Chimpanzees are the most Proficient Tool Users in the Wild

In fact there are a lot of diligent tool users, but long believed that only animals with sufficient intelligence to develop and improve the tools they make are human beings. Adding innovative new features to previous designs such as wheels and engines is one of the characteristics that some scientists consider us to make unique. Wild chimpanzees often use wooden sticks to capture termites, ants or honey. This ability seems to have been inherited from generation to generation by mother.

A common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) is the user of a complex tool that breaks nuts with stone tools and fishes with ants and termites. There are more reports on the use of closely related Panpaniscus's baseball gear; they use captive bodies and tools that are as easy to use as chimpanzees, but they claim rarely to use outdoor tools. The tools used are more enthusiastic than men. Wild chimpanzees mainly use tools in the context of food collection, but wild Bonobo seems to be using tools mainly for personal care (clean, rainproof) and social purposes. Wild Bonobos are observed to use leaves to hide the rain and to use branches on social displays.

In 1960, British naturalist and writer Jane Goodall was devoted to observing the behavior of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Creek Reserve of Gombe in Tanzania. So Goodall made some wonderful discoveries. For example, she saw a chimpanzee making and using a tool. We argue against the theory that only human beings are using tools. She also observed that chimpanzees "accept" young orphan chimpanzees. Hugging Chimpanzee Goodall for decades has supported her idea that chimpanzees are emotions and very intelligent creatures that can form long-term relationships. As the chief authority of the behavior of chimpanzees, Goodall has written dozens of books from academic writing to children's books for paintings. Today, she teaches wildlife conservation and animal welfare.
