Chimpanzees are kind of amazing

August 29, 2013 by Elizabeth

If we’re being honest, we have to admit that chimpanzees are cooler than us in many ways. Some of the chimpanzee attributes I’m most envious of are their superior strength, their amazing feet, and their flexibility, as demonstrated below.

    I wish I could scratch my chin with my toes. I was surprised the ease at which they climb on the structures you built for them despite their age and the fact that most of their lives were confined in small cages. The flexibility of their joints explains why they have no problems running climbing and jumping.

    If I were to do that I would fall on my butt. They also have great balance.
