How do baby chimpanzees build their nest? | AI

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.

Chip moms are the best. She has all the natural motherhood instincts God could give.

I do like the content here but it could use narration. I watch and listen to youtube mostly because I have difficulties with reading. Trying to watch what's happening while constantly pausing to read would take hours to get through just a few minutes of content. I'm glad other people have the ability to learn this way. I'm just not one of them. Peace to all. Thanks anyway.

Or heavy contrast, I could read along but the words are so light on the text it's a struggle

t would have been nice to read the text that goes along with the video.

Beautiful video! Thank you for sharing ❗

Thanks for such a fascinating video! I love "fun" learning. Do all great apes nest build? What is the usual time span to learn such a skill. I know it takes years to adequately learn some forms of tool making. Thx again.

I know Orangutans also build a new nest every evening and sometimes what they call a day nest.

Yeah, they all nest. Some in trees and some on the ground. Wild chimps use only specific plants for nest materials but they are kind of sloppy.
Orangutans are pretty serious about nests and the build a new one every day for napping in but they’ll often reuse their night nests.
Gorillas don’t care. They nest where and with whatever they feel like.
Nest building takes months to learn and a lifetime to master. They experiment and improve their nest building their entire lives.

@@StoneInMySandal do you know why chimps don't reuse their nest?
