Chimpanzee uses a stick to investigate a camera in Batéké Plateau National Park, Gabon
A curious Endangered female chimpanzee uses a stick to investigate a camera in a remote area of Batéké Plateau National Park, Gabon. Captured on January 27, 2025, by ANPN, Panthera and Gaboma Multimedia and Production, this video is the first-ever known footage and evidence of chimpanzees using tools from this region of Gabon.
Panthera and Gabon’s National Park Agency (ANPN) collaborate to monitor wildlife, support anti-poaching patrols, improve infrastructure, and promote alternative livelihoods to reduce illegal hunting in the park. The video is part of this partnership, along with efforts from Gaboma Multimedia and Production.
