Chimpanzees have dark fur and long arms that help them swing from tree to tree. They have hands with fingers that can grab things, just like yours. Chimps have flat faces and big ears on the sides of their heads.
Chimpanzees eat fruit, leaves, and nuts. They use sticks to pull bugs out of logs for a tasty snack. They make a new bed out of leaves every single night to sleep in!
- Chimpanzees live together in big groups and love to play with each other.
- They hug and hold hands to show they are friends.
- Baby chimps ride on their mom’s back when they travel through the forest.
