Five facts about chimpanzees

Once again I share with you another interesting short video by GeoBeats that shows five wonderful facts about chimpanzees.

Chimpanzees are quite amazing animals that have traveled to space, talked in movies and helped with science tests.

If you don't want to watch the video at the end, you can read the practical information below.

Chimpanzees are attractive animals, especially because they are genetically and behaviorally similar to humans.

Consequently, chimpanzees are often used in human trials, and actually were transported into space before astronauts!

A common mistake with chimpanzees is to think they are monkeys when they are actually ape.

More than most animals, chimpanzees are very social animals and live in very large groups that interact with each other in many ways.

Chimpanzees are omnivores and their varied diet includes nuts, fruits, leaves and small animals.
