Experts have found that monkeys can swim and dive like humans. | Awesome Science

Experts have found that monkeys can swim and dive like humans. Their movements in water can be more complex than those of other land mammals.

It is known that in the wild, monkeys are afraid of water and almost always die in a body of water. Using this fact, many zoos have long used ditches filled with water around the primate habitat.

Scientists at Wits University taught chimpanzees to swim and let them into the pool. In the water, the chimpanzees made sweeping movements that resembled those of a Brassist swimmer.
