It’s part of a new study that adds to a growing body of research showing our closest living relatives aren’t nearly as different from us as we once imagined. Studies have shown that chimps also throw temper tantrums and even do puzzles for fun.
One thing’s for certain, these chimps could certainly show us a thing or two about safety.
