CHIMPANZEES
I am a huge fan of the ‘Planet of the Apes’ movies so now that ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ movie is out at cinemas I thought it would be interesting, for all you other fans out there, to give some chimpanzee facts.
- Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives, sharing more than 98 percent of our genetic blueprint.
- Chimpanzees live in social groups called communities or unit groups that consist of up to 60 members.
- No other animal (apart from humans) uses so many different objects as tools.
- Chimpanzees can live about 50 years in the wild. In captivity, some chimps have lived more than 60 years.
