Through this study, we aimed to determine whether a group of chimpanzees modified probing tools in order to extract viscous foods (akin to 'fluid dip') from a novel 'artificial termite mound' in their enclosure and, if so, to identify under what circumstances they modified tools for fluid dipping behaviors.
