Interesting findings about chimp's sleeping place

Scientists from North Carolina State University were surprised to find chimpanzees keeping their sleeping areas cleaner than human beds.

The sleeping place of the chimp is cleaner than the human.

When studying the biodiversity of living bacteria, the researchers studied a sample of 41 chimpanzees, an animal that is one of the closest "relatives" of humans.

The chimp's sleeping spot is different by many types of bacteria, for example, from the leaves of the tree that the monkeys spend the night. But the bacteria are "dirty" from their bodies such as saliva, skin or stool, which are much less in this "bed" , unlike in humans.

The head of the study, Megan Tommes, said: "In fact, we did not find such" dirty "bacteria in chimpanzee's nests, which made us quite surprised. For example, 35% of bacteria are from their bodies. "

Tommes said that the "bed" of chimpanzees was cleaner, because every day they arranged "cleaning" for their overnight place.
