Chimpanzees

September 22, 2021

This week’s animal is known for its extreme intelligence. This episode may hit close to home because these animals are very closely related to us. However, their populations are really struggling right now, and they need our help. So, join Alex as he heads into the rainforests to talk about our relatives: chimpanzees.

“[Chimpanzees] are really important to us. They’re a crucial piece in the puzzle of figuring out where humans came from and what our ancestors were like.”
