They learn lots of things, but basically these are some of them:
- How to use tools, like how to make and use rods for termite fishing. Daughters are especially good at learning this from their mothers.
- Which trees produce good fruit and which have good leaves, where they are in their range and when they fruit.
- How to make a nest to sleep in.
- The social ranks and "attitudes" of everyone else in the group and how to operate in a social group.
- What their range is and where the neighboring communities are.
- How to contest for status---e.g. learning how to fight by playing and how to use coalitions.
- How to hunt, maybe? Not really sure how much is innate and how much is learned of this.
They probably learn lots of other more mundane things too.
Young chimpanzees learn mainly by copying what they see their mothers, and other members of the group, does.
young chimp
Never. Chimpanzees can not give birth to young cows (a calf).
Mother chimp teaches its young various survival skills such as finding food, building nests, and social behaviors within their group. They also provide protection and guidance to help them navigate their environment and interact with other members of the group.
they lick them
hunting
The chimpanzee teaches its chimp to stay safe, to groom, to behave according to the community, and to gather food.
Chimpanzee mothers teach their young how to survive and thrive as members of their species. Like human babies, chimp babies imitate their mother, and that is how they learn. When they are old enough, baby chimps are taught how to hunt for food, how to avoid predators, how to find water, etc. Baby chimps also learn the social hierarchy, such as how to show respect for older chimps, proper ways to show affection for others, and how to handle unfriendly chimps (how to deal with conflict).

the same way our parents teach us valuable life skills. by showing us how to do it.
In many movies, such as "Bambi", the mother animals teach their young how to survive but in reality, the animals are born with a natural instinct to protect themselves.
Mother Teresa built a school in the slums to teach young children who couldn't go to school.
