2017 has been a wonderful year with many achievements thanks to you. We finished Aged Violet and Restless Star classifications and chimp matching. We now have a great chimp matching tutorial video [youtube]. We learned a lot about elephants here on the blog and now also with a dedicated Elephant discussion board. The selfie project on chimpanzee camera reactions is still running and we started to identify individual leopards.

Currently a new East African site Green Snowflake is running with many great chimp footage and we will open new sites in the near future. Check it out and get involved at Chimp&See!

Vote for the "Best of 2017"

In December, we asked you to nominate your favorite videos on Chimp&See in 2017 in the categories of Favorite Chimp, Funniest Video, Best Camera Reaction, Creepiest Video, and Biggest Surprise.



It was challenging, but fun, and now it's time to vote for the overall favorites! We set up a survey so you can view all the clips and send us your votes. It's a great chance to look back over the fascinating and entertaining clips from the last year and share your thoughts on the best of the best. As you view each video, you have the opportunity to give it a score of 1 (don't like it that much) to 5 (awesome!).

Voting ends on Sunday, January 14th, after which we'll tally the scores to find the winners for each category. The survey is open to anyone (one entry per computer), so feel free to share this with your family and friends so they can join in the fun and add their votes, as well!

If you have any problems or questions, please let us know. Enjoy, have fun, and may the best clips win!
