Great Apes
Chimpanzee Mother and Child
Maternal bonds are a critical part of chimpanzee development. This video looks at Fifi, one of Gombe's most successful mothers, and how she cared for and nurtured her offspring.
An Adventure for Golden and Glitter
Gombe's twin females are an adventurous pair with a taste for flying termites.
Tool Use
Jane Goodall's discovery that chimpanzees make and use tools changed the way scientists defined Man. The Gombe chimpanzees fashion several kinds of tools, including probes for "fishing" termites out of mounds.
