Mother Chimp and Daughter Share a Special Sign

Jan 23, 2025 | virginislandsdailynews.com | Brandon Keim

Parents and their children, or people who know each other well, often share some expression that is unique to them — a phrase or gesture that began by happenstance but gradually acquired a meaning that only they know. The same is true of Beryl, a chimpanzee living in Kibale National Park, in Uganda, and her young daughter, Lindsay. When Lindsay wants to climb on her mother’s back and travel, she puts one hand over Beryl’s eye — a gesture that no other chimpanzee is known to make.

All Living Creatures: Do Animals Deserve Political Rights and Representation?

Jul 22, 2024 | lithub.com | Brandon Keim

Several years ago I traveled to Toronto, Ontario, for a conservation biology conference. The city sits on the edge of Lake Ontario, and one evening I wandered down to Leslie Street Spit, a three-mile-long peninsula formed from construction debris dumped there during the last century.
