Become a Female Chimpanzee

Sleeping

As the sun rises over the horizon you wake up in your nest with your child. Chimpanzees sleep about 12 hours a day and make nests out of leaves and branches to sleep in each night.

Climbing down from your tree you know that your child is getting hungry. Would you like to move out with the group and look for some fruit or insects to feed on or nurse your child?
