Welcome to Mathematical Treefort!

Dear Chimp&See friends and family,

We are so happy to say that with all your help we were able to finish the massive Florid Postern site! With almost 130,000 video clips viewed and annotated! Thank you! The trottersID workflow is also completed and monkeysee is about 80% complete. We will keep that open for the weeks to come.

But in the meantime, we have opened a new site Welcome to Mathematical Treefort we are back to central Africa and we are deep in chimp AND gorilla territory! The chimps here are known to use tools for termite fishing so look out for tool use. There is also a low density of elephants at this site and it is a known primate hotspot, keep your eyes peeled for drills, mandrills and white-collared mangabeys!

If you want a break from species annotation we are still working on the last of chimp matching from Florid Postern and our Green Snowflake unique chimps mini-project is humming along in the Talk pages. We won’t start chimp matching yet at the new site, but feel free to comment under any interesting videos you find. You can use the #dailyzoo tag for any videos you love, to flag it for others to watch.

Thanks for being with us at Chimp&See and if you haven’t visited in a while, come back and have a peak at the new site!

Cheers, Mimi and the Chimp&See team
