Chimpanzee Parenting Skills Go Viral

While humans are often regarded as the most intelligent species on the planet, a recent viral clip raises questions about our parenting skills. The footage features a group of chimpanzees in a zoo, perched on a rocky structure resembling a cave.

Among the visible chimps, one particularly stands out—not for being calm, but for its playful antics. Instead of quietly observing, this young chimp starts tossing stones at onlookers.

In response, an older chimp, likely its mother, approaches from behind, appearing to correct the young one's behavior. Armed with a stick, the elder chimp gently taps the mischievous one, creating a scene reminiscent of human parenting.

The audience watching this unfold can't help but laugh, many reminiscing about their own childhood reprimands.

One viewer humorously remarked, 'Better parenting than so many humans.' Another added, 'She was like, ‘Hell nah, they paid to see us.'
