In Most of the chimpanzee’s communities, Female chimpanzees can easily migrate to other communities without any problem. It is very easy for them especially when they are on estrus because for the chimpanzees when a female is in estrus it’s only the alpha male who has the first privilege of mating with her, So that means if she is an immigrant to another community and she is in estrus she will be well protected by him from those jealousy female.
In the M-community we have several females who have migrated from other communities, Omo, Vera and Ua are recently immigrant females. Among these females one of them was noticed as pregnant for a long time. She was seen within the group, but on the first week of December one of these immigrant females who is pregnant was not seen with other chimpanzees.
On the 13th December, She was seen again accompanied by the alpha male (Pimu), No2 (Alofu) and the king maker or Prime Minister Kalunde. She had a new baby with her. Vera one of the immigrant females has brought a new baby to the chimpanzees of M-community. She was sitting next to the big males for her baby`s security because no other males will be able to do any charging displays in front of the big males especially in front of the alpha male. She was holding her baby with her hands, also attach the baby on her belly, she was very protective as if a human being is holding an egg. We didn’t even have a chance to take photos of the baby and even tell the sex; however we got few chances of seeing the face
