1. The name of the animal I chose was the Chimpanzee because they are the closest to humans. Chimpanzees are not monkeys, they are great apes and you can tell that by looking at the tail.
2. The Chimpanzee lives in the rainforest, grassland and woodland of West and Central Africa.
3. Chimpanzees eat both plants and animals. That means that they are omnivores. They like to eat fruit, insects, eggs and meat.
4. The female Chimpanzees will give birth at the age of 14 and they mate with many males. The baby Chimpanzee’s depend on their mother until about 5 years old. Female Chimpanzee’s will have about 4-6 kids in their lifetime.
5. When a Chimpanzee has an upset stomach they eat certain plants, which they use as medicine to help get rid of their waste.
6. I learned that Chimpanzee’s communicate with one another through facial expressions, body postures and gestures. Some have used American Sign Language to talk. Chimpanzee’s have 32 teeth. Chimpanzees weigh as much as 150 pounds and they can live for more than 50 years.
