The chimpanzee is intelligent and its architecture are much like humans. They live and hunt in groups or together when needed. However, the chimpanzee and a large food source may also enjoy both fruit and insects. In it you will find all information about the Chimpanzee.

The rear of the Chimpanzee is bare and the females often pink and swollen, especially at certain times of her menstrual cycle.

Character and age

Chimpanzees are an average of 45 to 50 years old. Chimpanzees are sexually mature between 10 and 13 years. The oldest chimpanzee in the Netherlands is 50 years and has been living since 1971 in Burger's zoo.

Usually from the chimpanzee has the following characteristics:

* dominant

* intelligent

* useful

* friendly

* Social

Anthropoid ape

The Chimpanzee is an ancient type of ape that is very similar to humans. At first Chimpanzees are very intelligent and can teach them anything. It Chimpanzees have no tail and they can just like humans walk on two legs. The DNA of a chimpanzee and humans is about 96 to 99% match. There has never been scientifically tested or a chimpanzee with a man, to cross. However, there is a special one chimpanzee named Oliver.

He traveled with a circus and was not an ordinary chimpanzee. Oliver came up to, was assured a seat and he preferred dealing with people than with other monkeys. Oliver was also somewhat different in appearance: Oliver had more pointed ears, a smaller chin and less hair than normal chimpanzee.

There are several statements about his features:

* Bestiality / zoöseksualiteit (ie a man who has sex with an animal)

* Or an intersection with another ape

No one has the strange characteristics Oliver really learned. In 1996 Oliver into a retirement center for Chimpanzees charged. There is Oliver reviewed, there is no evidence that Oliver would be crossed with a man.

Behavior in the wild

Chimpanzees live in forests / jungles with a warm climate, especially in Africa. Chimpanzees previously had a very wide range and they were still in fairly open areas as long as there were some trees.

Chimpanzees Today, fewer choices, since people often illegal logging of trees in those areas. Chimpanzees do not take shelter from rain, but for people. The Chimpanzees try as far away from civilization to continue.

Chimpanzees build at least 6 meters from the ground a nest in the evening. This litter consists of simple leaves and branches. Chimpanzees sleep in there alone, or with their young. The Chimpanzees build the nest at least 6 meters away from the ground so they can not easily be caught by enemies.

Chimpanzees live in groups of 25 to 60 species. It then created small groups which are a male in charge. These groups have their own territory by both sexes will defend. Especially the males are very aggressive to outsiders and is even able to kill them. Foreign female Chimpanzees are often in their estrus admitted. Themselves in groups will often by men who fought the leader. Usually this is accompanied by a lot of screaming and macho behavior.

Food

Sometimes it happens that a group of adult male chimpanzees go out to hunt small animals such as:

* smaller monkeys (red colobus monkeys and baboons)

* Young antelope

* boar

* birds

The chimpanzee is not exactly one of the fastest monkey species. This would easily escape colobus monkeys. Hence, the chimpanzees hunt in groups, they sneak into the prey, and then treat them with many people simultaneously to the Fringe Apes to close all this happened with a lot of screaming and yelling. The Chimpanzees do know about 30 different sounds, thus they know exactly who is in which position is reached.

Meat outside the monkeys also use greens such as:

* fruit

* Browse

* nuts

* bark

* stems

* blossom

Chimpanzees eat about four hours fruit, usually in the morning. Chimpanzees remember which fruits are many tree and celebrate them noisy EAP, so know the rest of the chimpanzee also that something to be gained.
Chimpanzees are all eaters are actually called, so they sometimes eat insects such as, larvae, ants and termites.

In order to use their food to be handed monkey tricks, they use sticks to obtain food. A sprig of them strip the rest of the twigs, so they keep on a bare twig. The twig stabbing them in a termite nest, wait until the chimps a lot on the stick then sits and nibbles on the termites.

Something clever that Chimpanzees may pick medicinal plants. If a chimpanzee is not like eating he / she plants that they normally would never eat but they know what the right ones to get better.
