本文报道了几内亚博苏一只野生幼年黑猩猩死亡的案例。发现一具6.5岁男性的尸体，尸检表明他死于某种非流行性疾病或中毒。骨骼的形态测量显示，黑猩猩比圈养的相应个体小得多。这只黑猩猩的牙齿配方与圈养的5至5.5岁儿童的牙齿配方一致。这只黑猩猩的死亡表明，在博苏失踪的一些黑猩猩是自然死亡的。
The present paper gives a case report on the death of a wild young chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus) at Bossou, Guinea. The corpse of a 6.5-year-old male was found, and an autopsy suggested that he had died from some non-epidemic disease or from poisoning. Morphological measurements of the skeleton revealed that the chimpanzee was much smaller than corresponding individuals in captivity. The dental formula of the chimpanzee coincided with those of 5- to 5.5-year-olds in captivity. The death of this chimpanzee suggests that some of the individuals who had disappeared at Bossou had died of natural causes.
