I'm watching over the other Chimps today. I am the bodyguard. My nest of twigs and soft leaves is built towards the bottom of the trees, unlike the others. I am the protector. I am seen as strong, and even attractive to the females while I am completing my job as a male. Suddenly, I hear sounds. Branches breaking? I spot some patches of yellow and brown. A leopard. It's a threat. A predator. Our troop is at risk. And it is my duty to protect. I hoot and scream to let the other troop members know that there is danger. Some of us decide to run. Others climb up the trees. With our long and lean arms, swinging across the forest is easy. We can get through this. I know. As we sweep through the whole forest, the creature is confused. He can get to the tops of the forest like us, but we are quicker. Finally accepting defeat, the Leopard retreats, the danger is gone. We are safe. I did my job. I kept everyone safe. And I will continue to do so. We, Chimps don't get attacked a lot, because most of the animals fear us, but it is rare for an attack to take place. Like how it happened now, but we have means of defending too. We will attack if necessary. This time, we didn’t. We will only attack if we can’t escape and have no choice but to face the danger.

The extraordinary species of Chimps creates convenient nests out of soft leaves and twigs high up into trees in order to avoid predators. These nests are used by them at night so they can be fully protected while sleeping. This clever strategy of theirs has shielded them from situations that would have probably resulted in something terrible. A crime scene would’ve been created, and that’s definitely not the way Chimpanzees want to roll. The Chimpanzees above average long arms (1.5 times their height!), are the key to transportation across the forest. Escaping from any threats with those long arms doesn’t even make Chimps break a sweat! Climbing high up into the trees is the perfect effortless method to deal with danger. The majorly clever Chimpanzees are very mindful while picking places for their homes. Their habitat is crowded with trees, which makes it easier for them to climb up and hide in order to protect themselves from land animals. Chimpanzees take massive responsibility for each other and make loud noises in numerous situations to alert their troops so that they can get away from danger even though a lot of their predators can climb trees. Most of the time, Chimpanzees present themselves as a very vigorous animal. They bravely face the danger head on and fight their predators.

As I jump from tree to tree with my gripy hands, I wonder if I will survive. I look around and I see my pack of troops running as well, but they actually found a place to hide. When I look up, I find a vicious hungry Goshawks smirking in the air trying to find me. The frozen trees filled with snow making it a bit harder to climb. My own frosted cold breath is hitting me in the face, temporarily blinding myself but that’s least of my concern right now. I can’t find anywhere to hide, everybody around me is gone, hiding unlike me. I go in full panic mode. I can’t hide anywhere,“My only option is death” I say at the top of my lungs. Then I come out of full panic mode and I remember that this happens so often that I have memorized every hiding location which is pretty handy when it comes to these problems. Such as under this big rock in a hole that I can find in but the Goshawks can't. If for whatever reason I can't find a hiding spot, I am the flash but I climb trees and just a bit fatter then he is but more handsome.

All though I might not be the greatest at hiding and am insanely quick. I am in front of you and before you blink I am gone, almost like a ghost. Unlike that large chimpanzee looking thing, I am lighter than it by 23 kg. That other dude is like a tank. While I am peacefully climbing around, I can feel a giant earthquake coming, as I get closer to the top of the tree. I looked down hoping the ground was not splitting open and it wasn’t. For 5 straight minutes I think to myself what could that be. I couldn't think of anything so I slowly came down. I looked around and saw that caused the earthquake. A large chimpanzee the size of an elephant staring back at me.
