Chimps love babies. When a baby is born in the chimp community, it causes a lot of excitement. Older chimps are very patient with the playful youngsters. They even let the babies jump on them!

When a chimp baby is born, it weighs 1.25 - 2 kg (3 to 4 pounds). How much did you weigh when you were born?

Baby chimps drink mother's milk and share her nest until they are 4 or 5 years old.

They remain close to their mothers throughout their lives. Just like human babies, chimp babies grow stronger and smarter by playing and exploring.
