Wild Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) Use Tools to Access Out of Reach Water
The use of tools to drink water is well-documented in wild chimpanzees, but the specific function of this behavior is unclear. Here we use a large data set of drinking behaviors spanning 14 years of ....

Tufted gray langurs (Semnopithecus priam), also called Madras gray and Coromandel sacred langurs, are native to Sri Lanka and India. They dine on leaves, fruits, and flowers, and enjoy occasional handouts. At risk due to hunting, habitat loss, and the pet trade. Listed as Near Threatened.

Collins’ squirrel monkeys (Saimiri collinsi) are native to eastern Amazonia Brazil. A resilient species, able to maintain small populations in intensely fragmented areas that experience direct human impact. Group sizes average 50 individuals within intact forests. Least Concern.

Bearded capuchins (Sapajus libidinosus), also called black-striped capuchins, famously use stones to open hard shells of palm nuts to expose the kernel within. Securing a nut on an ersatz “anvil,” they smash it with a carefully curated stone—an example of tool use. Listed as Near Threatened.
