Like Humans, Chimps Learn Behavior From One Another

This reminds me of when my Italian greyhound had a fractured leg when we got him and he needed a cast and he had trouble walking with it and I showed him how to walk by getting on my hands a knees and putting my arm back against my body, then he copied me and that was how he walked around while he had the cast. He even ran like that. It was amazing

ive always found chimps's behaviour to be amazing

2:28 “He CAN’T be THIS slow”

This is such a remarkable discoverable about nature and our furthest cousin I hope to not feel envious of the man in the video but he really does have a beautiful job

Its interesting that many other animals and birds seem to be able not only learn from their own species , but from other animals , birds and humans. Octopus's have been shown to be able to unscrew a jar after watching the procedure once and crows were able to figure out by themselves how to use the a stick of correct length to pull a treat out between two sheets of glass. Both the octopus and crows can reflect many different emotions with their body and crows thru a wide range of vocal calls.

Someday one of them will say NO Or Ceasar is Home

This is where it gets confusing. In the wild, alot of what you think might be happening isn't really happening for that reason. Many zoologists get animal behavior wrong. The chimp that wasn't able to work the stick for awhile may have not wanted to perform that specific task yet. Also, in the wild if you learn something new.....be careful someone doesn't try and steal it from you. Meaning it isn't so much not being able to learn but the willingness to learn a new action or not wanting to figure it out until the other chimps deemed it safe to do so. Watch, and learn. Take out the wait and you might think the chimp has difficulty learning when he was just waiting.

0:50 what a baller haha

There‘s a word for this: unbelievable

Very cute and cheeky to love to watch them so smart thank you for sharing Bless you all have a good day.

Culture is learned behaviour: these chimps have culture

Teach them all the possible bush craft and survival skills you can.

Incredibly interesting. Thanks for the great video.

I watched another documentary that showed Chimps making spears to hunt baby bush creatures

Great video!

They learn but they don't teach.
