Chimpanzees are our closest living animal relatives. They can use language; they make and use tools, and have traditions - which they pass from one generation to the next. Like us, they kiss, hug and comfort each other, form life-long friendships and grieve for their dead. They can also hold grudges for years, and even go to war! Ages 7+.

Description
Chimpanzees are our closest living animal relatives. They can use language, make and use tools, and have traditions that they pass from one generation to the next. Like us, they kiss, hug, and comfort each other, form life-long friendships, and grieve for their dead. They can also hold grudges for years and even go to war against their enemies!
The story of chimpanzees is fascinating—from those that use sharpened spears to hunt, to those that have their own 'crossing guards' to help them travel safely.
The Chimpanzee Book: Apes Like Us by Dr Carla Litchfield offers an in-depth exploration of these remarkable creatures, revealing their striking similarities to humans as well as their unique behaviours.
