“…Of the other great apes, this kind of interspecies non-mutual play has also been reported in bonobos ( Pan paniscus ). A recently published anecdote reported a non-lethal interaction between a bonobo and a duiker at Wamba (Yokoyama 2021 ) . In this event, an adult female bonobo was seen carrying a living duiker around for 30 min without injuring it.…”

“…In one case, also reported from the site, a young colobus monkey ( Colobus badius ) followed a group of bonobos for 18 consecutive days (Ihobe 1997 ). Bonobos are also the only other great apes who have been observed interspecies grooming with sympatric primates (i.e., Ihobe 1990 , 1997 ; Sabater Pi et al 1993 ; Yokoyama 2021 ). Bonobos from the Lilungu region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) engaged in affiliative and social activity with captured young colobus monkeys ( Colobus angolensis ) and red-tailed monkeys ( Cercopithecus ascanius ; Sabater Pi et al 1993 ).…”

While cases of interspecies grooming have been reported in primates, no comprehensive cross-site review has been published about this behavior in great apes. Only a few recorded observations of interspecies grooming events between chimpanzees and other primate species have been reported in the wild, all of which have thus far been in Uganda. Here, we review all interspecies grooming events recorded for the Sonso community chimpanzees in Budongo Forest Reserve, Uganda, adding five new observations to the single, previously reported event from this community. A new case of interspecies play involving three juvenile male chimpanzees and a red-tailed monkey is also detailed. All events took place between 1993 and 2021. In all of the six interspecific grooming events from Budongo, the ‘groomer’ was a female chimpanzee between the ages of 4–6 years, and the ‘recipient’ was a member of the genus Cercopithecus. In five of these events, chimpanzee groomers played with the tail of their interspecific grooming partners, and except for one case, initiated the interaction. In three cases, chimpanzee groomers smelled their fingers after touching distinct parts of the receiver’s body. While a single function of chimpanzee interspecies grooming remains difficult to determine from these results, our review outlines and assesses some hypotheses for the general function of this behavior, as well as some of the costs and benefits for both the chimpanzee groomers and their sympatric interspecific receivers. As allogrooming is a universal behavior in chimpanzees, investigating the ultimate and proximate drivers of chimpanzee interspecies grooming may reveal further functions of allogrooming in our closest living relatives, and help us to better understand how chimpanzees distinguish between affiliative and agonistic species and contexts.
