TITLE: Totti

*Eastern chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) - Kibale Forest Nationalpark, Uganda, Africa
I attended in June 2015 the Chimpanzee Habituation Experience, that allowed me to accompany the Kibale Forest Research and Habituation Team watching a Group of chimpanzee during their daily activities. This chimpanzee was called "Totti". He was the alpha male chimpanzee of the group and got his name from an italian football player. The chimpanzee was first sitting and then lying down on the half wet ground surrounded by bushes, leaves and fern....he was dreaming away.
