males at Mahale. Category 3-5. Pant-hoot (PHT) (Type A): Goodall (1989): Series of long calls "which are often contact calls between distant groups or calls given by chimpanzees at night, from their nests, when they are within earshot of another group... give pant-hoots when they arrive at a food source, cross a ridge, or face into a new valley. A subordinate greeting a dominant often gives pant hoots and pant grunts..." At Mahale adult males also pant hoot when agonistic confrontations are continuing, in which pant hoots may function as a vocal threat. See Figures 4, 5 and 6 of Nishida (1983b) for photograph. Pant-hoots may be divided into four stages: build-up, pause, climax and end, but females lack the climax and end stages (Mitani and Nishida, 1993). Exact bonobo edition of pant-hoot call is absent (Nishida, personal observation), but, Kano's (1998) Waa call, or Okayasu's (1991) Hoot may be homologous to the pant-hoot. The bonobo Waa call is emitted at the time of arrival in the feeding ground, during feeding, during resting and at sunset after making the night beds (Kano, 1998). Category 2. Pant-scream: See Pant-grunt. Parry (PAR) (Type A): Van Hooff's (1973) Parry: "One or both arms are raised. The forearm is kept in a roughly horizontal position over or in front of the head, thus shielding it off from possible beats from a fellow." Goodall's (1989) Startle flinch: "When a chimpanzee is startled by a sudden movement nearby (such as a low-flying bird, large insect, unexpected gesture of human or even another chimp, and so on.) he/she will immediately duck his head and fling one or both arms across his/her face, or if very startled , throw both hands in the air..." Also, corresponds to Goodall's (1968) Startle reaction. The bonobos of Wamba may duck their heads in the similar context (Kano, unpublished). Category 1. Pass (PAS) (Type C): Walks past another, without body contact.
Pirouette (PIR) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "The chimp (usually a youngster) progresses in a series of tight circles, moving on all fours or on their feet. A type of locomotor play". See Figure 7f of Goodall (1968) for illustration. Seen among juveniles at Mahale. Probably absent in the bonobos of Wamba (Kano, unpublished). Category 3?
Play (PLY) (Type B): Goodall (1989) divided play into lone play and social play. Further, she divided lone play into 4 categories, (a) locomotor play, or van Hooff's (1973) Gymnastics, (b) nest play, (c) object play, and (d) self play. She added that, "There is a facial expression connected with play, the play face, a type of locomotion that is seen only in the play context, the play walk, and a vocalization, laughing." Goodall (1989) listed as elements of each play type as follows: (a) locomotor play:
Play-bite (PLB) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) play bite: "Contact made on the partner's body with teeth.
Sometimes one of the players gets a firm grip on a limb and holds on for minutes at a time..." See Mouth, since play-bite is
Play, imaginary (PLI) (Type D): Engaged in self-play, but apparently with imaginary companion or tool.
A multiparous adult female lying on her back with all limbs up was seen to play-pant as if she was playing "aeroplane" with her infant who had been dead for a few months (Nishida , unpublished). Hayaki (1985) recorded an adolescent male running around a tree repeatedly while play-panting loudly as if he was chasing, or fleeing from a playmate. Rarely observed. Category 8?

Play in rough and tumble (PRT) (Type B): Most physical type of play usually between youngsters . Comprises wrestling and often locomotor play. Elements include
Play-pant (PLP) (Type A): Plooij's (1984) Laugh (LAC). Goodall's (1989) Laugh: "Somewhat resembles human laughter, heard when chimpanzees are playing socially. As the play becomes rougher, or involves more tickling, there is more laughter..." Bonobos also play-pant (de Waal, 1988; Okayasu , 1991; Kano, 1998). Category 1.
Play self (PLS) (Type B): Goodall's (1989) Self play. Kano's (1998) Lone (Self) play. Category 1.

Push finger into mouth (PFM) (Type A): Nishida (1983a): "insert one or morefingers/toes into the mouth of another individual." Goodall's (1989) Finger in mouth includes both PFM andTFM. This appeases or reassures another (usually, more dominant) individual, or calms an excited adultmale. Not seen among the bonobo except when infants or juveniles are begging for food (Kano, 1998).Category 2. Push forward (PUF) (Type A): Juvenile female (Maggy) played by pushing repeatedl a hard shelled fruit forward along the ground. Category 8.

Kano's (1998) Dangling riding for the bonobo. Category 2. Ride dorsal (RDD) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Dorsal travel: "When an infant rides on .the back of another. Three infant dorsal positions: Jockey, Prone, Quadrupedal and Supine." Kano's (1998) Dorsal travel for the bonobo. Category 1. Ride extended (RDE) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "Infant in a ventral position grips mother's hair with hands and feet but has arms and legs extended so that its back almost brushes the ground as she travels ." Seen in bonobos. Category 2. Ride jockey (RDJ) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "When an infant sits on the back of another in a straight upright position.

Rise (RIS) (Type A): Shift from lying posture to sitting or standing posture . Rising by a groomee stimulates the groomer who has stopped grooming to re-start. Category 2. Rock (ROC) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Rocking: "Slight or vigorous side to sidemovements of the body when the chimp is sitting... Rocking occurs when a male is working up to a charging display..." At Mahale, rocking occurs not only before a charging display, but also when some individuals become nervous. Rocking occurs only in the context of courtship among the bonobo, not as warming up for a charging display (Kano, 1998). Category 2? Roll (RLL) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Roll: "A chimpanzee may hit another and roll over him during aggression or play." Seen in bonobos in aggression (Kano, unpublished). Category1 or 2.

See Figure 15 of Goodall (1968). May lie supine on a rock, the ground, grasses, horizontal bough, or day bed to rub themselves. See Figure 4 of Nishida (1980a). Seen in the bonobos of Wamba (Kano, unpublished). Category 2. Rub muzzle (RBM) (Type A): Rub muzzle stained with fruit juice against a shrub, grass stalk, slender vine, or bark of tree or stone in order to wipe off the mess. This is different from "wipe" because the chimpanzee puts the body part to a "part of the environment", not the tool to the body (Wipe) . This has been seen for only one adult female (Chausiku) who did so several times, in particular, after eating the seeds of Parkia filicoidea. Not described in Goodall (1989) but occurs at Gombe (McGrew, unpublished). Category 8. Run (RUN) (Type B): Locomote quickly. Category 1. Run bipedal (RUB) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Bipedal run. Chimpanzees run on both feet during a charging display. Adult male (MA) once ran on both feet over ground swarming with Dorillus ants, apparently in order to avoid being bitten. See Plate 33 of Albrecht and Dunnett (1971) for photograph. Bonobos also run as bipeds (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Run quadrupedal (RUQ) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Quadrupedal run. Category 2?

Bonobos show similar behavior (Kano , unpublished). Cf. Monitor. Category 2. Scavenge: See Eat carcass. Scoop (SCP) (Type A): Goodall(1989): "When the mother is about to travel and the infant is on the 170 Nishida T., Kano T., Goodall J., McGrew W.C., and Nakamura M. ground near her rump she reaches back and pushes the child up onto her back with a backward and upward movement, using the palm of her hand and fingers." Kano's (1998) Scoop for the bonobo. Category 1. Scratch (SCR) (Type B): Rake partly flexed finger nails over surface. Goodall's (1989) Scratch. Seen as self-scratch in bonobos (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Scratch aggressively (SCA) (Type A): Scratch another animal in order to inflict wound. Goodall's (1989) Aggressive scratch: "A chimpanzee may scratch another during a fight." Probably occurs also in bonobos (Kano, unpublished). Category 1? Scratch dead leaves (SCL) (Type A): Scratch or rake with one or both hands the dead leaves that have been piled up on the ground, as an initiation of the charging display. Maybe the same behavior as Goodall's (1989) Scrub ("A component of charging displays. The chimp takes a bunch of vegetation, burlap nag and so on, and moves his hand in a semi-circular motion from side to side. Often in preparation for a charging display") or Rake. Absent in the bonobos of Wamba (Kano, unpublished). Category 3-5. Scratch self (SCE) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Self-scratch: "Nails drawn deliberately across skin. In self-grooming, scratching is directed against the direction of hair growth and is followed by grooming of the scratched part... During social grooming the groomee often scratches a body part that is then groomed by the partner." Also occurs when a chimpanzee is frustrated, and feel uneasy. See Figure 12 of Nishida (1970) for photograph. Kano's (1998) Self-scratch for the bonobo. Category 1. Scratch self distantly (SCD) (Type C): Kind of Scratch self. Goodall's (1989) Distance scratch: "A grooming session sometimes initiated when one chimp sits, holds an overhead branch, and makes deliberate scratching movements while staring at the desired grooming partner who may be several meters away. Loud frustrated scratching may serve as a signal to a reluctant female who is being led away on a consortship, indicating that the patience of the male is wearing thin." Occasionally seen in bonobos in the beginning of grooming (Kano, unpublished). Category 2? Scratch socially (SCS) (Type A): Nishida's (1983a) Scratch or Rub: Scratch the skin of other's back vigorously during the beginning or middle of a grooming bout, usually with one hand. Making audible sound. Pattern is absent at Gombe. Nakamura and others' (1999) Social scratch. The bonobos of Wamba occasionally scratch another individual with the first and second fingers in grooming (Kano, 1998). Category 6. Scream (SRM) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "...high pitched and loud, almost always given in a series. Usually heard in contexts of aggression and general social excitement by highly stressed, fearful, frustrated, or excited individual..." Kano (1998) divided the bonobo scream calls into two, Scream and Screech. Category 1. Scream, food (SCF) (Type A): Uttered by some adult males when eating a prized food, such as the ripe fruit of Saba or Garcinia, especially during the beginning of the bout. Not mentioned in Goodall (1989). Bonobo's Food peep (Okayasu, 1991) or Food grunt (Kano, 1998) might be homologousto FSC. Category 2?

Search (SEA) (Type D): Look for unseen chimpanzees, by several methods: (1) sit and listen, (2) walk around, often returning to the original place, (3) sniff the ground, in particular, path intersections and footprints, and (4) climb tree and scan the environment, frequently employed by a lost juvenile who is whimpering. Not recorded in the bonobos of Wamba. Category 1?-7. Self-clasp: See Clasp self. Self-groom: See Groom self. Self-scratch: See Scratch self. Separating intervention: See Interfere to separate. Shake branch (SHB) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Branch shaking: "A branch is shaken with quick jerky movements of the arm, slight or vigorous. The chimp may be sitting or standing..." Plooij's (1984) Branching (BRN). Nishida's (1997) Branch-shake: Courtship pattern of males and females: Sit while shaking horizontally stem of a shrub, branch of a tree, or a woody vine. Branch-shaking can be understood as a request for a partner to come closer or to leave together. Contexts include courtship, continuation of consortship (herding technique), and enticement to travel together. Kano's (1998) Branch-shaking and Ingmanson's (1996) Branch waving for the bonobos of Wamba. Category 2. Shake detached branch (SHR) (Type A): Detached, leafy branch is held in one hand or foot and shaken horizontally in courtship by several juvenile males. Category 8. Ethogram of chimpanzees 171

Share food (SHF) (Type D): Allow another individual to take food that is under the control of the owner (for example, in the mouth or hand, on the lap, or in proximity). Same as Feistner and McGrew's (1989) Transfer of food. Meat is the most common food to be shared among adults. Food sharing is most common between mothers and infants. "Food share" (Kuroda, 1984; Kano, 1998) occurs in bonobos a Wamba and at Lomako (Hohmann and Fruth, 1993). See Figures 14a, b, and c of Nishida (1970) and Figure 8-8 of McGrew and others (1996) for photograph. Category 1. Show off (SHO) (Type D): Aggressive behavior that occurs between individuals meeting after a separation. Includes
Slide down (SLD) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Fireman slide: "A chimp may slide down a vertical or diagonal pole or tree in an upright or crouched position. All four limbs are in contact with the pole or tree." Kano's (1998) Vertical slide. Category 1. Sloth position: See Hang in sloth position. Smack lip (SLP) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Lip smack: "Occurs during grooming. Mouth slightly opened and closed rhythmically. As the mouth is opened, there is a smacking sound when the tongue is drawn across the palate." Plooij's (1984) LIP. Similar behavior was recognized for the bonobo, but it is unknown whether it is homologous to SLP or not (Kano, 1998). Category 2 or 3. Smell: SeeSniff. Snatch (SNA) (Type C): Take forcibly an object such as food from another individual without consent. Adult males snatch food, meat in particular, from individuals of any age-sex class, mothers from immature offspring, and juvenile sons from mothers. In bonobos, SNA is mostly done by juveniles (Kano, 1998).Category 1. Sneer (SNR) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "The upper lip is retracted, sometimes on one side more than the other, to expose part of the upper teeth. In the wild the context is associated with fear of a human or a human associated situation. Only afew chimps sneer." At Mahale also only afew individuals sneer. Category 8. Sneeze (SNZ) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "Chimps sneeze in the same way as humans." Kano's (1998) for the bonobo. Category 1. Sneeze with stick (SNS) (Type A): Push stick into nostril to stimulate sneeze,which discharges a large amount of nasal mucus. Only one adult male showed this type of tool-use. See Nishida and Nakamura (1993). Category 8. Sniff(SFF) (Type A): Plooij's (1984)SFI. Goodall's (1989) Sniff. Put nose close to something in the environment, such as the ground, vegetation, tree trunk, fruit, food wadge , feces, urine and so on. apparently to obtain information on which chimpanzees were there or what kind of animal was there . Holding in the hand and sniffing a large hard-shelled fruits such as Saba florida and Voacanga lutescens is an important way to judge their ripeness. Chimpanzee often sniffs the ground after being left behind by companions, or sniffs the ground when arriving at a place where strange chimpanzees had been immediately before. In bonobos, sniffing is a predominantly juvenile behavior (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Sniff finger(SFI) (Type A): Plooij's (1984)SFI. Goodall (1989): "One finger , usually index finger, is carefully smelled after being used to investigate some object. The most usual context is during inspection of the genital area... of a female." Shown also by juvenile bonobos (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Sniff with tool (SFT) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Investigation probe: "A stick or twig is used by a chimp for touching some object..." Not observed among the bonobos of Wamba (Kano, 1998). Category 3-5. Snub (SNB) (Type C): Apparently deliberate refusal to look at a conspecific that is approaching closely to seek contact. At Mahale, an alpha male, Ntologi, did not look at the beta male, Nsaba even if Nsaba continuously followed Ntologi apparently seeking to groom him. Apparently a kind of intimidation signaling that the alpha male does not wish to interact with the beta. (Cf. Ignore). Category 7-8? Solicit copulation (SOC) (Type D): Courtship. Show gesture and posture directed to an estrousfemale by a male or vice versa that normally leads to copulation. Goodall (1989) includes only male behavior toward an estrous female. Goodall lists
Solicit play (SOP)(Type D): Invite another individual to play. Consists of
Mahale, 3-4 year old infants often engage in this pattern of self play when the whole group travels a long distance. See Figure 7e of Goodall (1968) for illustration. Absent in the bonobos of Wamba. Category 1?
Spar (SPA) (Type A): At the beginning of fight, both parties stand bipedally and flail one or both of their arms in hitting movement, with or without screaming. Usually do not really hit. Similar movement is shown during play. Bonobo juveniles hit each other during play (Kano, 1998). Category 2.
Spit seed (SPS) (Type A): Chimpanzees occasionally spit large seeds such as those of Garcinia huillensis and Voacanga lutescens at the spot where they are eating. Seen in bonobos. Category 1.

Stamp (STA) (Type B): Goodall (1989): "Forceful downward kick of one foot, or alternate feet... (with sole making contact)." She also states that as a component of charging displays that "The chimp stamps his feet one after the other as he runs along. One foot is often stamped harder than the other. Astanding chimp may stamp alternatefeet... A sitting chimp may stamp several times with one foot." VanHooff's
(1974) Stamp. See Figures 13a, and b of Nishida (1970) for the photograph of stamping on the buttress, and Figure 4 of Nishida (1994) for the photograph of stamping on the colobus skin. Bonobos stamp while running, but not while sitting (Kano, 1998). Category 2.
Stamp bipedal (STB) (Type A): Stamp one's sole on the ground, buttress, tree trunk, wall of house or another individual while upright. Component of charging displays.

Stamp other (STS)(Type A): Goodall (1989): "Stamping on a victim is a major component of within-species fighting, and can result in severe bruising and contusions." Seen in bonobos. Category 2.
Stamp quadrupedal (STQ) (Type A): Stamp on all fours on the ground, buttress, tree trunk, and wall of house or another individual. Component of charging displays and so on. Absent in bonobos? Category 3?
Stamp trot (STT)(Type A): van Hooff (1973): "The animal walks or trots along while stamping heavily with its hind feet on the ground. Often this is done in a rhythmical manner in that one foot is placed down gently and the other with force. The head is mostly kept rather low and tucked back between the shoulders which are pulled upwards. The head may make low amplitude vertical rocking movements•@ " Kano's (1998) Stamping run for the bonobo. Category 2.
Stand bipedal (SDB) (Type A): Plooij's (1984) STB. Stand upright. Stance assumed when watching a 174 Nishida T., Kano T., Goodall J., McGrew W.C., and Nakamura M. distant object or taking food from tall shrubs such as Ficus urceolaris. (cf. WAB). See Figure 4 of Nishida (1970) for photograph. Bipedal posture occurs in courtship, when mixed with other movement such as
Tag (TAG)(Type B): Play tag. Alternate chase and flee. See Nishida (1983a). Includes
Threat:"•@ a repertoire of gestures to elicit submissive behavior in the individual the gestures are directed toward... The repertoire includes
Throw (THO) (Type B):Plooij's (1984) THO. Goodall (1989): "Objects, such as stones , rocks, branches, sticks, handful of grass, and so on. may be thrown under arm or overarm..." Bonobos also throw , but underarm only (Kano, 1998). Category 1.
Throw at (THA) (Type B): Goodall (1989): "When an object is aimed at a specific objective..." Goodall also uses the term "aimed throwing". Adult males of Mahale sometimes throw with one arm a heavy stick or rock against the wall of a metal house to make a loud noise. Absent in bonobos (Kano, unpublished). See also Throw splash. Category 3-5?
Throw branch (THB)(Type A): Branch or stick is thrown in an upright posture with one arm . (1) Element of a charging display by both males andfemales, and (2) Courtship pattern to an estrousfemale by juvenile/older infant males. Older juvenile male once threw a stick as long as 1 m from a distance of 8 m while he was pant-grunting at an adult male. Bonobo throw branch forward at the end of the branch-dragging display (Kano, 1998). Category 2. Throw dry leaves (THD) (Type A): In the dry season, male chimpanzees of Mahale run , pick up a pile of dry leaves from the ground, and throw it with one hand at the climax of the charging display . Not used in courtship. Absent in bonobos of Wamba. Category 7.
Throw sand (THS) (Type A): Pattern of the male charging display. One adult male (Fanana) throws sand with one hand while running bipedally. Within the M group's range the ground is rarely covered with sand.
Category 8. Throw splash (THW) (Type A): Special case of Throw stone/rock. Fully adult male of M group lifts and throws a heavy rock into a stream (aimedthrowing), which produces loud splash that intimidates others
(see Nishida, 1993). Category 7. Throw stone/rock (TSR)(Type A): Element of the charging display. Not used the courtship. Bonobos of
Wamba throw only branches (Kano, 1998). See Throw splash. Category 3? Throw temper tantrum (TTT)(Type B): Goodall (1989): "The chimpanzee screams loudly , and may leap up, fling arms above his/her head and then slap them onto the ground or beat the ground with his hands . He may hold himself to the ground on his face, hug a tree, or himself. He may rush off , tumbling over and over, still screaming. The screaming often results in glottal cramps..." Typically occurs amonginfants during weaningconflict, when motherrejects sucking,food sharing, transport, grooming and soon., however, even adults sometimes show in response to rejection by dominant individuals . At Mahale, an extreme case was that of an infant hanging and swinging withfeet as if it were about tofall headfirst from high above the ground. By temper tantrums, an infant not only protests, but appears to monitor how much it can still garner the care of a rejecting mother (see Monitor mother). Similar behavior is seen among the bonobos (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Thrust (THU) (Type A): Plooij's (1984) THU. Goodall's (1989) Pelvic thrust: "Rhythmic back and forth movements of the pelvis... Occurs during copulationand...in reassurance mounting . Thrusting commonly occurs in play between infants." Two adult males embrace ventro-ventrally and bipedally in the context of reassurance or reconciliation, and one of the males may thrust against another. Adultfemale also occasionally mounts another female and shows a pelvic thrust. Bonobo males thrust like chimpanzees, but the female thrusts right and left in GG-rubbing (Kano, 1998). Category 1.
Thrust bipedal(TBI)(Type A): Stand upright on one's feet and thrust in non-mating context . Courtship shown by a few adult and adolescent males. Category 8.
Thump: See Rap. Tickle (TIC) (Type B): Plooij's (1984) TIC. Goodall (1989): "The chimp puts one or both hands on the body of the partner, usually between the neck and shoulder or in the groin, and makes tickling movements with the fingers." See Figure 7 of Nishida (1983a) for photograph. Bonobos may touch, push lightly , hold, or grasp an infant or a juvenile in social play, which may be equivalent to chimpanzee tickling (Kano,
1998). Category 1. Tickle with hand: See Tickle. Tickle with mouth: See Mouth. Ethogram of chimpanzees 177
Tip head (TPH)(Type A): Goodall's (1989) Head tip: "---a threatening gesture. Head is jerked very slightly backwards, at the same time chin is raised. The performer faces the individual being threatened and the gesture is usually accompanied by a cough bark and often an arm raise." Seen in the bonobo (Kano, 1998). Category 2. Tool use: See Use tool. Touch (TOU)(Type A): van Hooff's (1973) Touch. Plooji's (1984) TOU. Nishida's (1983a) Touch. Goodall (1989): "A chimpanzee reaches out with a hand (or occasionally foot) and touches another, with fingers (or toes), by laying the whole palmar surface of the hand on the other's body..." Touch signals reassurance to a subordinate from a dominant, and appeasement to a dominant from asubordinate . At Mahale, some estrous females approach and touch males on the shoulder, and so on, to solicit copulation. To touch the head of another is sometimes a signal to the groomee by the groomer to change posture. Parts frequently touched are mouth, chin, head, hand, shoulder, and genitals. The mouth was most often touched by an adult male (Kalunde) in order to appease the then alpha male (Fanana). See Figure 9 of Nishida (1970) for photograph, in which an adult male touches the mouth of a juvenile female and lets her bite his hand in order to reassure her. See also
Transport quadrupedal (TRQ) (Type B): Transport object with one hand, in mouth, neck pocket, on shoulder or on head, while walking on all fours. Category 2. Transport two offspring (TTO)(Type B): Mother simultaneously carries juvenile offspring on her back andinfant offspring on her belly, or rarely carries both of them on her back. More likely to occur in dangerous situations such as crossing a large river. Bonobo mothers seem to carry two offspring more often than the chimpanzee mother, because the birth interval is shorter (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Transport with hand support (TRH)(Type A): Goodall's (1989) Hand support. Mother supports infant's back with one hand. Aninfant newborn orenfeebled by wound/disease is typically carried in this way. Kano's (1998) Hand support for the bonobo. Category 1 or 2. Transport with thigh support (TRT) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Thigh support: "Method of supporting infant especially newborn, where the mother walks or runs with her thighs flexed, thus providing support for the infant's back. Usually the mother moves with rounded back and takes short steps." Kano's (1998) Thigh support for the bonobo. Category 2. Travel (TRV) (Type D): Goodall (1989): "Moving between A and B." Include
U Urinate (URN)(Type A): Category 1. Use tool (UST)(Type D): Extract an object from the outer environment and use it with certain purpose. Mahale chimpanzees' repertoire includes
V Ventral riding: See Ride ventral. Ventro-ventral embrace: See Embrace full. Vertical climb: See Climb vertical. Vertical leap: See Leap vertical. Visit (VST) (Type D): Temporary migration from one unit group to another. Adolescent and young nulliparous adult females may visit one of the neighboring groups when they are in estrus, and return to their natal group when their sexual skin shrinks. Reported from Gombe (Goodall, 1986) and Tai (Boesch and Boesch, 1999), in addition to Mahale (Nishida and others, 1990). Different from Transfer, which is permanent. Category 1-2. Ethogram of chimpanzees 179
Vomit (VOM)(Type A): Plooij's (1984) KOT. Category 1.W
Waa bark (WAA) (Type A): Goodall (1989): "Loud, sharp sound given in a variety of agonistic contexts. It is usually accompanied by an arm threat or more vigorous gestures." Category 3? Wade (WDE)(Type A): When crossing a river, chimpanzees avoid contact with water and use stepping stones if available. If not, they walk quadrupedal in the river so long as the river is shallow. Category 1-7? Wadge (WDG)(Type A): Goodall's (1989) Wadge: Extract juice by chewing and compressing sticky fruits, their seeds and skin with leaves, or meat with leaves "between the lower lip andteeth", or "between tongue and palate" . Honey, eggs and even semen may be wadged. After juice is extracted, the remaining inedible parts are spat out. Fruits frequently wadged at Mahale include Canthium crassum, Harungana madagascariensis, Parinari curatellifolia, Pseudospondiasmicrocarpa,Psychotria peduncularis, Syzigium guineense, Uapaca kirkiana and Uapaca nitida. Bonobos also wadge (Kano, 1998). Category 2. Wait (WIT)(Type D): Goodall (1989): "An individual sets off, then looks back at a companion. If the latter is not following, the first stops to wait..." Ntologi (the alpha male) often waited for other adult males to follow. Also at the ant-fishing and drinking sites which are limited in number. Bonobos wait in similar contexts (Kano, 1998). Category 1. Waiting posture: See Stand quadrupedal heel up. Walk bipedal (WAB)(Type A): Goodall's (1989) Bipedal walk. Plooij's (1984) WAB. Walk upright when chimpanzees have lots of food in the arms, walk on muddy terrain, or initiate a charging display. Susman and other's (1980) Bipedal walk for the bonobo. See Figure 2 of Goodall (1968) and de Waal (1995, p.64) for illustration or photograph. Category 1. Walk quadrupedal palmigrade (WQP)(Type A): Quadrupedal walk with open palm on the slender horizontal branch. Susman and others' (1980) Palmigrade quadrupedalism. Category 2. Walk quadrupedal with knuckle (WQK)(Type A): Goodall's (1989) Knuckle walking, Plooij's (1984) WAQ. Quadrupedal walk with knuckles on the ground or large horizontal bough. See Figure 6 of Nishida (1994). Kano's (1998) Walk. Category 2. Walk tripedal (WQT)(Type A): Walk with object in one hand. Category 2. Wash (WAS)(Type B): Seen only as "Wash the colobus skin" below. Wash means the whole process of
Y Yawn (YAW) (Type A): Goodall's (1989) Yawning. Plooij's (1984) YAW . Kano's (1998) Yawn for the bonobo. Category 1.
Behavior Patterns Listed in Goodall (1989), But Not Seen at Mahale Eat vomit (EAV): Goodall's (1989) Reingest vomit: "A sick chimp may vomit into one hand, then eat the vomit". Not recorded for the bonobos at Wamba (Kano , 1998). Elbow clamp (ECL): Goodall (1989): "When small infant pesters mother for food, she may clamp it to her breast with both elbows and continue her meal over its head." Pinch (PIN): Goodall's (1989) Pinch. Not recorded for the bonobo (Kano, 1998). Throw fruit at (THF): The chimpanzee of Gombe throw a hard-shelled fruit against a rock or the trunk of a tree to crack it open (McGrew and others, 1999). This was termed Bang (BAN) by Plooij (1984).
