• Like humans, the chimpanzee is a member of the ape family. It is thought to share 99% of its genes with humans.
• It loves hanging around with other chimps. They live together in mixed 'troops' in African rainforests.
• One of the cleverest animals, it makes tools from twigs to dig tasty termites out of their mounds.
• Baby chimps often play, chasing, wrestling and tickling other babies.
