The apes called chimpanzees are closely related to humans. These intelligent primates share many characteristics with their human counterparts, including sympathy, grief, and curiosity. They can solve problems and even use some tools. They also share another feature with us: they can be dangerous. Chimps are known to attack each other, and even people, with deadly results. This book answers why these mostly gentle creatures can turn violent and the dangers they face in their native habitats that have led to their endangered status. Arresting photographs and stunning facts make this high-interest volume especially appealing.
