Utamu: Path to Motherhood “Chimpanzee Groups”

Chimpanzees are extremely social animals. They live in groups with multiple males and multiple females, and these communities can reach over 100 individuals! During the day, different sub-groups will break off to search for food and socialize, and then come back at night to join the rest of the community. This is called fission-fusion. Our chimps at the Saint Louis Zoo are no different!
