- A new chimpanzee is born at the zoo - but will the newborn cause trouble amongst the dominant female chimps? Keepers are concerned...
The chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), also known simply as chimp, is a species of great ape native to the forest and savannah of tropical Africa. It has four confirmed subspecies and a fifth proposed subspecies. The chimpanzee and the closely related bonobo are classified in the genus Pan. Evidence from fossils and DNA sequencing shows that Pan is a sister taxon to the human lineage and is humans' closest living relative. The chimpanzee is covered in coarse black hair, but has a bare face, fingers, toes, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. It is larger and more robust than the bonobo, weighing 40-70 kg (88-154 lb) for males and 27-50 kg (60-110 lb) for females and standing 120 to 150 cm (3 ft 11 in to 4 ft 11 in).
From The Secret Life of the Zoo: This series gives viewers behind the scenes access to Chester Zoo's 21,000 animals and the people who work there. The zoo's keepers are interviewed in each episode about the various animals and incidents, whether it's orangutans escaping their enclosure or tigers getting into scraps.

The teenager doesn't get what they want starts an argument within the family and while the family is distracted they sneak off and get what they wanted in the first place. Why does this sound so familiar?🤔🤔😐
I love their yelling and shouting when they get excited.
It`s so darn funny.
I love seeing mamas and their babies! They're so gentle, loving, and protective of their babies ❤ It's just amazing and beautiful to witness 🥹
Couldn't the Zoo have managed this a bit better to cause her and baby less stress.
They look too crowded, no wonder they're fighting...
No, it’s politics and lack of babies and “being spoiled.” It couldn’t POSSIBLY be poor quality care in a inadequate confined space
They fight in the wild, chimpanzees are not peace-loving creatures.
Touché
Congratulations on the long awaited newest addition 💙🦍
Wow!
Well I hope things go well!
Steveie is so cute!
Their behavior is like a Human Being especially the jealousy part when they deliberately destroy your valuable things.
OMG one baby in a group that has not had one is years is the most ridiculous decision to make. They should have allowed a few females to give birth. To use the baby to settle the group is ludicrous. They have caused so much stress for the mother and danger for the baby.
“Allowed?” You heard him say that the ban on having babies has been lifted and all the females that can reproduce had their birth control stopped. Only one female got pregnant, it’s nature’s decision too, right?
I think that THEY probably know a LOT more than YOU do, about what that troop needs, and can handle. Considering that THEY work with them every single day, and YOU have seen a few hours, at the MOST, of a highly edited TV show. They know each of those chimps individually. And maybe they tried to have more babies, and only Zizi's pregnancy lasted to full term. Maybe there were other pregnant chimps in the troop, but they aren't showing yet. All the viewers know is what we are shown. I'm sure that there have been more babies, born to this troop, since this program was first aired.
Should have just ordered them not to fk.
The chimps are part of an international captive breeding program and that is the organisation which decides which individuals should be allowed to breed and which ones contracepted, to maintain genetic diversity and minimise inbreeding. Chester's chimps are a mixture of the Western subspecies, Pan trogolodytes verus, and individuals of mixed subspecies origin. As a general rule of thumb the breeding program recommends the breeding of verus individuals and discourages the deliberate breeding of subspecies crosses. ZeeZee is, I assume, verus and I would guess the non verus females, (and males),would be on contracepti on.
Also, assuming that the Alpha Male of the troop is the father, which is a safe bet, no one would be willing to risk harming his child, because he would very likely kill them if they did.
And now Zeezee has a new baby, little Jeff 🥰💙
Who's Jeff? The baby is Stevie. Did I miss something? lol
@@shellos8 Zeezee gave birth to a baby boy called Jeff in January 😊
chimpanzees are most like humans that s why you see all the conflict
They are so smart. Poor things never will see freedom and it's so sad.
What was the "research project" 🤔 that caused no conceiving, as you've said in the video???? Sounds not good, no offense! Great video 📹 as usual!
Pretty sure that for legal reasons they had to use birth control on chimpanzees
Tina needs a timeout
😅😅
This just kills me! So human!😱😹🇨🇦
Awwww. Congratulations, Zeezee. Your little son is beautiful.
God I hate those creatures.
@@jaimiesalid3141Then why are you wasting your time watching them? Nothing better to do?
Morbid curiosity
Picking his nose and eating it,classy.
Just the comment I was looking for 😆
Humans do worst
All humans do it too when they think no-one's looking, be honest.
These keepers seems clueless im sorry but they do
I agree, too many chimps in a small space with unfavorable dynamics
I agree as well. So many sores on them. Too many in the enclosure.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love all these babies and their family love!!
They don’t seem to have enough land to travel and stay busy.
I saw this video sometime back... NOT Aug. 10, 2022, a lot farther back than that.
Do chimps get meat in their diet in zoos and sanctuaries? They do hunt and eat monkeys in the wild. Or is more peanut butter, eggs, beans and the like instead? Does anyone know?
damn, they have 2 babies?
Alice also has a new baby
Yeah she's done had another one since Stevie now she's got another baby now and his name is Jeff
Da piccolini sono così teneri da grandi sono molto aggressivi tra loro
Jane Goodall is smiling down!!
Smiling down from what, her hotel room? You do realize that she’s still alive right?
Jane Goodall os smiling across, she's very much alive.
Why was the group not allowed reproduce for 9 years?
Love the video cut the keepers specially the man withe the hat.
What’s wrong with their bottoms?
Female chimps' genitalia swell when in "season" as well as during and after birth. Nothing is wrong. Notice that the male chimps have extremely large testicles. Nature comes in many shapes and forms.
If you’re referring to 0:45 for example, it’s a female in heat or ready to mate.
Date la traduzione italiana
So remove the spoiled tree rat.
🙏
How did the baby die ? 😳
The baby didn’t die
Stevie is a major problem for that group. Her jealousy a d spoiled mature is dangerous.
You mean Tina’s spoiled nature is dangerous? Stevie is the infant.
Poor baby!
I like how in this video they left the baby and mom be. Mom knows what she’s doing. I say let Pattie have a baby too.
Bisticciano di brutto come mai ?
0:45 is that cancer on the monkey's ass? wtf is that?
its female in heat
Zoos are cruel
Too much human not enough monkey
0:36-0:37 Yummy! Yummy! 😋
No big deal..lots of them running around calif. WA. And Oregon now !
Stop projecting.
These are bonobos
No they are not! Bonobos don’t act like these asshole chimps. Bonobos are sweet, loving, and kind natured. They aren’t greedy, violent, scandalous, murderous, or selfish with one another. Food is shared amongst the group evenly and they’re complete pacifists. The females are the dominant sex and fights are avoided with sex, the entire group live quite harmoniously. Bonobos are the polar opposite of chimpanzees.
No, they are not.
chimpanzees are the only breed of monkey that I really don't like They are too aggressive, and they yell all the time
Well, take comfort that chimpanzees aren't monkeys then.
They’re not monkeys. They are considered apes.
It surprises me that one of the keepers would describe Tina as a spoiled brat. That’s something that I would have said!
This is an old clip, you already posted about Stevie's birth prior to this. How do I know? I know that that baby chimp will then get 'kidnapped' by one of the other females and then later returned to her mother. I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't have watched this before. You are now just repeating content just to keep your channel alive.
Ok then we need recent update in 2022
People love to repost things that's already been posted welcome to the internet more repeats then the tv 😆
Don't watch then
I haven’t seen it before and I’m sure I’m not unique ( but you do have a valid point ) on the other hand it’s free for us to watch, so I guess
we just have to take rough with the smooth.
Detective DG is on the case... lol...
We need to understand that being at the top of the pyramid of creation means that everything we do trickles down the structure, from top to bottom. When it reaches the bottom, the inanimate level of reality, from which everything grows, it changes it. If we ooze ill-will, it creates negative changes throughout the system, which manifest in increasingly extreme climatic and geological events.
In other words, when human relationships go out of balance, everything goes out of balance. When our relations become extreme, everything becomes extreme; when we become violent, everything becomes violent. Each summer, the ramifications of the linkage between our relations and our world become more extreme, until we acknowledge that everything that exists, exists in a connected, hierarchical system and that whoever is at the top determines the state of the rest of the system.
It is not as if previously, we were better people than we are today. It is simply that there were fewer people, and therefore fewer elements that exude ill will.
Also, relationships between people in the past were less toxic than they are today. While there are fewer wars today than ever, the levels of suspicion and alienation between people are skyrocketing, to the point where people can no longer trust their own family members. As a result, wars between countries are rarer than ever, but divorce rates, domestic violence, and violence in the community, are at an all-time high.
Even the internet, which we invented purportedly in order to connect people, is being used to abuse, deceive, and exploit people. The world-wide-web proves that everything we create, we use against others. When there is such a negative element in a system, and that element is at the top of the system, how can the entire system not go awry?
Therefore, if we want the weather to cool, the sea-level to drop, and the storms to subside, we must cool the fire and calm the storms between us. Mutual concern, mutual responsibility, or at least the knowledge that we are dependent on each other, are necessary in order to restore balance in our world at all levels, from the ground we walk on to the hatred in our hearts .
Stevie will always be special to that group 🦧🙏🙏🙏
Love zeezee-tina, stevie and baby jeff. I wish Niall could do a whole day documentary on the chimps there. He is so entertaining and has a great voice. I would love to have the whole series of their show that ran in the Uk for 8 seasons so I could see the whole show and not just clips. I know they sell season 1 and 5 but they are too expensive for me, plus I am really interested in the primates mostly. I am homebound and could be entertained all day with those.
Oh dear. There may need to be a infant/ baby bonding nursery added to the exhibit for peaceful getaways to insure ZZ can cope successfully
Apparently things worked out pretty well for this mom and baby. Separating a chimp from its troop is only a last-resort measure for zoos, as it causes the whole troop extreme anxiety and stress for one or more of its members to suddenly disappear. They don't understand why and their wild instincts likely tell them the worst has happened and a predator or rival group has killed the missing chimp; as intelligent as they are they likely don't fully understand that they are safe from such things in their environment. So their tendency is to go on high alert because they think they're now all vulnerable. I've seen a video of chimps at another zoo having a mass meltdown after one of their elderly female members fell very ill and had to be taken away and then died; it's heartbreaking.
She would be even more stressed out isolated. They should have as much room as possible, but their troop shouldn’t be fragmented in any way. Their bonds to one another are extremely important.
@@DustyHoney Yes. One of the things that has enabled zoos to improve their care of social animals is the use of contraceptives. They now give sexually mature female chimps, bonobos, and gorillas basically the same kinds of hormonal contraceptive implants or injections that humans use, if they don't want them to get pregnant. That way they can continue to live in a natural social group rather than being isolated or separated from males. It also keeps animals that are too young or too closely-related from breeding. It's very common for captive lionesses to be given contraceptives now, for the same reason, as living in a pride with a male because is more natural for them, but zoos can't afford to have them all breeding all the time.
In the wild wouldn't some of those males leave the group to make/join another group? I'm just assuming there is an alpha male or a matriarch controlling the group. How exactly does that work in a zoo setting?
Zoos with chimps have various protocols to ensure their groups don't get too large or have too much conflict; sometimes they might break up a large group into two or three smaller ones with separate habitats. And they try to ensure fertile animals don't breed with siblings, parents, or offspring, by putting related animals on contraceptives or separating them. The same is done with gorillas.
The other commenter explained a number of ways an individual zoo might do it, but they also may distribute animals to other zoos if their own population grows too much. As it'd be unethical to pay for wild animals to be captured (and usually lethal to the parents of infant wild animals), they bring in animals from other zoos instead, so if a group grows too large they may move some of the males off that way in the same way they would in the wild
Chimpanzees are sometimes hostile
I wish their bottoms were censored. It's like looking at an open wound. It makes me cringe.
Yes, they are absolutely disgusting!
'love how the chimpanzee picked it's nose and ate it
All I will say, is don’t let the other chimps hurt the innocent 5:10
Worst life ever, being born in a prison
It’s a lot better for the chimpanzees than being born in the wild. At least not at present. They’re critically endangered for a reason and that reason hasn’t gone away.
@@StoneInMySandal born in a cage is fun? Are you on acid?
Better than being eaten.
Why was there no pregnancies again?
That sort of a study that they were doing. The implication was that the females could not be pregnant while they were doing it
@@LindaC616 I can understand a study for a little bit, maybe even a year, but for that many years?! That’s a really long time for a troop to go without a baby. Especially with that many females. And someone else posted that having only one female give birth instead of a few, that’s really putting a lot of stress on that one mom and baby. This is my first time watching this particular channel and zoo and I’m not impressed by it or the keepers. I’m not one to put negative comments up, but I feel strongly about this and it makes me sad. I hope someone comes in with a clue and can fix that system before they lose a few chimps.
@@kimmieh8419 We can't know their reasons. It might have been a social or behavioral study. It might have been a question of a dominant male getting older and being close to his way out and they didn't want the new dominant male to kill the offspring. Who knows? I agree that it seems cruel but I also don't know all of the facts behind the situation
ZZ Top? Tina Turner??
Patti(e) Smith? haha I'm probably way off.
Bob Dylan, Carlos Santana & I assume the latest arrival is named after Jeff Beck 😊
ZeeZee IS pretty! Her Tina is the typical rotten teenage girl. Tina is why I had few girl-friends as a teenager! haha
