Online Presentation from Jane Goodall

Our class was lucky enough to participate in an online class presented by Jane Goodall, the famous primatologist who is known for living with chimpanzees.  Our class learned about how Goodall became interested in animals at a young age. She decided to go to Tanzania in Africa to live in the same area as chimpanzees to observe them and learn about their behaviors. They are the closest relative to humans and we share much of our DNA. She was fascinated to learn that they are able to create and use tools. For example, they are able to use sticks to puncture bee hives and as spoons to scoop out honey. They also use them to stick into trees to fish out termites to eat. This was a wonderful opportunity and we have learned so much!
