Although playing is thought of as an activity specific
to young chimps, adults like to play as well. Adult females
often spend time each day playing with their offspring.
Mothers will tickle, wrestle and sometimes even play chase
with their kids or any other youngsters that may be around.
After your long travels you are tired and need a rest. However you and
your children are also covered with all kinds of leaf debris and dirt. Would you like
to lie down and rest or groom your child?
