[116], A 30-year study at Kyoto University's Primate Research Institute has shown that chimps are able to learn to recognise the numbers 1 to 9 and their values. The foregoing comments refer to the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). A male and female can form a consortship and mate outside their community. Its gestation period is eight months. [4] It is derived from Vili ci-mpenze[5] or Tshiluba language chimpenze, with a meaning of "ape". [48] At Bossou, the chimpanzee inhabits multistage secondary deciduous forest, which has grown after shifting cultivation, as well as primary forest and grassland. [120], Experimenters, however, now and then witness behaviour that cannot be readily reconciled with chimpanzee intelligence or theory of mind. [a], The chimpanzee is more robustly built than the bonobo but less than the gorilla. [141], Chimpanzees have traditionally been kept as pets in a few African villages, especially in the Democratic Republic of Congo. [105] Chimps use distance calls to draw attention to danger, food sources, or other community members. As such, males in a community are more likely to be related to one another than females are to each other. Chimpanzees are great apes found all across Central and West Africa. [86], Copulation is brief, lasting approximately seven seconds. [106][86] Whimpering is made by young chimps as a form of begging or when lost from the group. [16] The chimpanzee line split from the last common ancestor of the human line around six million years ago. [142][143] Animal rights groups have urged a stop to such acts, considering them abusive. The Gio people of Liberia and the Hemba people of the Congo have created masks of the animals. Juveniles remain close to their mothers, but interact an increasing amount with other members of their community. It is larger and more robust than the bonobo, weighing 40–70 kg (88–154 lb) for males and 27–50 kg (60–110 lb) for females and standing 150 cm (4 ft 11 in). Small, relict populations are found in Burundi and south-eastern Sudan. Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps. [132], Chimps also fish for ants using the same tactic. [39] As with bonobos and gorillas, chimps move quadrupedally by knuckle-walking, which probably evolved independently in Pan and Gorilla. Wolfgang Köhler, for instance, reported insightful behaviour in chimpanzees, but he likewise often observed that they experienced "special difficulty" in solving simple problems. [68] Chimps may react to a leopard's presence with loud vocalising, branch shaking and throwing objects. Pan paniscus. They succumb to many diseases that afflict humans, because the two species are so similar. [3], Infectious diseases are a main cause of death for chimpanzees. The more allies a male has, the better his chance of becoming dominant. schweinfurthii: Plumptre, A., Hart, J.A., Hicks, T.C., Nixon, S., Piel, A.K. In Gombe, the chimpanzee mostly uses semideciduous and evergreen forest as well as open woodland. The IUCN lists it as “possibly extinct” in Benin, Burkina Faso and Togo. Charter aircraft range comparison on a map. Depictions of chimpanzees as individuals rather than stock characters, and as central rather than incidental to the plot can be found in science fiction. It lives in a variety of habitats, including dry savanna, evergreen rainforest, montane forest, swamp forest and dry woodland-savanna mosaic. Adult female bonobos are somewhat smaller than adult males. For their first 30 days, infants cling to their mother's bellies.

In addition, females sometimes leave their community and mate with males from neighboring communities. Robert A. Heinlein's 1947 short story "Jerry Was a Man" concerns a genetically enhanced chimpanzee suing for better treatment. Should Labs Treat Chimps More Like Humans? When frightened, a "full closed grin" causes nearby individuals to be fearful, as well. Body mass ranges from 34 to 60 kg (75 to 132 lb) with an average weight of 45 kilograms (99 lb) in males against an average of 33 kg (73 lb) in females. [166] Human interactions with chimpanzees may be especially dangerous if the chimpanzees perceive humans as potential rivals. Pathogen incidence can also vary between these groups, as seen recently with the lethal outbreaks of Anthrax [ 22 ] and Ebola [ 23 ], or the Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). [138], Debate is ongoing among scientists such as David Premack about chimpanzees' ability to learn language. [68][69] It is possible that much of the mortality caused by leopards can be attributed to individuals that have specialised in chimp-killing. Typical human and chimp protein homologs differ in an average of only two amino acids. [108] While both adults and infants are taken, adult male colobus monkeys will attack the hunting chimps. Nearly all chimpanzee populations have been recorded using tools, modifying sticks, rocks, grass and leaves and using them for hunting and acquiring honey, termites, ants, nuts and water. [105], Vocalisations are also important in chimp communication. [133] Chimps also use leaves as sponges or spoons to drink water. (b) Map of Caiquene–Cadique study area showing the 21 camera trap sampling sites and respective 200 m buffers where availability of chimpanzee foods was quantified. The chimpanzee is a great ape species that is native to sub-Saharan Africa, where it prefers forests and jungles. Instances in which nonhuman primates have expressed joy have been reported. Chimps may react to lions by fleeing up trees, vocalising or hiding in silence. 2011) are ca. Males remain in their natal communities, while females generally emigrate at adolescence. [10] Another Dutch anatomist, Peter Camper, dissected specimens from Central Africa and Southeast Asia in the 1770s, noting the differences between the African and Asian apes. The foregoing feedback confers with the widespread chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). Ayumu performed better than human adults who were given the same test. [86] Females in Taï have also been recorded to form alliances. Gio masks are crude and blocky, and worn when teaching young people how not to behave. Finally, "ambushers" hide and rush out when a monkey nears. [113] They are among species that have passed the mirror test, suggesting self-awareness. [84], Chimpanzees have been described as highly territorial and will frequently kill other chimps,[88] although Margaret Power wrote in her 1991 book The Egalitarians that the field studies from which the aggressive data came, Gombe and Mahale, used artificial feeding systems that increased aggression in the chimpanzee populations studied, and might not reflect innate characteristics of the species as a whole as such. The chimpanzee makes a night nest in a tree in a new location every night, with every chimpanzee in a separate nest other than infants or juvenile chimpanzees, which sleep with their mothers. One suggestion is that drones, camera traps and remote microphones should be used to record and monitor chimpanzees rather than direct observation. [70][68] There is at least one record of chimps killing a leopard cub, after mobbing it and its mother in their den. [167] At least six cases of chimpanzees snatching and eating human babies are documented. When they reach two years of age, they are able to move and sit independently, and start moving beyond the arms' reach of their mothers. In the reanalysis, Terrace and Bever concluded that Nim's utterances could be explained merely as prompting on the part of the experimenters, as well as mistakes in reporting the data. Geographic Distribution and Habitat. [147], A five-year moratorium was imposed by the US National Institutes of Health in 1996, because too many chimps had been bred for HIV research, and it has been extended annually since 2001. Chimpanzees are mainly omnivorous frugivorous and live in communities that range from 20 to more than 100 members … [76], At the core of social structures are males, which patrol the territory, protect group members, and search for food. [163][164] In Uganda, several attacks on children have happened, some of them fatal. The 1972 film Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, the third sequel of the 1968 film Planet of the Apes, portrays a futuristic revolt of enslaved apes led by the only talking chimpanzee, Caesar, against their human masters. One chimp, Ayumu, was able to correctly and quickly point to the positions where they appeared in ascending order. It happens completely in the lowland rainforest south of the Congo River, which separates it varies from that of the widespread chimpanzee (see map above). Because no species other than Homo sapiens has survived from the human line of that branching, both chimpanzee species are the closest living relatives of humans; the lineage of humans and chimpanzees diverged from gorillas (genus Gorilla) about seven million years ago. When caught and killed, the meal is distributed to all hunting party members and even bystanders. Along with the Bonobo, Chimpanzee are the great apes most closely related to humans, sharing 98.7% of our DNA. & Sanz, C.", 10.2305/iucn.uk.2016-2.rlts.t15936a17990042.en, "Advancing conservation planning for western chimpanzees using IUCN SSC A.P.E.S.—the case of a taxon-specific database", "Regional action plan for the conservation of the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes ellioti)", "Pan troglodytes ssp. [52] This fission-fusion society may include groups of four types: all-male, adult females and offspring, both sexes, or one female and her offspring. [73] A 2017 study of gastrointestinal parasites of wild chimps in degraded forest in Uganda found nine species of protozoa, five nematodes, one cestode, and one trematode. According to the scientists, led by John Mitani, a primate behavioural ecologist at the University of Michigan, the chimps then travelled, socialised and ate in the new territory. In one case chimps cared for a dying elder, then attended and cleaned the corpse. 5 km apart. [121] Researchers also reported that, when faced with a choice between two persons, chimpanzees were just as likely to beg food from a person who could see the begging gesture as from a person who could not, thereby raising the possibility that chimpanzees lack theory of mind. The closest chimpanzee study sites in our analyses (Bossou and Nimba, Guinea: Koops et al. At Bossou, the chimpanzee inhabits multistage secondary deciduous forest, which has grown after shifting cultivation, as well as primary forest and grassland. [90] Patrols from smaller groups are more likely to avoid contact with their neighbours. [169][170] Another example of chimpanzees being aggressive toward humans occurred in 2009 in Stamford, Connecticut, when a 90-kilogram (200 lb), 13-year-old pet chimp named Travis attacked his owner's friend, who lost her hands, eyes, nose, and part of her maxilla from the attack. The Chimpanzee is a species of ape that is natively found in a variety of "[150], Only one European laboratory, the Biomedical Primate Research Centre in Rijswijk, the Netherlands, used chimpanzees in research. This is caused mainly by the large measure of individual autonomy that individuals have within their fission-fusion social groups. [92], Chimpanzees mate throughout the year, although the number of females in oestrus varies seasonally in a group. [136], Scientists have attempted to teach human language to several species of great ape. [101], When they reach five to six months, infants ride on their mothers' backs. Other mammalian prey include red-tailed monkeys, infant and juvenile yellow baboons, bush babies, blue duikers, bushbucks, and common warthogs. Top-ranking males tend to be aggressive even during dominance stability. Chimpanzee, (Pan troglodytes), species of ape that, along with the bonobo, is most closely related to humans. This is due to the differences in environmental and dietary adaptations; human internal parasite species overlap more with omnivorous, savanna-dwelling baboons. These great apes can stand upright but tend to roam on all fours, using their hands and feet as they jump from branch to branch. The range in Tanzania represents the eastern most border of the entire chimpanzee range throughout Africa. "Chasers" move quickly and try to make a catch. The very similar pygmy chimpanzee, or bonobo (Pan paniscus), has a more restricted habitat. The species lives in a strict male-dominated hierarchy, where disputes are generally settled without the need for violence. Highly intelligent, these apes are amongst the few species confirmed to use sticks and stones as tools for foraging and feeding. These smaller groups emerge in a variety of types, for a variety of purposes. [33] In exceptional cases, certain individuals may considerably exceed these measurements, standing over 168 cm (5 ft 6 in) on two legs and weighing up to 136 kg (300 lb) in captivity. In Cameroon, some 600 individuals are thought to live within the limits of Deng-Deng National Park. [144], Chimpanzees in media include Judy on the television series Daktari in the 1960s and Darwin on The Wild Thornberrys in the 1990s. By four to six years, chimps are weaned and infancy ends. [66] The oldest known captive chimp to have been documented lived to 66 years. Central African chimpanzees live in the dense tropical rainforests of Central Africa. Their distribution is by far the greatest of all great apes, a 2.6-million-kilometre fragmented range from Senegal to the west to Tanzania to the east. [91][85] While it was traditionally accepted that only female chimpanzees immigrate and males remain in their natal troop for life, there are confirmed cases of adult males safely integrating themselves into new communities among West African chimpanzees, suggesting they are less territorial than other subspecies. Chimpanzees are legally protected in most of their range, and are found both in and outside national parks. The IUCN lists it as “possibly extinct” in Benin, Burkina Faso and Togo. [150] A recent study suggests chimpanzees which are retired from labs exhibit a form of posttraumatic stress disorder. [101] A captive study suggests males can safely immigrate to a new group if accompanied by immigrant females who have an existing relationship with this male. It happens completely in the lowland rainforest south of the Congo River, which separates it varies from that of the frequent chimpanzee (see map above), which is a favorite chimpanzee habitat. [89] In the years following her artificial feeding conditions at Gombe, Jane Goodall described groups of male chimps patrolling the borders of their territory, brutally attacking chimps that had split off from the Gombe group. [3], "Chimp" redirects here. [62][52], Chimpanzees do not appear to directly compete with gorillas in areas where they overlap. The decision was prompted by the severe levels of poaching and habitat loss, which the IUCN believes have sparked a significant population decline that is set to continue in the following decades. The Chimpanzee was classified as Endangered by the IUCN in 1996 and has remained in that category in the years since. [83][85] In addition, conflicts between dominant males cause them to focus on each other rather than the lower-ranking males. During an arboreal hunt, each chimp in the hunting groups has a role. The hair of a chimp is typically black but can be brown or ginger. Evidence from fossils and DNA sequencing shows that Pan is a sister taxon to the human lineage and is humans' closest living relative. At Taï, it is found in the last remaining tropical rain forest in Ivory C… When in an aggressive mode, a chimp swaggers bipedally, hunched over and arms waving, in an attempt to exaggerate its size. [53][54] A study in Budongo Forest, Uganda found that 64.5% of their chimp feeding time concentrated on fruits (84.6% of which being ripe), particularly those from two species of Ficus, Maesopsis eminii and Celtis durandii. [98] The gestation period is eight months. Pant-hoot call made by an adult male, demonstrating the introduction, build-up, climax, and let-down phases. [74], Recent studies have suggested that human observers influence chimpanzee behaviour. [49] At Taï, it is found in the last remaining tropical rain forest in Ivory Coast. Some of these attacks may be due to the chimpanzees being intoxicated (from alcohol obtained from rural brewing operations) and mistaking human children[165] for the western red colobus, one of their favourite meals. Nim never initiated conversations himself, rarely introduced new words, and mostly imitated what the humans did. The chimps further show an aptitude for photographic memory, demonstrated in experiments in which the jumbled digits are flashed onto a computer screen for less than a quarter of a second. [b], The chimpanzee is a highly adaptable species. Individuals typically stand 1-1.7 metres tall and weigh anywhere from 32 to 60 kilograms, with males typically larger and sturdier than females. [150][152], Other researchers argue that chimps either should not be used in research, or should be treated differently, for instance with legal status as persons. The chimpanzee lives in groups that range in size from 15 to 150 members, although individuals travel and forage in much smaller groups during the day. Nevertheless, the status of an adult female may be important for her offspring. [168], A chimpanzee's strength and sharp teeth mean that attacks, even on adult humans, can cause severe injuries. It occurs exclusively in lowland rainforest south of the Congo River, which separates it range from that of the common chimpanzee (see map … [140], In Western popular culture, chimpanzees have occasionally been stereotyped as childlike companions, sidekicks or clowns. This also varies from troop to troop and year to year. Afterward, they avoided the spot where the elder died and behaved in a more subdued manner. No matter how much we may wish it, chimps are not human. A community's dominant males sometimes restrict reproductive access to females. Democratic Republic of the Congo, with about 140,000 individuals existing in the wild, Zambia, with approximately 180,000 - 256,000 individuals still existing in the wild, Chimpanzee Sequencing and Analysis Consortium, Countries banning non-human ape experimentation. In this reversal, Terrace now argued Nim's use of ASL was not like human language acquisition.

The German naturalist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach classified the chimpanzee as Simia troglodytes by 1775. For hives of the dangerous African honeybees, chimps use longer and thinner sticks to extract the honey. This is documented in wild and captive chimpanzees. [154] Stuart Zola, director of the Yerkes laboratory, disagrees. They remain in continual contact for the rest of their first year. [57][58] The western red colobus ranks at the top of preferred mammal prey. Social hierarchies among adult females tend to be weaker. The chimpanzee and the closely related bonobo (sometimes called the "pygmy chimpanzee") are classified in the genus Pan. [174][175] Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has the greatest genetic diversity of HIV-1 so far discovered, suggesting the virus has been there longer than anywhere else. [176], The biggest threats to the chimpanzee are habitat destruction, poaching, and disease. One early attempt by Allen and Beatrix Gardner in the 1960s involved spending 51 months teaching American Sign Language to a chimpanzee named Washoe. Nim's sentences also did not grow in length, unlike human children whose vocabulary and sentence length show a strong positive correlation. Chimps lose more hair as they age, and develop bald spots. Among males there is generally a dominance hierarchy, and males are dominant over females. The chimpanzee has an advanced cognitive map of its home range and can repeatedly find food. Using this 5-km buffer is likely to include the tree cover of the complete chimpanzee home range at a site. When witnessing a sudden death, the other group members act in frenzy, with vocalisations, aggressive displays, and touching of the corpse. [79][80] While chimpanzee social structure is often referred to as patriarchal, it is not entirely unheard of for females to forge coalitions against males. The feet are adapted for grasping, the big toe being opposable. This allows them to easily corner the monkeys when chasing them in the appropriate direction. [55] While the chimpanzee is mostly herbivorous, it does eat honey, soil, insects, birds and their eggs, and small to medium-sized mammals, including other primates. Geographic Distribution and Habitat. [129], A chimpanzee from the Kasakela chimpanzee community was the first nonhuman animal reported making a tool, by modifying a twig to use as an instrument for extracting termites from their mound. Chimpanzees typically have a standing height of 3.3-5.6 ft. with an adult male weighing up to 40-60kg and females weighing 27-50kg. Height. "Drivers" serve to keep the prey running in a certain direction and follow them without attempting to make a catch. [105] Submissive individuals make "pant-grunts" towards their superiors. In Ivory Coast, chimpanzees make up 1–3% of bushmeat sold in urban markets. Stories have been told of chimps kidnapping and raping women. [50] The chimpanzee has an advanced cognitive map of its home range and can repeatedly find food. The most common call in adults is the "pant-hoot", which may signal social rank and bond as well keep groups together. Duplications of small parts of chromosomes have been the major source of differences between human and chimp genetic material; about 2.7% of the corresponding modern genomes represent differences, produced by gene duplications or deletions, since humans and chimps diverged from their common evolutionary ancestor. [53][56] Insect species consumed include the weaver ant Oecophylla longinoda, Macrotermes termites and honey bees. Between 170,000 and 300,000 individuals are estimated across its range. Many attempts have been made to teach languages such as American Sign Language to chimpanzees, with limited success.
