Chimpanzees have a complex social structure. They live in groups of 20–100 individuals, have a clear hierarchy, and often form “ political ” alliances among the males. Photo: Pinterest.
They are capable of expressing emotions like humans. Chimpanzees can laugh, get angry, be jealous, or comfort their fellow chimpanzees when they are sad. Photo: Pinterest.
Chimpanzees are capable of learning sign language. Some trained individuals can use more than 300 signs to communicate with humans. Photo: Pinterest. They exhibit collective hunting behavior. The males coordinate to hunt colobus monkeys – demonstrating planning and sharing of benefits similar to ancient humans. Photo: Pinterest. Chimpanzees are known for making weapons. Some populations in West Africa have been recorded sharpening branches to use as small spears for hunting prey. Photo: Pinterest.
They have rituals to honor nature. Sometimes chimpanzees gather around waterfalls, howling, and throwing stones – believed to be expressions of almost “sacred” emotions. Photo: Pinterest. We invite our readers to watch the video : Living with Wolves / VTV2
