Panthera camera trap footage from Gabon’s Batéké Plateau National Park captured video of a curious Endangered female chimpanzee using a stick to investigate a remote camera. This capture marks a significant milestone in the ongoing wild cat conservation partnership between Gabon’s National Park Agency (ANPN), Panthera, and Gaboma Multimedia and Productions to document these activities and future lion reintroductions in the landscape.
The footage was covered by Agence France-Presse, The Dodo, Nice News, McClatchy, The Cool Down, Outdoors with Bear Grylls, Barron’s, and Gulf News. The video was also reposted by Stick Nation, the viral Instagram account known for its user-submitted reviews of sticks found around the world.
