A Fact About Chimpanzee

Do you know that chimpanzee has some similarities with human? Not only physical appearance, they do things that usually done by human. First, they use tools to help them survive in the wild. For example, using a branch to lure ants and then eat them. Next, chimpanzee is a social animal; they live in group and also there is a hierarchy in it. Like human, chimp also communicate to each other. They give information, date, wrestle, and even learn how to use tools.
It is said that chimpanzee is an intelligent animal. A research found that a young chimpanzee is more superior than human in memory. The experiment shows that a young chimpanzee can memorize numbers from 1 to 9 very quickly, which can not be done by human.
