Chimpanzees of Bossou

Nature

In Bossou, near Lola in forest Guinea, a small community of chimpanzees has been studied by primatologists since the 1970s. They are famous worldwide for their use of tools: they break palm nuts between two stones, like a hammer and an anvil. They are observed in the forest with the village guides, who know each individual. A rare encounter, to live in silence and respect of the site's instructions.
