Chimpanzees are warm-blooded, they are mammals.

They have long arms and short bodies. They have long black hair. They grow to be four feet tall, as adults. They can weigh between 70-130 lbs. They have a lifespan of 45 years in the wild. They have humanlike behavior and are really

smart.

Chimpanzees live in Western and Central Africa.

They live in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. They live in tropical areas of Africa, in the

Rain Forests. They mostly live in the tops of trees. They eat in the tops of trees. They sleep in the tops of trees. They make nests out of leaves and other

tree materials, in the tops of trees.

Chimpanzees are omnivorous, meaning they eat whatever is available, mostly plants.

They also eat bugs, fruit, nuts and insects. They use rocks as hammers to crack open

nuts to eat. They use sticks to dig out bugs. They use leaves to soak up water to drink. They, at times, eat smaller animals, like

small monkeys. Chimpanzees are often preyed on by

leopards and human poachers.

A female Chimpanzee gives birth to a baby Chimpanzee, not an egg.

A female gives birth to only one baby at a time, twins are rare.

A mother carries her baby every where she goes, clinging to her, until the age two.

Chimpanzees have a strong bond, especially between mother and child, which can easily last seven years, after birth.

Females reach reproductive age at 13. Males are not considered adults until age 16.
