Description

In this Web exclusive, from the National Wildlife Federation Web site, Laura Tangley writes about the recent discovery that chimps make and use tools in innovative ways never seen before. A research team set up unmanned video cameras that recorded the behavior of a group of 54 chimps over the course of six months. Their finding bolsters the notion that different chimpanzee groups have their own unique cultures. This resource also contains links to other NWF resources.
