Become a Chimpanzee Child

Play

Running over to your friends you wrestle with other chimpanzees. Chimpanzees often play with each other by tickling, chasing, and wrestling. As young chimpanzees grow older, their play becomes more aggressive.

After playing around in the leaves and branches both you and the other chimpanzees have lots of grass and dirt stuck in your hair. Would you like to groom each other (clean up) or go look for some food?
