Several research theories claim that the IQ of chimps is estimated to be close to a human toddler. They can use various cognitive skills.
Chimps are believed to be the closest relative of humans. There are several instances showing a close bond between chimps and humans. In this internet age, several videos of chimpanzees can be found in which they exhibit their skills.
Recently, a video surfaced on social media in which a chimp can be seen seeking help from a man in the wild to drink water. Moreover, after drinking water, the chimp washes the hands of the man.
In the viral video, the chimp can be seen stretching out its hands to a man. As the man stretches out his hand, the chimp immediately holds it and pulls him down. Later, the primate holds the other hand and joins it with the other. The primate then lowers the joined hands into a flowing water stream and collects some water.
After drinking the collected water, the chimp takes some water in its hand and washes the man’s hands. The chimp makes sure to wash his hands precisely.
