Investigative guides which reveal amazing facts about members of the animal kingdom. In this episode, the focus is on five-month-old Charlie, a chimpanzee living in Tanzania's Gombe National Park.

He lives with his mother, father and brother Chauncey, but his family are part of a wider chimpanzee community of around 50 members. Chimpanzees are the most intelligent of all non-human primates, so Charlie has a lot to learn including making and using tools for cracking palm nuts and fishing for termites.

He has to learn which foods have to be collected and which have to be hunted. Growing up in this part of Africa, he is surrounded by other animals, some of which can be great friends and playmates like young baboons, but some like the leopard are fearsome enemies. There is a lot for a young chimpanzee to learn!
