Become a Male Chimpanzee

Nest

As the sun starts to set chimpanzees will begin building individual nests for the evening's sleep. They will gather branches and leaves from surrounding trees and bend them down into a soft mat. Chimpanzees usually make new nests every night. You lie down and get ready for the next day.

Now that you have experienced a day as a male adult why don't you try becoming a female or chimpanzee child?
