Chimpanzees: Africa's Arboreal Acrobats

Chimpanzees are one of the most acrobatic climbers in the animal kingdom. Chimps spend up to 80% of the day in the trees, chimpanzees are masters of blending physical and cognitive skills to negotiate the dynamic complexities of their forest homes. Take a look at these agile arboreal acrobats as they swing through the treetops!
