The bulletin of the Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University, 55(55) 52-60, Dec 1, 2006Close to half of all captive chimpanzees refuse to care for their infants.The exact causes for the refusal are not yet known. Bard suggests that early experiences in baby-sitting could help chimpanzees learn how to handle infants when they have their own offspring. Kyoto University uses various approaches to teach chimpanzees infant care skills prior to infant birth. In the wild, females transfer from natal groups, making longitudinal observation difficult. In captivity, this is not always the case, allowing us to observe both mothers and their grow-up daughters caring for infants. This observation will shed light on how maternal behavior is transmitted to the next generation. The maternal behavior of two experienced mothers, Pine and Peko, and one young adult daughter (Pine's daughter Cherry) in a captive social group of chimpanzees are compared. All three were kept at the same institution while raising their infants, allowing us to observe both the mother's and the daughter's maternal behavior in the same environment. The maternal behavior of two experienced mothers differed. Peko was relaxed, spending much time with other chimpanzees. She also played with the infant. Pine was nervous and tried to keep a distance from the others. Even though she would remain very close to her infant, she was not very responsive to it. Cherry had opportunities to observe other chimpanzees raising infants and to baby-sit her younger sister. With her own infant, she was relaxed and spent much time among other chimpanzees, as Peko did, but was not very responsive to the infant-like her mother. Cherry's case may be idiosyncratic, but the accumulation of such data would be useful in better understanding chimpanzees' maternal behavior development and in assisting the management of captive chimpanzee social groups.

The bulletin of the Nippon Veterinary and Zootechnical College, 52(52) 11-17, Dec 1, 2003The degree of mother-infant contact in chimpanzees is examined and compared with the later exploratory behavior of the infants. Two pairs of chimpanzees at Tama Zoo, Tokyo,Japan are video-taped at 1,3,10 and 18 months, and the duration of close contact (mostly ventral-ventral), or contact with other parts of the body, or no contact, is timed. The exploratory behavior of the infant, as well as the mother's or sister's retrieving behavior, is also examined. Although one mother maintained close contact between herself and her baby in the first two months, the other mother encouraged the infant to interact and exercise. At 18 months, the range of exploratory behavior differed. The first child remained close to its mother or elder sister, and exhibited little exploratory behavior. Even when the child tried to explore, the elder sister kept retrieving it. The other child interacted with adults and children in the group, and played with many toys and tools available. The mother stayed close to the second child but did not prevent it from exploring. Both infants have an elder sister at the same zoo, and they also exhibit similar differences in exploration and other social behavior. Individual differences in chimpanzee cognition have been often pointed out, both in wild and in captive animals. Parenting style may be one of the factors in creating these differences, apart from innate ones.
