Chimpanzees Dig for Fresh Water
We follow Jill Pruetz through the dry Senegalese landscape of Fongoli. Tracking alongside the local troop of critically endangered western chimpanzees, as they walk for miles to find water. Once at the dried riverbed, the chimps dig to find fresher water, this is one of the only groups in the world that does this.
