The chimpanzees are the closest living relatives of humans in the animal kingdom. Another proof of this comes from a video, which “captured” a likeable mammal washing clothes with soap and water.
The impressive mental abilities of this animal have often been tested. It is not news that humans and chimpanzees share 98.8% of their DNA. Thus, many common actions have been observed, such as the use of tools to make their lives easier …
However, chimpanzees do not need clothing – at least not yet. So, it is surprising that one of them proceeds to an action that is not so useful to him, but is an imitation of human energies.
In this short video, the likeable chimpanzee appears to be washing a yellow T-shirt properly. First he spread the clothes with his hands, then he took the soap that was dipped in water and started the lunch. In fact, after first rubbing the fabric, he then used the water to rinse it.
