Chimps have a range of personalities and the facial expressions to reflect them. But perhaps the thing they most have in common with us is the ability to learn from each other.

Someday one of them will say NO Or Ceasar is Home
This reminds me of when my Italian greyhound had a fractured leg when we got him and he needed a cast and he had trouble walking with it and I showed him how to walk by getting on my hands a knees and putting my arm back against my body, then he copied me and that was how he walked around while he had the cast. He even ran like that. It was amazing

This is where it gets confusing. In the wild, alot of what you think might be happening isn't really happening for that reason. Many zoologists get animal behavior wrong. The chimp that wasn't able to work the stick for awhile may have not wanted to perform that specific task yet. Also, in the wild if you learn something new.....be careful someone doesn't try and steal it from you. Meaning it isn't so much not being able to learn but the willingness to learn a new action or not wanting to figure it out until the other chimps deemed it safe to do so. Watch, <wait> and learn. Take out the wait and you might think the chimp has difficulty learning when he was just waiting.

Its interesting that many other animals and birds seem to be able not only learn from their own species , but from other animals , birds and humans. Octopus's have been shown to be able to unscrew a jar after watching the procedure once and crows were able to figure out by themselves how to use the a stick of correct length to pull a treat out between two sheets of glass. Both the octopus and crows can reflect many different emotions with their body and crows thru a wide range of vocal calls.

This is such a remarkable discoverable about nature and our furthest cousin I hope to not feel envious of the man in the video but he really does have a beautiful job

i like seeing videos of humans and apes interacting because seeing the sparkle in both of our eyes when we recognize behavior we understand in each other is so beautiful. We both get charmed by how similar this weird chimp/weird human is.

Why is this series called amazing monkeys? Chimpanzees aren't monkeys, they're great apes.

Emotions are not expressed on the face, the attributes listed at the beginning of this video are all behaviors, not facial expressions. Read Lisa Feldman-Barret's "How Emotions are Made", we're really beginning to re-think how emotions are constructed and displayed. It's highly cultural, and no one expression in our species translates across all cultures. In chimps, there are likely micro expressions and a heavy reliance on body language that we simply fail to understand.

Why are these beautiful creatures living in a rescue place ? We destroy their habitat then create rescue shelters ?

ive always found chimps's behaviour to be amazing
