Uganda Chimpanzees Medicinal Plants – Several way – open wounds and other injuries were observed to treat.
Oxford scientists working with a local team in the Budongo forest, both themselves and sometimes in the form of animals for their first aid to the first aid, and noted the events of animals.
Their research builds over the purse last year that Chimps eats and eats certain plants for self-medications.
Scientists also compile decades of decades to create a catalog of various ways using Chimpanzees’s first aid.
Researchers say research published in the magazine Borders in ecology and evolutionIt adds an argument that uses natural medications in a number of natural medications, including chimps, orangutan and gorillas, including.
The lead researcher Elodie Frereman said, “When the wild is sick or injured in a wild, or a behavioral repertoire used to protect hygiene, or a behavior used to protect hygiene.”
“Some of them include the use of plants that can be found here,” he said. “Shimpanzees hits them on the wounds or chews the crops, then the chewing outfit applies to an open injury.”
Researchers learned very young, female chimpanzee-chewing plant material and mother’s body.
They also found Shimpanzee records that tend to wounds of other animals that are not related to them. This is especially exciting, explained by Dr. Freramn, “because the wild chimpanzees are added to the evidence that the ability to emphasize.”
Hundreds of writing observations studied by Dr. Freramn and colleagues came from an entrance book at the area station in the north-west of the capital Kampala.
These records of anecdotal arguments belong to the 1990s – local field workers, researchers and guests wrote by describing any interesting behavior.
In the leaf-dabbing book, there are stories in the book of leaves and Ximps that help other chimps, help to delete artificial pieces in other Chimps.
There are a hygiene habits similar to surprising people: a note, describes a chimpanzege using leaves to delete himself after defemating.
The group of these researchers previously identified some plants where the ladies were injured and injured. Scientists took the examples of those plants, tested them and found the most antibacterial properties.
ChimPanZees are not the only human monkeys with clear knowledge of plant-based medications. A recent study showed a wild orangatan using the chewed leaf material to heal the face.
Scientists think about learning this wild monkey behavior and learn more about the plants using Ximps when sick or injured – can help in search of new medications.
“If we learn how much about Chimpanzee’s behavior and intelligence, the more I think that we understand that we are really as little as we know the world,” said Dr. Frerant BBC said.
“If I was in this forest in this forest, I would not be able to live very long, especially injured or sick.”
“However, Chimpanzees know how to find out how to access the secrets of this place, and how to find the secrets of this place.”
