Jane Goodall Coloring Page

Jane Goodall was born in London in 1934, and when she was a year old her father gave her a toy chimpanzee. In 1960, at the age of 26 and with no science degree, she traveled to Gombe in Tanzania to study wild chimpanzees. She went on to earn a PhD from Cambridge.

She watched chimps strip leaves off twigs and use them to fish termites out of their mounds, which surprised scientists who thought only humans made tools. She gave the chimps names, like David Greybeard, instead of numbers. She spent the rest of her life speaking up for wildlife and the environment, until she died in 2025 at the age of 91.
