Baby chimpanzees have much to learn about life in the forest. The chimps and the chimp moms will always stay together if the chimp still remains a baby. A chimp is defenseless and weak when it’s born but in a couple of hours they begin to move their toes and their fingers. The chimp’s instinct tells them to hold on to their mother tightly. But they need more skills to learn to survive in the wild then just their instincts.The chimp mom will have to be a good teacher.
The main thing that the chimp mom will have to teach them to watch out for danger. She has to notice other angry male chimpanzees. The mothers also have to watch out for their chimps when they play rough. There are also lessons about food. When a chimp is three or four months old, the mom will teach her young how to peel fruit. The baby must watch, learn, and practice.
A mom will have to teach the chimps how to use tools. She shows her baby how to fish for termites. The baby chimp watches as the mother pokes a stick into the termite nest. A baby chimp will also learn how to use other tools, too. They use rocks to open nuts. Water-filled roots turn into water bottles. Chimps cantake them out of the ground. Then drink them when they are thirsty.
