Abstract

80 15-min tests using toys were carried out with 4 juvenile chimpanzees who, to obtain the toys, used 4 strategies: (1) taking by force, (2) snatching and fleeing, (3) begging, (4) hysterics. Sharing toys was a normal strategy of high-ranking animals. Begging and hysterics were mainly used in contacts with the latters. A strong negative correlation was found between hysterics and friendly behaviour.
