Chimpanzees are so intelligent.

Chimpanzees are NOT monkeys.

They belong to the ape family, which
also includes gorillas, orang-utans and
even people!
They use tools to catch food.
Chimps groom each other. This is one
way to show friendship. They comb
and pull dirt and bugs out of each
other’s fur.
 Chimpanzee mothers carry their
babies on their back for 4 years or
more. They remain close their whole
lives.
They use sticks to find termites and
rocks to crack open nuts.
Chimpanzees communicate with
each other by panting, barking or
drumming.
Boy chimpanzees stay in one group
their whole lives. Females join a
new group when they grow up.
Sometimes male chimpanzees fight
with each other.
Chimpanzees eat fruit and plants, but
they also hunt.
They eat lizards, frogs and even
small monkeys.
Chimps are endangered. People cut
down trees in their habitat. The
chimps have no place to go.
