One of the amazing things about chimpanzees
is that nursing doesn't slow mothers down all that much.
Often, mothers will sit quietly and groom their babies while
they are nursing. However, just as often, mothers with be
traveling, eating, termite-fishing, or grooming another
chimp while their baby is nursing.
You are getting hungry but one of your children wants to play.
Would you rather gather your children together and find some food
or play with your child?
