Introduction
Chimpanzee research at the Living Links Center is conducted at the Yerkes Field Station, which is home to two socially housed chimpanzee groups known as FS1 (left) and FS2 (right). Each mixed gender group of 12 individuals lives in a large outdoor enclosure with wooden climbing structures and play objects attached to an indoor sleeping area. FS1 and FS2 can hear, but not see each other because their enclosures are ~200m apart and separated by a small hill. Chimpanzee research is conducted on a volunteer basis with members of each group.
