Did you know that a chimpanzee never sleeps in the same bed twice?
On average, a chimpanzee will build 9000 nests in its lifetime! They learn early to understand the resistance of branches, how to bend them, break them in the right place, and weave them without the nest coming apart.
But if for an adult building a nest takes less than 7 minutes, for a baby chimp, like our little architect, it can take a few more tries.
