Apes, like humans, display remarkable intelligence. An astonishing fact is that some apes use tools to fish for food. For instance, chimpanzees have been observed fashioning sticks into fishing tools to extract termites from their mounds. They skillfully insert the tools into termite nests and then enjoy a tasty treat. This behavior shows their ability to plan, create tools, and adapt to their environment. It highlights the surprising similarity between ape behaviors and early human advancements, shedding light on the shared evolutionary history of primates.
