Video showing two baby chimps playing and the chimpanzee family exploring their habitat at Chester Zoo in England. Play for Young chimps is crucial for their development, helping them build physical and social skills. Adult chimps frequently engage in play as well, which can take the form of gentle interactions like grooming to more rough-and-tumble games like mock biting, wrestling, and chasing.

Chester Zoo is home to a troop of chimpanzees, including critically endangered western chimpanzees. Their home is a indoor enclosure called the Roundhouse, which is connected to a moated, outdoor island for the chimps to explore and climb.
