Chimpanzees make tools and use them to obtain food and for social displays; they have refined hunting tactics requiring collaboration, influence and rank; they are status conscious, calculating and capable of deception; they can learn to use symbols and understand some facets of human language, including certain interpersonal compositions, the concepts of numbers and numerical sequences, and they master spontaneous preparation for a future state or event. Tool use is regularly reported in chimpanzees. They use many different tools to perform many different tasks. They use sticks to fish for insects, stones and wood to crack nuts, leaves to absorb liquid, and branches used as weapons to dominate opponents and scare off predators. When making tools, they can use a variety of different materials to make the same type of tool. For example, they use sticks, twigs, bark and vines to fish for termites. They may also use the same material for different purposes. A sheet can be used as a termite probe, a towel or a sponge. There are contrasts in the toolkits used by different groups of chimpanzees, which appear to be a result of the environment they live in as well as the information shared. by the group. For example, in 1973 it was reported that chimpanzees at Gombe did not use hammers, while those at Cape Palmas did. We will explore tool use by wild chimpanzees, including in Gombe, the Tai National Forest and the Congo Basin, and compare these with captive chimpanzees in zoos in the United States and the stranger. Development of tool use: While most tools thought to have been used by chimpanzees involved the extraction of food, such as with termites and nuts, or the throwing of stones in order to hit their... . middle of paper ... ...... wild counterparts.
