Play is an important part of chimp social life at the sanctuary. The chimps especially enjoy rough-housing and wrestling with each other. Even with massive canine teeth, the chimps often use their mouths when playing, gently biting and panting with their mouths open. https://youtu.be/zr88Jqze7_U | Project Chimps

CHIMP FACT: Did you know chimps grooming vocalizations are slightly different from chimp to chimp? Some have a distinct what humans call a "raspberry" sound while others have more of a lip-smacking sound and still others have various other sounds. This is Emma's sound.

Chimpanzees are remarkably intelligent creatures, known for their strong problem-solving skills, use of tools in the wild, and impressive memory. They exhibit signs of culture and communication, and research has shown they can learn sign language, recognize themselves in mirrors, and even plan for the future. Their level of intelligence is often compared to that of a young human child. Video: @kyotouniversity #japan #monkey #smart #explores | The TinderBlog
