在坦桑尼亚马哈勒山国家公园，一只黑猩猩妈妈搬到了邻近的一个单位群，把她 5 岁的儿子留在了原来的单位。母亲在新组中呆了十个月，然后在怀孕后回到原来的组。母子再次团聚，但两个月后儿子因病去世。母亲在原来的群体中生下了一个婴儿，但在婴儿消失后最终转移到了邻近的群体。这是首次记录幼年黑猩猩被其移民母亲遗弃的情况，尽管大猩猩和哈努曼叶猴也有类似的现象。被遗弃的后代跟随单位群体中的成年雄性，而雄性是对后代负有最大照顾的个体。母亲遗弃后，后代花在梳理他人身上的时间增加了，被梳理的时间减少了，对自己的攻击性增加了。这份报告将促使人们重新考虑之前黑猩猩中全能的母子关系的概念。
In the Mahale Mountains National Park, Tanzania, a chimpanzee mother moved to a neighboring unit-group leaving her 5-year-old son behind in the original group. The mother remained in the new group for ten months and then after conceiving, returned to the original group. The mother and son were reunited again but the son died of illness two months later. The mother gave birth to a baby in the original group but eventually transferred to the neighboring group after that baby disappeared. This is the first record of an immature chimpanzee abandoned by its emigrating mother, although a similar phenomenon has been reported for gorillas and Hanuman langurs. The abandoned offspring followed an adult male of the unit-group and the male was the individual who have most of the care to the offspring. The offspring''s time spent on grooming others increased, the time spent on being groomed decreased and the rate of aggression toward him increased after his mother''s desertion. This report will occasion to reconsider the previous notion of all-powerful mother-offspring bond in chimpanzees.
