Height: 0.9-1.2 m Weight: 35 - 70 kg Male chimpanzees show their power in "displays." Their hair stands on end so they look bigger, they scream, stamp their feet, and go on a tear, dragging branches, or hurling rocks. This may scare other chimpanzees and keep them from picking a fight. This is also how they get a mate. Height: 0.66 -1 m Weight: 26 - 50 kg Female chimpanzees have a hierarchy which is influenced by the position of a female individual within a group. In some chimpanzee communities, the young females may inherit a high status from a high-ranking mother. The females will also form allies to dominate lower-ranking females. In contrast to males, which have a main purpose of acquiring a high status for access to mating privileges and sometimes violent domination of subordinates, females acquire high statuses for access to resources such as food. High-ranking females will often get first access to resources. In general, both genders acquire a dominant status to improve social standing within a group. An infant chimpanzee develops at about the same speed as a human baby. At about 5 month the infant can sit upright and can stand with support at about 6 months. It is still suckled and sleeps with its mother until about 3 years of age, finally becoming independent and seperating from her at 4 years of age. Sexual maturity is reached between 8 and 10 years. Mating occurs throughout the year and there is no evidence of a birth season. The female usually only has one baby and stays pregnant for around 8 months. Chimps are mainly found in rain forests and wet savannas. While they spend equal time on land and in trees, they do most of their feeding and sleeping in trees. After decending from their nests at night chimps hungrily feed on fruits, leaves, buds and blossoms. After a while they become more selective, and will only choose the ripest fruits. They usually pick fruit with their hands, but they eat berries and seeds directly off the stem with their lips. Chimpanzees are cool animals and are very closely related to humans.
