The study in 20 captive chimpanzees living at the Kumamoto Sanctuary in Japan shows that, when one chimp pees, others are more likely to follow. A new study reported in the Cell Press journal ...

They found that when one chimpanzee in the group peed, others were more likely to follow. The researchers recorded the number of urinations that occurred within 60 seconds of one another ...

A study published January 20 in the journal Current Biology finds that when one chimpanzee urinates, the others in a group are more likely to follow. The phenomenon is called “contagious ...

Over 600 hours of observation and 1,300 documented urination events revealed a pattern: if one chimpanzee urinated, others nearby were more likely to do the same. The closer they were physically ...
