Description The Majestic Black Bear is a monumental sculpture by Gillie and Marc, created in collaboration with OZ Art for Bella Vista Bike Park. At the heart of the concept is a simple and powerful idea: you can come and sit in the bears hands.
The sculpture transforms the black bear into a gentle guardian, seated with its enormous paws open in a welcoming and protective gesture. Rather than presenting the animal as something distant or untouchable, Gillie and Marc have created a work that invites people into a feeling of safety, wonder, and connection. Visitors are able to sit within the bear’s cradling hands, physically stepping into the artwork and becoming part of its meaning.
This idea of sitting in the bears hands speaks to comfort, trust, protection, and belonging. The bear becomes a symbol of strength used with tenderness — a powerful creature offering care rather than fear. It is a reminder that the natural world is not something separate from us, but something that can hold us, support us, and inspire us when approached with respect and love.

Location Shoalhaven Council, New South Wales
Description In 1861, a horse named Archer galloped into history, winning the very first Melbourne Cup and securing his place as one of Australia’s most legendary racehorses. Bred and trained in the Shoalhaven region of New South Wales, Archer was known for his remarkable stamina and gentle temperament, qualities that would make him an enduring symbol of Australian determination and spirit.
Trained by Etienne de Mestre at his Terara stables near Nowra, and ridden by jockey John Cutts, Archer famously walked more than 500 kilometres from the Shoalhaven to Flemington to compete, and win the inaugural Melbourne Cup by six lengths. He went on to triumph again in 1862, becoming the first horse to win consecutive Cups, a record that still resonates in Australian racing folklore.
Gillie and Marc were commissioned by the Shoalhaven Council to create the Archer sculpture as a tribute to this remarkable horse and the local community that nurtured his legacy. The sculpture beautifully captures the powerful bond between horse, trainer, and jockey; a celebration of teamwork, endurance, and the pioneering spirit of early Australian racing.
The piece was unveiled by Tim de Mestre, great-grandson of Archer’s trainer, honouring not only the champion horse but also the generations of dedication and passion that have kept his story alive in the Shoalhaven.

Description We believe that all living creatures deserve a world where they are safe and free to live with dignity. Too often, elephants have been forced into danger—poached for their ivory, driven from their homes, and made to hide from the very world they should belong to.
In The Elephant Came Out to See the World, we imagine a different future. Here, the elephant slowly rises up from a manhole, not into fear, but into hope. It is stepping into a world where it will not be hunted, where safety is not a privilege, but a right.
This sculpture reminds us that we must build such a world—not just for elephants, but for all beings. A place where they can emerge from hiding, stretch into the light, and find not danger, but welcome.

Edition Number /10
Description Zuri is a playful baby African elephant who loves nothing more than exploring, chasing things, and swinging his trunk around in delight. Still too young to fully understand how useful it is, he finds endless amusement in it. But behind his joyful curiosity is a deep fear—of people with guns. He once saw them kill his auntie for her tusks and worries constantly about losing his mother too, knowing he wouldn’t survive alone. Like all African elephants, Zuri is part of a close-knit herd led by a wise matriarch, and though he’s cared for by many loving females, his mother is his lifeline. Elephants like Zuri are vital to their ecosystems, digging water holes and spreading seeds, but threats like poaching, habitat loss, and drought are pushing them to the brink—leaving young calves like him vulnerable and scared in a world that's rapidly changing.

They use their tusks to dig up dry riverbeds in the dry season, digging down to the water hidden underneath and creating water holes for others.
Masai giraffe: The tallest living animal in the world, the giraffe tower over the savannas of Africa. It’s good that they do because a group of giraffes is aptly named a tower! As a whole, the giraffe is listed as vulnerable but the Masai and reticulated species are endangered. The Masai populations have been estimated to have declined by 52% in the past few decades, mainly due to habitat loss and poaching.
Grevy’s zebra: With stripes as unique as our fingerprints, the zebra is an iconic member of African wildlife. Grevy’s zebra is the largest and most endangered and is more closely related to the wild ass than the horse, the more common plains zebras’ cousins.
Lion:The African lion, an emblematic symbol of strength and majesty, faces complex challenges in the wild. Habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and poaching have contributed to a decline in lion populations across Africa.
Orangutan:The orangutan, a critically endangered species of great ape found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra, is facing severe population decline due to habitat loss, illegal hunting, and the palm oil industry.
Cheetah:The cheetah, known for its unparalleled speed and sleek build, stands as one of Africa's most distinctive predators. Despite its remarkable capabilities, cheetah populations have faced a decline due to habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and illegal wildlife trade.
Northern white rhino:There are two species of white rhino, the northern and southern. The southern rhino was thought to be extinct until the late 19th century when a small population was discovered in South Africa.
Mountain Gorilla:The mountain gorilla, a majestic and endangered species, commands attention as one of the most iconic primates. Residing in the high-altitude forests of Central Africa, these gentle giants face numerous threats, including habitat loss, poaching, and political instability.
Hippo:One of the most recognizable animals, this blubbery giant has charmed the world, even though it’s considered to be one of the most dangerous! They are at major risk from poaching, with a 2006 study showing a 20% reduction in their populations over the past decade. They are killed for their meat as well as the ivory from their tusks.
Chimpanzee: The chimpanzee is our closest living relative, sharing about 99% of our DNA. It’s even thought that we have a common ancestor who lived sometime between 7-13 million years ago!

Description One of the most intimate experiences we share as humans is also the simplest, sitting down on the couch together and sharing time over coffee and cake. It’s a time where we can nourish, support, and enjoy time with each other, a time that is cherished by many families all around the world.
But not everyone gets to share this same level of love and support. The world is currently experiencing the 6th mass extinction. More and more beautiful creatures are being pushed towards the threat of extinction and the reasons can always be linked back to us, humans. We have moulded the earth to suit our needs, indifferent to the effects on the other living creatures who share our planet.
This public sculpture experience is an invitation to join the best party in the world. Expertly crafted in bronze, the couch is ready and the animals are already partying, all that is left is for the public to take their seats.
Rabbitwoman and Dogman, the internationally beloved hybrid characters who have travelled the world spreading messages of love, acceptance, and adventure, play host to the party. They sit in the middle of the couch either side of an African elephant. Their guests; twelve of the world's most endangered animals. Rabbitwoman and Dogman have opened invited all these the animals as a symbol of love and support, welcoming them into their family and promising to protect them in every way they can.
The Animals The twelve endangered animals include; a hippo, Masai giraffe, African elephant, Bengal tiger, koala, chimpanzee, Grevy’s zebra, Northern white rhino, lion, mountain gorilla, orangutan and an Arabian red fox. They have each been invited to the party as representatives of some of the best-known species in the world. And yet they all are dangerously close to the same threat, extinction.
Hippo: One of the most recognizable animals, this blubbery giant has charmed the world, even though it’s considered to be one of the most dangerous!

They use their tusks to dig up dry riverbeds in the dry season, digging down to the water hidden underneath and creating water holes for others.
Bengal tiger: The tiger is the largest member of the feline family with a great roar that can be heard as far as two miles away. The Bengal tiger may be the most iconic out of all 5 remaining species and is even considered a charismatic megafauna, a large animal with such symbolic value and appeal that they are often used to gain popular support.

Description In the First World War 136,000 “walers” (the general name applied to Australian horses abroad) were sent overseas for use by the Australian Imperial Force and the British and Indian governments. Only one horse from the 136,000 made it back to Australia. His name was Sandy.
Sandy belonged to Major General Sir William Bridges, who was killed in battle at Gallipoli. A gentle bay standing 16 hands high, he was the Major’s favourite charger and it was his dying wish to have his beloved horse returned home to Australia to enjoy a long and happy retirement.
When the Major died, Sandy was put into the care of Captain Leslie Whitfield and was transported to Egypt then onto France in March 1916. It wasn’t until the following year that the Australian authorities were able to honour the Major’s dying wish and granted Sandy a safe passage to return home to Australia.
The big bay lived out his days munching on green grass at Maribyrnong in Melbourne’s west near Highpoint, around a place named Remount Hill near the Maribyrnong River, where many thousands of horses including Sandy, had earlier begun their long one-way journey.
Highpoint is proud to present the Sandy commemorative sculpture as part of its Highpoint Art Journey.

Description The African forest elephant is a remarkable creature, and this 6-month-old calf is no exception. Growing up fast, she's already starting to show signs of her adult tusks, which are a source of worry for her and her family. Poachers have been known to target forest elephants for their valuable ivory tusks, so the little calf's parents are always on high alert to protect her. Despite this, the calf is still able to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, running and playing in the lush forest with her family and friends. Her playful nature and boundless energy are a joy to watch, and she is a reminder of the incredible beauty and diversity of life in our natural world.
The African elephant is the largest land animal in the world and wanders across 37 countries in Africa. There are two subspecies, the Savanna (or bush) elephant and the Forest elephant. Forest elephants are slightly smaller and live in the forests of the Congo Basin. African elephants live in herds led by a matriarch, the biggest and oldest female who looks after her herd and leads them to water holes. Adult males tend to live alone or occasionally join an all-male group.
Elephants have the longest pregnancy of any other mammal, nearly 22 months. Not too surprisingly the baby is huge, weighing 200 pounds at birth and 3 feet tall. Elephants don’t have to worry about being a single parent, they have a system called allomothering. This means that not only the mother but all the young females in the herd will look after the baby. For the first 2 years of their life, the baby will suckle milk from its mother, a whopping 13 litres a day! Babies don’t understand the purpose of their trunk at first. They enjoy swinging it around and even suck it like a human baby would suck their thumb. At about 6-8 months old they learn to use it to eat and drink and once they reach a year old, they can do everything they need, like grasping and bathing. The females will stay with the herd forever while the males will set out on their own at around 12-14 years old.
African elephants are a keystone species meaning they are crucial for their environment. They use their tusks to dig up dry riverbeds in the dry season, digging down to the water hidden underneath and creating water holes for others. They are also important for seed dispersal, eating the seeds of different plants and dropping them all over the place in the form of their poop! The forest elephants also make pathways through the trees for other animals as their great size can power through while happily munching on seeds.
The biggest threat to African elephants is poaching for the ivory trade. 55 elephants are killed a day to fuel the ivory industry and orphaned baby elephants don’t stand much of a chance in the wild without their mothers. Unable to care for themselves and left with psychological scars from the traumatic event, orphaned calves would usually die. Habitat loss is also a major problem. In the last 25 years, the world lost a forested area the size of South Africa. Elephants roam up to 80km a day, so this forces them into dangerous and deadly confrontations with humans when they come into these new settlements, especially when an elephant can eat an entire season of crops in one night! The angry farmers will often kill them in retaliation. Drought that has been seen over much of East Africa in the last ten years is also drying up water holes and diminishing their available food, with plants and trees no longer able to flourish in their changing environment.

Description All rhino species are endangered. In the last decade, 9,885 African rhinos have been lost to poaching. Even though the trend is starting to change for the better, 1 rhino is still killed every single day. The reason for this terrible loss is their beautiful horns, worth their weight in gold on the black market because of the incessant demand from Asia, particularly China and Vietnam. The horns are ground up and used in traditional medicines despite it being scientifically proven to have no medicinal benefits.
The forgotten victims of this horrific epidemic are the babies who are left behind, discarded as they have not yet grown their horns. Rhino calves cannot survive without their mothers and if they are not found by humans who can protect them they will surely die. The brave babies have been known to do everything they can to try and save their mothers, tacking on the poachers and coming out with serious injuries.

Description At 4 months old this baby African elephant is very playful. He loves exploring and chasing things and just cannot get enough of the bizarre swingy thing on his face, it’s so much fun! But there is one thing he is very scared of, the people with guns. He had seen one of his aunties being shot down by them. He hadn’t stuck around to see what happened but he had been told they took her tusks then left her there. He couldn’t imagine what he would do if that happened to his mum, how would he survive without her?
The African elephant is the largest land animal in the world and wanders across 37 countries in Africa. There are two subspecies, the Savanna (or bush) elephant and the Forest elephant. Forest elephants are slightly smaller and live in the forests of the Congo Basin. African elephants live in herds led by a matriarch, the biggest and oldest female who looks after her herd and leads them to water holes. Adult males tend to live alone or occasionally join an all-male group.
Elephants have the longest pregnancy of any other mammal, nearly 22 months. Not too surprisingly the baby is huge, weighing 200 pounds at birth and 3 feet tall. Elephants don’t have to worry about being a single parent, they have a system called allomothering. This means that not only the mother but all the young females in the herd will look after the baby. For the first 2 years of their life, the baby will suckle milk from its mother, a whopping 13 litres a day! Babies don’t understand the purpose of their trunk at first. They enjoy swinging it around and even suck it like a human baby would suck their thumb. At about 6-8 months old they learn to use it to eat and drink and once they reach a year old, they can do everything they need, like grasping and bathing. The females will stay with the herd forever while the males will set out on their own at around 12-14 years old.
African elephants are a keystone species meaning they are crucial for their environment. They use their tusks to dig up dry riverbeds in the dry season, digging down to the water hidden underneath and creating water holes for others. They are also important for seed dispersal, eating the seeds of different plants and dropping them all over the place in the form of their poop! The forest elephants also make pathways through the trees for other animals as their great size can power through while happily munching on seeds.
The biggest threat to African elephants is poaching for the ivory trade. 55 elephants are killed a day to fuel the ivory industry and orphaned baby elephants don’t stand much of a chance in the wild without their mothers. Unable to care for themselves and left with psychological scars from the traumatic event, orphaned calves would usually die. Habitat loss is also a major problem. In the last 25 years, the world lost a forested area the size of South Africa. Elephants roam up to 80km a day, so this forces them into dangerous and deadly confrontations with humans when they come into these new settlements, especially when an elephant can eat an entire season of crops in one night! The angry farmers will often kill them in retaliation. Drought that has been seen over much of East Africa in the last ten years is also drying up water holes and diminishing their available food, with plants and trees no longer able to flourish in their changing environment.

Description It was a bit of a shock when this beautiful boy fell to earth, it was quite a drop! At three weeks old he prefers to stay close to the ground, using the tall grass of his African savanna home to stay hidden from predators. He is entirely reliant on his mother who protects him by kicking away any predators and nursing him the milk he needs to keep growing big and strong. Soon, he will be the tallest animal in the world, but his amazing height won’t give back all the space he would have once been able to roam. All he can do is watch and hope that the humans will stop taking more.
The tallest living animal in the world, the giraffe tower over the savannas of Africa. It’s good that they do because a group of giraffes is aptly named a tower! These groups usually are of 10-20 members who can come and go as they please. They move around, searching for mimosa and acacia trees where they get their food, spending only 20 minutes each day sleeping. The spotty pattern on their coat is unique to each animal, just like our fingerprints.
Giraffes give birth standing up, a bit of a heart-wrenching thought when you think how far the newborn baby will have to fall, a whopping 5 feet! These hardy babies are even more impressive in that they can stand after half an hour and even run 10 hours after they are born. The newborns are very vulnerable to predators and spend the first few weeks hiding. If a predator approaches, the mother will stand over her calf and kick the threat away with her long legs. Mothers and calves travel with other mothers and calves in nursing herds, keeping each other safe as a group. Occasionally a mother may want to leave to forage or drink away from the herd, leaving her baby in the care of another female, this is called a calving pool. If a threat appears the responsible female will alert her own calf, the other babies will catch on and follow.
It wasn’t until quite recently that it was discovered that giraffes can be separated into different species. In 2016 a study claimed that there are four; southern giraffe (which has two subspecies), northern giraffe (which has three subspecies), reticulated giraffe, and Masai giraffe. The study claimed that the species did not interbreed and had not for 1-2 million year.
As a whole, the giraffe is listed as vulnerable but the Masai and reticulated species are endangered. Their biggest threats are habitat loss and being killed for bushmeat. As agriculture moves into the savannas and the need for firewood increases in those areas, they lose their land and also their favourite acacia trees, making it harder for them to find food. Their tail is also used for good-luck bracelets, fly whisks and thread.

Description Swinging through the trees holding hands with her friends is the three-year-old baby orangutan. She has so much fun doing this but has started to notice something. Her beautiful rainforest with all the exciting and interesting trees and plants are starting to all look like the same tree. It is always noisy, the sound of some great machine and the crashing of falling trees and there are humans everywhere. She had always been told to keep away from humans. Many babies like her had been taken away by them. They are dangerous.
The Malay word for “man of the forest”, orangutan, is the name for our orange-haired cousins. Only found in the rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo in Indonesia and Malaysia, these arboreal great apes spend most of their time in trees with incredibly long arms fit for swinging. They are known as “gardeners” of the forest and are vital for seed dispersal. Males and females are sexually dimorphic so they are very easy to tell apart. The males have large cheek pads and a sagittal crest (a ridge of bone running like a mohawk along the skull) to show their dominance over other males.
Baby orangutans are completely dependent on their mothers for the first two years of their lives. They will be carried around on their mother’s belly having constant physical contact for the first 4 months. They will do everything together, travel, eat, and sleep. After this period the two start to spend more and more time apart. The mother will often enlist the help of one of her older children to help her raise her baby and socialise it. Once it is about 1 ½, the baby will be quite a good climber and will be able to swing from tree to tree, holding hands with other orangutans in what is called “buddy travel”. But even when they become an adolescent at the age of 6 or 7, the baby will still find time for their mum.
Orangutans are one of the most intelligent non-human primates. They use tools, some even creating a toolkit containing insect-extraction sticks and seed-extraction sticks, adapting their tool for the task and even saving it for later. They have voluntary control over their vocalisations and one orangutan in the US National Zoo even learnt to whistle! They also show many humans characteristics such as laughter.
All three species of orangutan are listed as critically endangered and are legally protected in both Indonesia and Malaysia. Even so, they are easy targets for hunters being large and slow. The females are the most hunted for bushmeat with their babies being kept as pets, sent off on the illegal pet trade. Habitat loss is perhaps the biggest problem. Their home has been disappearing at a rapid rate to make way for palm oil plantations and other such projects. Over the past decade, it is estimated that orangutan populations have declined by 50% in the wild.

Description This 6-year-old Arctic Fox is very used to adapting to her environment. With a beautiful fluffy white coat to blend in with the snowy landscape and keep her toasty in winter, that transforms into a thinner and browner coat to fit perfectly into the summer months. But her environment is changing, and it’s changing fast. Her adaptations which worked so perfectly before are needing to adapt again and adapt quickly.
The beautiful Arctic fox may look delicate but it is incredibly hardy. It lives in one of the most inhospitable climates in the world- the Arctic- which spends its winter below freezing and its short summer just above. The fox has developed a thick white coat to perfectly suit its surroundings. Not only is it wonderfully warm with a lovely fluffy tail perfect for a blanket but it blends in perfectly with the snowy surroundings making it an excellent hunter. In the summer it sheds its thick coat for a brown/grey one that is perfect for blending in with the ice-free summer. Arctic Foxes are the only canid that has fur on the pads of their feet. Even though they are exceptional hunters, sometimes the long winter months can be short on food, particularly their favourite cuisine of lemmings. To solve this problem, the crafty hunters follow larger predators to scavenge whatever they manage to find. To help them with their hunting endeavours, the Arctic Fox has developed a spectacular sense of hearing and smell. They can easily hear lemmings burrowing under 4-5 inches of snow and can smell a leftover carcass 10-40km away. Once they have found their prey under the snow they leap into the air, giving them a fantastic vantage to pierce through the snow, catching their prey unaware.
Arctic foxes live in very large dens, a system of tunnels that can cover 1000m2 and has many entrances. If their main food source, the lemming, is abundant, the foxes can have litters as big as 25 kits, the largest of any dog, but are usually between 6-19. Arctic foxes are monogamous so both parents look after their young. The mother will feed the kits with her milk while the father will head out to hunt. The kits are completely dependent on their parents from summer to autumn, leaving the den for the first time when they are 14-15 weeks old and becoming sexually mature once they are a year old.
While the species as a whole is thriving, some populations are critically endangered; in Scandinavia and Medny Island in Russia. With the near extinction of wolves, the red fox became the apex predator, killing many foxes and their kits. They are also very susceptible to the populations of their prey. When lemming numbers drop, so too do fox numbers. Another major problem for the foxes is climate change. The Arctic is seeing rising temperatures at twice the rate of the rest of the world making huge changes to the habitat of the fox.

Description This 8-month-old joey is very dedicated to exploring every nook and cranny in her rocky home. It’s a bit of a labyrinth and takes some getting used to but she knows she is much safer up here where most other creatures don’t dare to climb. Things used to be a lot easier for her kind, she was told. There weren’t any of the cunning foxes who like to have rock wallaby joey for dinner or the goats that are now everywhere who get to all the good food first. They have tried to adapt to these changes but she knows there is only one way to fix the problem. If the humans help fix what they created.
Rock wallabies are small marsupials who like in fortress-like rocky homes in Australia. These nocturnal creatures spend their days in the shelter of their homes, either a cave, an overhang, or some kind of vegetation amongst the rocks, and venture out at night to feed. They have a highly adapted physique to help them nimbly get around their rocky homes. They have powerful legs and sharp claws which help them to climb trees and even scale nearly vertical rocks. They are the most diverse of all macropods (kangaroos, wallabies etc), with 19 species identified.
Rock wallabies are marsupials and so their young spend a lot of time in the warmth and safety of their mother’s pouch. They are born very tiny and not quite developed. They crawl up their mothers’ pouch to attach themselves to one of her teats inside where they continue to develop for 6-7 months. Once the joey is more developed it can start to venture out of mums pouch but will often jump back in whenever there is danger around. At 9 months old the joey is fully weaned and will leave its mothers pouch for the last time.
Rock wallabies vary in terms of their conservation status with some populations very at risk, even having disappeared from the south. They first became threatened with the arrival of Europeans where they began hunting them for their fur. But the bigger threat the Europeans bought was their foreign animals. Now, the biggest threats to the rock wallabies are from these introduced species such as red foxes who kill them, and other herbivores, particularly goats, sheep and rabbits who compete with them for food. With increasing habitat fragmentation and destruction, the wallabies are also at risk of lower genetic health because of their shrinking numbers.

Description From the famous Gombe Stream community in Tanzania, this 4-year-old chimp still has a lot to learn. He watches closely as his mum goes around her day to day life, learning as much as he can while taking every opportunity to have fun. He thought that he could be friends with another community that would sometimes come near his community, humans. They look and acted so similar to him he thought they would be great fun! But he was warned against them. They have been known to eat chimps and steal babies as their pets.
The chimpanzee is our closest living relative, sharing about 99% of our DNA. It’s even thought that we have a common ancestor who lived sometime between 7-13 million years ago! Through research we have been able to see some of the magical similarities between us and chimpanzees. We all have our own unique personalities, are incredibly social, can learn basic sign-language, and, most importantly use and make tools.
A chimpanzee will usually only give birth to one baby at a time. The babies are completely helpless and the level of love and care given by the mother is crucial for a healthy baby. For the first 30 days of their life, the baby will cling to their mother's belly and will move on to riding on their backs at 5 or 6 months. They start to be able to move around independently by the age of 2 and by 4-6 are weaned. As young chimps, they will still stay with their mothers for up to 9 years. Until then, the mother will play with her baby and teach them all the important skills needed for being a chimp.
Chimps are incredibly social creatures. They have intricate connections between the different members of their community, touching, cuddling, and sometimes fighting with each other. Grooming is an incredibly important part of chimp life. Not only is it important to stay clean and tidy, but it’s also a fantastic way to strengthen bonds, build alliances, and relax. Chimps can spend a few minutes and even up to a few hours grooming each other, maintaining friendly ties between the community. The important bonds between chimpanzees can also be seen when the grieve for their dead. Those who were closest to the deceased are visibly more upset and spend a lot more time in the process of mourning. Mothers will carry their dead babies around; others will groom their friend. This shows their diverse and complex emotions, and most importantly, their ability to love.
Chimpanzees are now endangered because of our actions. Because of major increases in human populations, miles and miles of their habitat is being destroyed, clearing space for city expansion, agriculture, roads, logging, and mining. This is making it harder for the chimps to survive, forcing them to live in smaller and smaller spaces and putting a major strain on food options. This issue over food, in particular, has led to human-chimpanzee conflict. In their desperation to find enough to eat, the chimps are forced to come to human settlements to steal food, mainly easy to grab things such as fruit, but when things are really tough, they have been known to take children. Families retaliate by killing the chimps to stop any other attacks. Chimps are also targeted by bushmeat hunters as they provide plenty of meat compared to other smaller animals. The hunters are also known to take the young as their pets or sell them on the illegal pet trade, a lifestyle that is never suitable for a wild animal. With DNA so similar to our own it is not surprising that chimpanzees are susceptible to many of the same diseases that we are. Since the 1980s, Ebola has been a major threat killing hundreds of thousands of chimpanzees.

Description This 2-year-old baby boy loves playing. He’s finally confident enough to spend a bit of time away from mum playing with his siblings and learning to climb. But he is worried. He has noticed that a lot of gorillas in his community have been getting sick and dying. And some are just disappearing! It seems to happen whenever a human comes close. He has been told to stay away from the humans, they might to catch him and keep him in a cage.
The smallest of all the gorilla, the Western Lowland Gorilla are the most widespread, found in the thick tropical rainforests of western and central Africa. These vegetarians spend a lot of their time eating their favourite foods; roots, shoots, fruit, wild celery, and tree bark and pulp. They are incredibly peaceful animals, living calm and nonviolent lives, except when they are provoked. When this happens, the dominant male can demonstrate his strength with a mighty display, standing on two-foot, charging, pounding his chest, hooting, and giving an almighty roar. Just like us, female gorillas usually give birth to just one baby at a time. These little ones are tiny and helpless, only weighing about four pounds, and are completely dependent on their mother. They cling to her fur for safety until about four months old when they learn to ride on her back. They will stay safely on mums back for the first 2-3 years of their lives, watching and learning and getting a lot of love from mum. As they get older, they will start to play, climbing trees, wrestling, chasing each other, and learning everything they need to know to be a good chimp. They are dependent on their mothers for up to 5 years.
Gorillas are some of the most intelligent animals in the world and can even learn sign language! Koko the gorilla shocked the world in the 1970s with her ability to learn and communicate in sign language. She mastered 1000 signs and was able to make statements of up to 8 words to let people know what she wanted or thought. Koko was also elevated to stardom when she adopted a kitten as a pet, a pet she had asked for, showing such care and love as if it were her own child. When her kitten died, she signed "Bad, sad, bad" and "Frown, cry, frown, sad, trouble" and was even heard making a sound similar to a human crying. Koko passed away in 2018.
The main threats for this gorilla are poaching and disease and it is estimated that their numbers have declined by over 65% in the past 20-25 years. Hunting the adults for bushmeat and the babies for pets is a big problem. In Northeast Congo alone, approximately 5% are killed each year because of this. Being so closely related to us in terms of DNA is also a big problem when it comes to disease. Central Africa has been struggling with the deadly Ebola virus for a long time and it’s not just humans affected. Gorillas and chimpanzee have been badly affected with estimates stating that one-third of wild gorilla populations, mostly made up of the western lowland gorilla, have been killed. One community, once considered one of the most important populations, the Minkébé Forest, have lost 90% of their population to Ebola.

Description It can be a bit confusing for a young zebra when it comes to telling mum apart. This 1-month-old baby boy has been alone with his mother for the first weeks of his life, breathing in her scent, remembering her call, and counting her stripes. Now he’s with the herd and there are stripes everywhere but he somehow knows who to follow. But if he looks past the herd there are a lot of others who don’t have stripes, and they seem to be getting to the food and the water first! Led by humans, these other herds are taking over.
With stripes as unique as our fingerprints, the zebra is an iconic member of African wildlife. Grevy’s zebra is the largest and most endangered and is more closely related to the wild ass than the horse, the more common plains zebras’ cousins. Its name comes from the president of France, Jules Grevy who was given a zebra as a gift by the emperor of Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia) in 1882. When a French zoologist met the gifted creature, he named it in honour of his president.
Zebras only give birth to one foal at a time and these babies are born with the ability to walk nearly immediately. This is very important because they are very at risk of predators and since they don’t hide they need to be able to run. New mothers keep their young separate for the first few days of their foals life so that they don’t imprint on any other mare. The foals must learn their mother's pattern, vocalisations, and scent and in the first few days of their life, they will follow anyone. Once the foal has imprinted, she will sometime leave her foal in a ‘kindergarten’ while she goes in search of water. These are groups of foals protected by an adult, often a territorial male, and a mare. Normally the foal will follow his mother wherever she goes, learning what to eat and the migratory routes of the herd following the seasons.
Grevy’s zebra is a very important part of the ecosystem on the dry, semi-arid scrub and grasslands they call home. Grazing with many other creatures such as antelope and wildebeest, the zebra helps them all out by taking off the hard, dry ends of the grass that the other grazers can’t digest. The zebra is well adapted to this environment. Unlike the plains zebra who needs lots of water, Grevy’s can go 5 days without any at all!
Grevy’s zebra has seen one of the biggest declines in their environment than any other African animal. With more and more land being converted to grazing pastures for livestock, the zebra has to compete for both food and water. Because of this, the survival rate of young zebras is very low. In the past 30 years, the population has dropped approximately 54%. In Ethiopia, the main threat is hunting, primarily for their skins but also for their meat and use in medicines.

Description Tumbling out of the den in the Italian mountains come this 1-year-old bear and his twin brother, having a wonderful game of ‘who can pin who’. This is a lot of fun but also good practice for when they are older, their coordination still could be better! Living in their national park they feel quite safe but their mother has warned them to never go too close to the humans, especially when they have a gun. If the humans get scared then it’s could be the end of the little bear.
The Marsican brown bear, also known as the Apennine brown bear, is a critically endangered member of the Eurasian brown bear. They live in forested areas between 800 and 1700 meters in elevation where they can live for 20-25 years. These solitary bears are mainly nocturnal, foraging around for their favourite foods of tubers, roots, fungi, fruits, and berries, but they are also happy to eat insects, honey, eggs, carrion, and even a small mammal or two.
The only times when the bears are not nocturnal are during mating and when they have cubs. The cubs are usually born in winter, where the mother will find a nice rocky cave to make as a den. She will usually give birth to twins, but sadly the mortality rate for cubs is 50%. The cubs will stay with their mother for 2-3 years but they can roam around independently after only a few months thanks to their mother’s fatty milk.
Only found in a very small part of Italy, these isolated bears have seen their numbers drop dramatically. Currently, estimates have put their numbers at only 50 bears left in the wild. They mainly live in the Abruzzo-Lazio-Molise National Park which was created in 1923 for the specific purpose of protecting the bears. This was a fantastic initiative which helped to protect them from one of their greatest threats at the time, habitat loss. Now, even though they are protected under Italian law, their threats come mainly from humans who kill them when the bears are seen as a threat to the locals and their cattle. Another big threat is genetic diversity. As there are so few of them, genetic diversity has become very small, giving rise to issues of inbreeding.

Description On the grasslands of Africa is a litter of 5-month-old cheetah cubs who love to play. Wrestling and tumbling together they teach each other important life skills to be the best cheetah’s they can be. But this little girl must be careful. As well as her natural predators she must watch out for humans. Her mother warned her that if they ever caught her they could keep her to live with them, selling her as a pet where she would never be free again.
The fastest land mammal in the world, the cheetah would leave most cars for dust reaching speeds of up to 128km/h and, perhaps even more impressive, can hit 95km/h in just 3 seconds! At these speeds’ cheetahs are not just limited to a straight line. They are very nimble, able to suddenly change direction. Once they hit their top speed, they can maintain it for only about 30 seconds.
Cheetahs can have up to 8 cubs in a single litter. These babies are born blind and completely helpless with a beautiful mohawk-like hairstyle which they lose as they get older. It is thought that this interesting hair makes them look like a honey badger, giving them some protection from both the badgers and other predators who avoid them. This is very important as cubs are at great risk of death from predation. For the first two months of their life, their mother must be very cautious, never going far from her cubs and moving them every 5 or 6 days. When this high-risk period is over, the cubs will start following their mother everywhere she goes, starting to replace their mothers’ milk with solid food. They spend a lot of time practising to hunt, with mum letting pray go for them to pounce. They will stay, playing and learning everything they need to know before leaving at around 20 months.
Most cheetah subspecies, of which there are five, live on the grassy plains of Africa. One, the Asiatic cheetah is the only surviving cheetah population in Asia and only found in central Iran. With less than 50 remaining, this subspecies is listed as critically endangered.
There are many threats to cheetahs. Habitat loss is one of the biggest threats. With more and more of their habitat being transformed in agriculture, roads, and settlements, cheetahs are finding it harder to make a territory of their own and find enough prey. In Africa, about 76% of their habitat is outside of protected areas and it is quickly diminishing. With less prey, they are forced to turn to livestock as a solution which results in an often deadly retaliation from the farmer. Being quite sociable and easy to train, cheetahs are also at risk of being caught and traded on the exotic pet trade. They are also poached for their beautiful skins.

Description Being in the water is one of the nicest ways to escape the scorching sun of Africa. This 2-month-old baby hippo loves getting wet, a born swimmer even if she may not look it. She feels safe here but her family pool is starting to get a bit crowded. There aren’t as many water holes for the hippos to choose from anymore so they have to share which can be scary for the baby when the adults start to annoy each other. She dreams that by the time she grows up there will be enough space for everyone.
The water-loving giants were given the name “river horse” by the Greeks and for good reason. The hippopotamus spends up to 16 hours of their day in the water, keeping cool from the baking African sun. They are very graceful swimmers and can hold their breath for up to minutes. This isn’t surprising considering their closest relatives are whales and dolphins. They secrete an oily red substance to protect themselves from the harsh rays which act as a sunblock and moisturiser and may even protect them against germs. This red stuff sparked a few rumours that they sweat blood but we can assure you that this isn’t true!
As the sun goes down the hippos come out of the water to graze on grasses. Hippos can get a bit feisty. They are highly aggressive and very unpredictable making them one of the most dangerous animals in the world. They are very good runners and can match humans for speed for short distances. They also have an impressive yawn which can be used as a threat display.
Hippos love the water so much they even mate and give birth there. The baby must swim to the surface to take their first breath so are born swimming! The babies need a lot of help from mum, resting on her back if the water is too deep for them and as protection from predators such as crocodiles, lions, hyenas and male hippos. When they want to suckle, they may have to do it underwater where they close their ears and nostrils so they don’t breathe in water. Hippo mothers are very protective of their calves but will sometimes leave them in nurseries under the watchful eye of a few adults. Here, the babies can have play fights with other calves, developing important skills for when they are full grown. The calves are fully weaned after a year.
Hippos are threatened by habitat loss, seeing their favourite water holes drying up at an alarming rate. With climate change reducing the rainy season they are also seeing reduced food options. They are also at major risk from poaching. A 2006 study showing a 20% reduction in the past decade. They are killed for their meat as well as the ivory from their tusks. Like elephants, this ivory is worth a lot of money and is a huge draw for many people desperate to make a living. Many local people are also reliant on their meat for food.

Description It can be hard growing up without parents but it doesn’t seem to bother this 5-year-old baby giant tortoise. She’s been on her own as soon as she cracked through her egg and joined her siblings in the open air. She has the instincts to show her the way but there are a few things that haven't been hardwired into her. The people brought their own animals to her island long ago, cats and dogs but also cows. She has started to learn how to avoid the predators mostly but the cows are a big pain. They eat her food and she needs that if she is to make it into a grand old age!
These giants are a window into a pre-historic time. The biggest living tortoises by far, these species of reptiles give us an idea of the simply enormous ones that would have roamed our world. They now survive in two remote groups where they can live for a very long time, over 100 years. They roam around with their great shells which are attached to their ribs. These shells are not solid but made up of honeycomb-shaped air chambers.
Tortoises have a very hands-off approach to parenting. The female will lay her eggs (2-25 depending on the species) in a nest she has dug into the sand. She will cover it back up and head off. The hatchlings will need to dig themselves out of the hole when they are ready. The temperature of the sand can affect the gender of the hatchlings: warmer temperatures give more females and colder temperatures give more males.
There once many more species of giant tortoises but many became extinct soon after humans arrived and the surviving populations were badly affected. Giant tortoises do not need to eat or drink for a very long time so for early humans this made for effective meals, being able to take like tortoises across great distances and then eat them fresh. They were also used for their oil to light lamps. Now, with dedicated breeding programmes, the numbers of many of the remaining species of tortoises are increasing. They are still threatened by introduced species such as cats and dogs who attack the young tortoises and cattle who are competition for grazing.

Description Living in the wet bamboo forests in the mountains of China is just the life for a rolly black and white bear. This 7-month-old baby loves the peace and tranquillity disturbed only by him and his mother playfully tumbling through the undergrowth. Having no predators makes things a lot easier for this little bear but his mother worries about what he will do when he is old enough to leave home. Their habitat is getting much too small with people developing all around making it impossible to get from one side of their territory to the other.
The national treasure of China, this cuddly-looking black and white bear has been a symbol of conservation for decades. Living in the temperate forests of the mountains of China, they spend 12 hours of their day eating bamboo, 26-84 pounds of it. It has elongated wrist bones, similar to thumbs, which have developed specifically for the task of plucking stalks. Even though they may appear to be sedentary animals they are actually very good climbers and swimmers.
For most people, the only way to see a panda is in a zoo. Because of their iconic black and white markings, they become invisible in the masses of bamboo they hide in. Pandas are solitary creatures with an incredible sense of smell to help them to avoid one another. The only time they come together is to mate. Mating in captivity has been notoriously difficult with a natural mating now very rare. Incredibly, while the world sat in lockdown, two pandas finally found themselves in the mood. Maybe all they needed was a little privacy!
A mother will give birth to one or two cubs but she can only take care of one. These babies are born blind, cannot crawl, and are pink with little white hairs. The tiny baby is completely helpless and nurses 6-14 times a day in sessions up to half an hour long. Occasionally the mother will need to leave the den for a few hours to feed where she leaves her baby defenceless. They will start to develop their iconic black and white look a month after they are born. At about 2 ½ months old the mother will start to play and wrestle with her cub and feed it small amounts of bamboo but it will keep drinking her milk for a year. The family will stay together for about 2 years after which the cub will head out to find its own territory.
Giant pandas were rapidly heading towards extinction. But with a huge push for conservation efforts in the '60s, the giant panda has moved from the classification of rare to vulnerable, now with around 1,800 in the wild. 67 panda reserves in China protect around two-thirds of the giant pandas in the wild and more than 50% of the giant panda's habitat. This is important as one of the biggest threats still facing the panda is habitat loss. Development for dams, roads, and railways are fragmenting the panda's habitats making it difficult for them to find potential mates and more bamboo.

Description At 3 months old this little boy is finally old enough to follow his mother out on a hunt. Picking their way through the jungles of India, they search for something to at. He stays as quiet as a can, fighting the urge to playfully launch himself at his mothers swinging tail. But after hours of searching the have found nothing. They see a farm up ahead with plenty of animals, but the leopard cub can feel his mothers unease. It’s dangerous taking from the humans but this time, it seems they have no choice.
The smallest of the large cats may be one of the most adaptable, the leopard can live in almost any type of habitat, from deserts to swamps. They are solitary creatures who spend their days sleeping and their night's hunting, using their spotted “rosette” coat as camouflage, blending in with the leaves of trees.
They spend a decent amount of their time in trees being very capable climbers. They will even drag their prey, which can sometimes way more than they do, up to protect it from other scavenging animals. They are quite happy to eat whatever comes their way, from a gazelle to a cheetah cub, or even a snake.
Leopards usually give birth to at least two cubs who are small and grey with barely visible spots. They are completely helpless and the mother needs to move them to different safe locations until they can start playing and learning to hunt. It is a very dangerous time for a leopard as cubs have a mortality rate of 41-50% in their first year. They are threatened by different predators but their biggest threat is other leopards. At about 3 months old the cubs can follow their mother on hunts at one year old can hunt for themselves. They will stay with her for about 2 years.
The biggest threat to leopards is habitat loss and fragmentation with their forested homes being turned into agricultural land. In Africa alone, it has been estimated that 66% of their range is gone due to human expansion. This in turn reduces their natural prey, forcing them to look to livestock which has deep repercussions when the farmers retaliate. They are also a target for trophy hunters and poachers. Their coats are a coveted item on the illegal wildlife trade as are its bones.

Description This 8-month-old polar bear is out of his warm den and having the best of time. He and his sister have been snuggled up with their mother over the winter and are now thrilled to be able to play, tumbling and wrestling with each other in a game that will teach them crucial skills to defend themselves. But his mother is worried. Every year she has seen the sea ice declining further and further. She worries about her cubs and how they will find food without coming into contact with humans.
A descendent of the brown bear, the polar bear is the only bear who is considered a marine mammal. They spend so much time on the freezing sea ice and are completely dependent on the ocean for both it’s food and habitat. They are very strong swimmers with large front paws and slightly webbed back feet and can swim constantly for days at a time. Their thick white fur that is crucial for keeping them warm is not white, but translucent, reflecting the snow around them which gives it it’s colour. Their skin on the other hand is black.
Polar bears live solitary lives, learning all the skills necessary with their mother and sibling (usually polar bears give birth to twins) before heading out on their own. The mother will usually give birth in winter, digging a den deep in a snowdrift to protect her cubs and give them some insulation from the freezing outdoors. The mother started her winter in hibernation and once her cubs are born, she continues to fast while still feeding her cubs on milk. When the weather starts to warm the mother will break out of the den, feeding on any vegetation while her cubs play, getting used to using their legs for walking. When they are ready, they will start the long walk to the sea ice where the mother can hunt for seal. The cubs will stay with her for 28 months before she chases them away, forcing them to become independent.
Despite their stereotype for being aggressive, the polar bear is not territorial and will often choose to run away rather than fight. Polar bears will usually only attack if they are severely provoked or hungry. This doesn’t mean they aren’t dangerous. The largest of all bears, this is not an animal you would want to cross.
But with Arctic sea ice cover declining by about 14% per decade, the polar bear is coming into trouble. With less sea ice to hunt on, polar bears are forced into areas inhabited by humans to search for food. This can be dangerous for both bear and human. They are also threatened by our industrial exploits that are becoming more and more frequent in the Arctic, the hunt for oil. Not only is this a disturbance and taking away more of their homes, but an oil spill could also be devastating for them as well as the entire ecosystem. It is so important to look for alternatives to help protect these precious bears and all the other animals who call this wintery wonderland home.
This cub is ready to explore his snowy home. He has been tucked in a den for winter and now it’s time for him to play and get used to his legs before his long walk to the sea ice. His biggest threats are other polar bears who may try to kill him and habitat loss from the warming temperatures, leaving his species vulnerable. #wildaboutbabies #lovethelast

Description
It’s not only humans who grieve, chimpanzees do to which has opened up a whole avenue of research and understanding into the emotions of many different animals. With the death of a loved one, chimps have been observed acting very human-like in their mourning.
The important bonds between chimpanzees can also be seen when the grieve for their dead. Those who were closest to the deceased are visibly more upset and spend a lot more time in the process of mourning. Mothers will carry their dead babies around; others will groom their friend. This shows their diverse and complex emotions, and most importantly, their ability to love.

Description
Considered far superior to any other creature, the manipulation and use of tools was considered an innately human quality. So, when researchers observed a chimpanzee ripping off the leaves from a carefully chosen twig and using it to fish for termites, it sent the scientific community reeling. ”
Tool use could also point to a common ancestor between chimps and humans. It had commonly been thought that chimps could be imitating humans who used hammers to cut open fruit. But when a 4,300 year-old chimpanzee settlement was found on the Ivory Coast this theory could be safely tossed. Not only does the evidence show that chimps learnt to use and make stone tools themselves, but it also suggests that this behaviour was inherited from our common ancestor millions of years ago!
Chimpanzees use various tools for different purposes. The most famous of course is termite fishing. But the also use stones to crack nuts, chew leaves to act as sponges to suck up hard to reach water, and spears for hunting.

Description
Chimpanzees spend a good amount of their time foraging. Their diet is mainly made up of fruit but also leaves, leaf buds, seeds, blossoms, stems, pith, bark, and resin. A study found that 64.5% of their time was spent solely on fruit! They have also been known to eat honey, soil, insects, birds, eggs, and small primates.
Foraging is also used as a way to build cohesion within the community. They can often work together when it comes to foraging, alerting their peers to a tree with fruit and sharing the bounty with everyone. Of course, there are times when chimps can be a bit selfish when it comes to food and aren’t the best at sharing.
It was also found that chimps have begun to adapt the way they forage, choosing to stay in mature primary forests rather than moving into areas where there are humans. This could be because of bad experiences when they have come across humans who can often react negatively when chimps come into their settlements. In desperate times chimps have come into villages searching for food, mainly to grab easy to grab items such as fruit. In the worst, most desperate situations, they have been known to grab small children. For these actions, the village will often kill the chimp to stop it happening again. Unfortunately, with deforestation and human expansion, these conflicts are something that will keep occurring unless we give the chimps more space to thrive.

Description
Chimps are very good at throwing things and there are many reasons why they might do it. Males throw rocks and even spears as a display of dominance. Sometimes they might throw a rock just because they’re frustrated or annoyed.
But some chimps like to throw rocks at trees, often the same trees, which caused a build-up of rocks at the base. Scientists have suggested this may be a ritual of a kind, others think that some trees give a much nicer ‘thunk’ sound when hit. Some researchers have suggested that the best throwers actually have the most developed brains!
In captivity, they have been known to throw their faeces. This is because of the stress and agitation of captivity and the lack of diverse objects they would normally have had in their wild environments. Because they are often not allowed rocks and branches in their enclosures (for this very reason) they look for something to vent their frustration, poo often being nice and handy.

Description
Grooming is an incredibly important part of chimp life. Not only is it important to stay clean and tidy, but it’s also a fantastic way to strengthen bonds, build alliances, and relax. Chimps can spend a few minutes and even up to a few hours grooming each other, maintaining friendly ties between the community.
To groom, a chimp will remove all dirt, plants, dry skin, and insects from another. In a way, it is a bit like getting a massage or taking a nice bath and is a very relaxing process for the chimp being pampered. Using one hand to part the hair, the chimp will use its other hand and occasionally teeth to remove the unwanted materials.
Grooming is also used to calm a chimp down when it becomes stressed. Infants are groomed during weaning; adults can be groomed to make up after a conflict. Smaller males who could never rely on physical attacks use grooming to build alliances in the community to protect themselves from larger males.

Description Just like us, chimps can find the funny side to things. It is a natural behaviour and young chimps typically start to display this behaviour between 12 to 16 weeks. Laughing is a sign of empathy and is considered to show intelligence. This has disproved a quote by Aristotle that “only the human animal laughs.” It is important to understand these diverse emotions in other animals to know that it is not just us who feel.
When looking at the facial composition during laughter the muscles of a chimp and ourselves are very similar. This could tell us that laughter evolved from our common ancestor with our smiles evolving 5 million years ago!

Description
Chimpanzees make their nests in the trees, bending down branches and leaves to make a comfortable leafy bed. High above any predators, chimps can feel safe while they get some shuteye, about 8-9 hours every night (similar to us).
They can be quite fussy about the trees they choose. The branches need to be extremely durable with no risk of them snapping and sending the chimp on an uncomfortable and potentially deadly plummet. A study in Uganda found that chimps loved to build their nests in a tree called the Ugandan ironwood, a very rare tree that only made up 9.6% of the trees in the area. Even so, 7 out of 10 times the chimps would seek them out.
All great apes, including us, are very unique in the fact that we build sleeping platforms or beds. Other primates don’t put in nearly as much effort, electing to fall asleep on branches. This shift to bed making happened sometime between 23-5 million years ago with the purpose of giving us a better night’s sleep. With more time in REM sleep, it improves cognition and memory, very important for our big brains!

Description
Chimpanzees are not always peaceful. Conflicts can often arise, from minor issues such as who gets the food to large scale warfare. This can be incredibly violent and chimps can even be killed in the process.
Conflict within communities can happen and alliances are important. When a male is trying to overthrow the alpha, things can get violent. With support from other males in the community, the ambitious males can lead great acts of charging to intimidate.

Description
Chimps have two arms and two legs, yet unlike us, they tend to prefer walking on all fours, making them quadrupedal. Just like us, they have opposable thumbs which they also have on their feet too, known as opposable toes (handy!) To help with walking on all fours, their arms and legs are the same lengths. They bend their long fingers under and walk on their knuckles, yet walk on the sole of their foot. Walking like this makes it easier to climb trees and carry around small it's of food in their knuckles as they wander about.
There are many theories about the evolution of knuckle-walking. Some argue that it originated from fist walking seen in orangutans which adapted for a more terrestrial life, rather than one predominantly in the trees. Others suggest that they may have come from a bipedal ancestor which explains why they also walk bipedally on occasion. Whatever the truth, chimpanzees have adapted to their life on their knuckles very well.

Description
Chimpanzees are very adept at being in trees. It is a very important skill for them to have as they spend a good amount of time up there, sleeping, eating, and being a lookout. It is a skill they must perfect from a young age which is often encouraged in play, for example being chased up a tree by an older chimp.
Chimpanzees are physically made for tree climbing. Their curved fingers and toes make it much easier for them to grasp onto branches, a trait that we lost a long time ago. An interesting study of a young chimp who was purchased in the 1930s and raised like a human child showed how the curve remained, despite never having been able to climb a tree (poor chimp).

Description
Play is a very important part of any animal, even us! It helps us to learn important skills, build bonds, and to have fun. Chimps are no different and they are very similar to young humans when they play. They’re so similar they would probably have a great time if they were to play together!
While the majority of play is with young chimps, adults also like some fun, often joining in to play with younger members of their community. They wrestle, chase each other, and many other fun activities. Being chased up a tree is very good practice to develop their tree climbing skills. They also play with the tools used by the older chimps, using play to learn how to use them.
Chimps also have another very human characteristic when it comes to play, they laugh. They have what is called a ‘play-pant’ and if you didn’t know any better you could easily mistake it for laughter. Whether they’re being tickled or chased it can be great fun and their face cracks a huge smile. If things get a bit scary the baby can scream and mum will come running to save the day!

Description
Imitation is a very important skill for learning. Young will copy the actions of those around them as they learn how to do things and react to stimuli. Chimpanzee are no different. But this is not a skill that all apes have, in fact, most apes are terrible at it. This just goes to show how close we are to our cousins.
Young chimps will often imitate as they learn how to use tools, how to climb, how to make a nest. A young chimpanzee will often be seen pulling leafy sticks down like their mother will when its time to build a nest. By observing their community and copying, young chimps will be able to learn all the skills necessary for survival.
Imitation is also seen on a spontaneous level. Chimps have been seen to catch yawns, just like we do. This has always been known as a sign of empathy. But it’s not just yawns, like human babies, chimps will mimic any facial expression. These sorts of imitations are not about learning any new skills, its more about social bonding.

Description
Chimpanzees have their own complex system of communication. They may not do it verbally like us, but they sure can be vocal! They also have many facial expressions to convey their messages. This ability to communicate shows a higher level of intelligence.
Chimpanzees use over 30 different vocalisations for different situations. Some of these we would even recognise as similar our own, like a scream when they’re scared or angry, a whimper when distressed, and even a grunt of satisfaction with good food.
Non-verbal communication is also very important. Touch such as holding hands and grooming is incredibly important to show love, support, and build special bonds. They also have very expressive faces. When they’re nervous they will crack what looks like a big toothy smile, smile when they’re happy, when they’re playing, they relax and open their mouth, and they even pout when under threat, begging, or searching for their mothers!

Description
The pan-hoot is a complex long-distance vocalisation for chimps. It can be separated into four distinct groups: introduction, build-up, climax and let-down. They start soft and low, getting faster in the build-up, becomes very loud and high, like a scream, then back down to a similar rate of the build-up to finally finish.
The pan-hoot is done by both male and females with the most frequent hooters being high-ranking males. It is commonly joined by other males to produce a chorus of call, but it can be an individual hoot too.
Hooting is done for many reasons. Chorusing is used to form cohesive groups of males and show dominance and strength. But chimps also hoot hen they see a fruit tree laden with delicious snacks, calling the others to come and join them. It is also a good way to communicate who you are, where you are, and to help distinguish who is in the group.
