Male common chimps and bonobos sometimes display a penile erection: invitation to mate. A period of heightened sexual activity and receptivity exhibited by female mammals, usually around the time of ovulation (discharge of an ovum (egg) from the ovary) Period of time during, immediately preceding, and immediately following ovulation. Anthropoid females can mate and show estrus behavior outside of pop. In anthropoids, mating is freed from hormonal control. In prosimians, reproduction is strongly controlled by hormones. Non-conceptive mating: female anthropoids can mate. Sexual swellings of old world monkeys and apes. Estrogen-dependent swelling of skin around the vaginal area during the pop. Found in: common chimps and bonobo, macaques, baboons. Other species might have some minor peri-vaginal pinkening or none at all.
