Food manipulation and processing in wild western gorillas of Central African Republic: implications for studying behavioural variability by Shelly Masi, Ellen JM Meulman, Françoise Aubaile, Sabrina Krief, Angelique Todd, Emanuelle Pouydebat

“…Frame by frame video analysis (31 hours; 10 months during 2008–2009) of a habituated group (Number of individuals = 13) of western gorillas at Bai Hokou, Central African Republic, was used to investigate, food-manipulation strategies for different food types (e.g. leaves, stems, fruits), for the first time in this species. Results indicate that food features (e.g. size, shape, extraction requirements) affect individual food-manipulation strategies (e.g. number of fingers involved, hand preference, use of mouth), as well as the requirement of various functional strategies (e.g. grip types, postural sequences, repositioning behavior) during unimanual and bimanual processing. …”
