Diet:
Omnivorous: Chimpanzees primarily eat fruit but are omnivores, meaning they also consume leaves, nuts, insects, and occasionally small animals.
Intelligence:
Problem Solving: Chimpanzees are capable of complex problem solving and have shown the ability to use sign language or symbols to communicate with humans in some studies.
Memory: They have excellent short-term memory, often outperforming humans in certain memory tasks.
Culture: Different chimpanzee groups display unique “cultural” behaviors, such as specific tool use techniques or grooming rituals that are passed down through generations.
