This footage was filmed around noon in October 2023 at Higashiyama Zoo & Botanical Gardens in Japan. The troop is relaxing in their outside enclosure. Kazumi and her daughters are taking a nap on a deck. Riki and Charley are resting on an upper deck of the tower. Ryu approaches them, and Koe reacts. She goes to sit down with Ryu and Ryu starts grooming her. It lasts quite a while. It fascinated me to see an alpha male grooming his offspring. A silverback gorilla hardly grooms his offspring. Kalan is checking on her sister and dad downstairs. Koe starts grooming Ryu's back. But she soon gets bored. Kalan stands up and throws a rope to scare the crows. Kalan starts grooming her mom. Koe shows her face to Ryu, and Ryu starts cleaning her eyes. Ryu then lays down and asks Koe to groom his butt. Koe does not seem to be interested in doing that. Riki and Charley are relaxing together. Koe holds a few sticks of burdock roots, and Yotsuba is asking to give some to her. The girls are eating burdock roots on a H-beam. Yotsuba moves toward Kazumi, and lays down on a beam. Kazumi is cleaning her fingers. Kalan tries to snatch the root from Koe, and Koe successfully dodges her sister's mischief. Yotsuba and Kalan start playing. The girls play in another tower. Kalan bangs the transparent panel with her feet, and Koe joins her or tries to stop her. Koe fell to the ground without injury. The physical ability of chimpanzees is amazing. Ryu drinks water from a ditch, and Koe follows. Ryu pulls Koe's leg. Koe fells. Kalan is holding Yotsuba. Yotsuba escapes from her. Koe stretches out her arm to Yotsuba.
NB: All thought bubbles are my imagination.

Chimpanzee

Chimpanzees are patriarchal with a single alpha male leading the multi-male/multi-female group.
