Chimpanzee
(Pan troglodytes)

 

 Wild chimpanzees have demonstrated the most extensive tool manufacture and use of all the great apes, except for humans. Chimpanzees use a variety of techniques to manufacture and use tools, including modifying twigs or grassy stems to fish for termites, using an anvil and stone hammer to crack open nuts, and chewing a bunch of leaves to use as a sponge to obtain water.
