About the Chimpanzee
The chimpanzee is one of the great apes and one of our closest relatives. They are one of the smartest animals on Earth, with complex social behavior and a rich culture.
Chimpanzees have a powerful immune system, which helps them to survive in hostile environments. They also have large brains and are able to use sophisticated tools and problem-solving skills.
They have been taught to communicate with sign language and use simple tools in captivity. However, they are still wild animals and can become dangerous if they are provoked.
- They have color vision but cannot see red like humans can. This is because their retina has a “red” cone that absorbs all red light while human cones only absorb red and green light.
- They spend most of their lives feeding and playing. They only rest for short periods between activities.
- Chimpanzees are the only primate species other than humans that use stone tools.
- They use rocks to crack open nuts.
