New study shows mother chimps play with their offspring through good times and bad

When it comes to nurturing their young‚ mother chimpanzees go the extra mile‚ according to a new study. Using 10 years of observational data on wild chimpanzees‚ researchers found that while adults often play‚ and young chimps play a lot‚ when food gets scarce‚ the adults put mutual play aside and focus on survival.
