In Senegal, a troop of chimpanzees seek shade in a cave, a behavior never recorded before.

In Senegal a troop of critically endangered West African chimpanzees seek shade in a cave to avoid the savanna temperatures which at the peak of the dry season push the chimps to their limits. This is a behavior never recorded before, and as with many precious resources, when the whole troop arrives, tempers can flare. As the climate continues to warm their limits will be pushed even further.
