What do you call a baby monkey?

A chimp off the old block.

Did You Know?

The phrase "chip off the old block" dates back to the 1600s and means a child who resembles their parent in personality or behavior. Baby chimpanzees actually do learn by copying their parents - they watch how to use tools, find food, and interact socially. The resemblance between chimp parents and babies is often remarkably strong!
