They crack open nuts by using a rock and a hard platform. They can also throw things at enemies or use sticks to fight. Chimps also learn tool use from each other.

Chimps 'fish' for them with a long blade of grass, a thin piece of vine or twig, modifying it if necessary. It dips this into a hole dug into the wall of the termite mound. Migratory driver ants are collected in the same way. Chimps and bonobos feed lazily in the morning, but more intensively in the afternoon, and sometimes into the early evening. Like other apes, they build a sleeping nest in a tree, usually 6-25m above the ground, safe from predators.
