Become a Chimpanzee Child

Sleeping

You wake up next to your mother at about 7:00 in the morning. Chimpanzees sleep about 12 hours a day and often make nests out of leaves and branches to sleep in for a single night.

You see some other young chimpanzees that have just woken up from a night's rest but you are also hungry. Do you want to go over to play with the other chimpanzees or would you like to go look for some food?
