Chimpanzee

Did You Know?

Chimpanzees were the first non-human animals observed making and using tools, a discovery by Jane Goodall that redefined what it means to be "human." They use sticks to "fish" for termites, rocks to crack nuts, and even crumpled leaves as "sponges" to soak up drinking water. Despite being smaller than humans, they are estimated to be 1.5 times stronger than us pound-for-pound due to the way their muscle fibers are structured for climbing and swinging.
