It turns out that chimps are good at recognizing other chimps, but they just don’t recognize each other by face, they also recognize each other’s bums! Yes, you read that right, a chimp can place another chimp they know in a photo just by seeing their face, or their behind!
You can read the full story of how chimps are able to recognize each other by face or bum on the National Geograhic website. As always, animals are amazingly smart! It’s about time we are starting to acknowledge it!
I know my Mommy by her face…I would never smell her bum, I’d get in trouble!
