When she was little she dreamed of studying animals and writing about animals. Jane was interested in animals since her father gave her a chicken’s egg to raise when she was a very little girl. From then on she was fascinated by animals and their behavior. Jane Goodall moved to Africa when she was 23 and got a job with Dr. Leakey. He asked her to observe chimpanzees in the wild and write down everything she saw. Jane Goodall started her study in Tanzania in 1960. She helped save the chimps because people were hunting them and destroying their habitats. In 1977 she founded the Jane Goodall Institute. She wrote books about chimps. She wrote many kids books. She started Roots and Shoots a club that helps the community, the animals and the enviorment with hundreds and thousands of young people.

Goodall discovered that chimpanzees have 34 different calls we can identify. They communicate with sound and they can communicate with body postures. She also discovered that they can even make tools out of things around them. The mother chimps have to watch their babies. They get along really well with each other. The ones that spend the most time together are close friends. Jane Goodall discovered through her research of watching chimpanzees in nature that they behave very much like humans.
