Chimpanzees for Kids | Learn all about this intelligent primate

Did you know chimpanzees are similar to humans when it comes to caring for their young ones? It's true! In this video for kids, you'll learn that chimpanzees are excellent parents! Baby chimpanzees stay close to their moms and hold on to their fur when they need a ride. Moms make cozy nests for them to sleep in at night. Like human babies and children, chimps learn essential things from their parents, like how to find food and be safe in the jungle.
Despite what people used to think, chimps are omnivores and eat both meat and plant foods. Because of their keen senses, they are excellent foragers and can easily locate delicious treats in the forest. Their eyesight is excellent for spotting fruits and other food high in the trees. They also have a strong sense of smell, which helps them sniff out ripe fruits or fresh plants to eat. And when they're in the mood for some protein, like insects or small animals, their quick thinking and use of tools come in handy.
These amazing primates are also known for their impressive tool-making skills. Chimps can create tools from objects they find in the environment to help them get food or solve problems. For instance, they might use leaves as sponges to soak up water and drink from them. This kind of tool use sets them apart from many other animals and shows their ability to innovate.
