Chimpanzee Hand Puppet - Hansa Creation

In puppet play, the chimpanzee hand puppet by Hansa Creation can quickly become part of small stories. It is well suited to storytelling, puppet theatre and imaginative role play. New ideas often develop naturally during play.

The chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) inhabits the rainforests and savannahs of West and Central Africa. It shares 98.7 per cent of its DNA with humans and is our closest living relative. Chimpanzees use over 20 different tools, have individual personalities and can learn sign language. They live in complex social groups of 20 to 150 individuals.

Did you know that chimpanzees deliberately use medicinal plants? Researchers have observed them swallowing specific leaves that kill intestinal parasites — they diagnose their ailments and self-medicate with the appropriate remedy from the forest.
