Description
I took this photo of an elderly Chimpanzee getting ready to head inside after a long, sunny day. Chimpanzees have opposable thumbs used for climbing, picking fruits, and catching insects. They are known for making and using simple tools like twigs for eating termites, and using rocks for cracking nuts. They will also create leaf "sponges" for getting water out of tree-boles and crevices.
