Explanation of Solution

Cognitive behavior is a behavior used by animals to solve the problem by thinking, reasoning and processing information to understand complex concepts. Humans use cognitive behavior when they have to solve any problem. Some experiments showed that chimpanzees and ravens also exhibit cognitive behavior. Chimpanzee picks up a glass blade to stick it into an ant hole and when the chimpanzee pulls out the grass blade it has an ant on it which is eaten by the chimpanzee. Chimpanzee continues this process because it is an easier way to get ants. This shows that chimpanzee thinks and solves the problem thus, this proves that chimpanzees have a cognitive behavior in them.

Conclusion

Chimpanzees have a cognitive behavior in them which makes them think and solve the problems to make it easier.
