Important information

Speaking of evolution, the ape species has similar basic body structures to ours, high intelligence and can even exhibit human-like behavior. For example, chimpanzees, which are closest to humans genetically, can create simple tools and use them effectively. The apes & monkeys wall mural entitled "Jungle Jim with Cheetah" even demonstrates how one of them interacts with a human being, using the same means. Apes also possess advanced cognitive and language skills, although they can't speak like humans, but they can use sign language and other bodily movements to communicate with humans effectively. Communication skills help gorillas, chimps and bonobos develop complex social groups and even exhibit some aspects of culture. Like humans, apes can think and solve problems in their environments. "Family Fun" is an apes & monkeys wall mural that perfectly illustrates that. This beautiful motif can look as good in the living room at home as it can at the break room in the office.
