For example, tool usage is learned between generations within chimpanzee troupes. One troupe of chimpanzees may exhibit a learned behavior unique from another troupe of chimpanzees, such as various tool usage. Some chimpanzee troupes have been observed consuming aspilia.^[1] Possibly for medicinal purposes, because it has been seen to remove intestinal parasites, and is otherwise unpalatable.^{[citation needed]}
