Gombe was where Dr. Jane once famously observed chimpanzees making and using tools. But she also observed another very interesting chimpanzee behaviour while there – at the onset of storms, they would make dramatic and rhythmic displays involving charging, branch dragging, and swaying motions. This "rain dance" isn't part of aggression or mating rituals, but seems to occur in response to heavy rains, thunder, or waterfalls. Researchers hypothesize that this behaviour could reflect emotional resp

Over 60 years ago, Dr. Jane Goodall made a groundbreaking observation: She watched a wild chimpanzee she named David Greybeard skillfully using a twig to "fish" for termites, forever changing how we see ourselves in relation to other animals. 🐵🍂 This behavior, known as termite fishing, involves chimps selecting a branch, stripping the leaves, and using it to extract nutritious termites from mounds. Jane's discovery had profound implications for science: It revealed chimpanzees' complex intelli
