In Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, Africa, chimpanzees are very clever. They use tools to find food. These chimps take thin sticks or plant stems to catch termites from mounds. Termites are tasty for them. The chimps pick sticks that bend легко and make them about 12 inches long to reach inside tunnels. Dr. Alejandra Pascual-Garrido and her team watched the chimps. They saw that chimps learn this from their mothers and use the same tools again. It is interesting to watch them.
