r hands and feet are very similar in size and shape. They use these strong extremities to move around trees. They build nests from large branches and twigs. They never use the same nest for more than one night. They are also quiet animals and like to be alone from all the noises.The chimpanzees are the most intelligent of all the apes. They are considered as the closest relatives of humans their DNA has been estimated to be as much as 99% identical to that of ours. Chimps are found in equatorial Africa.

Their large canine teeth can intimidate rivals, and do real damage during fights. Chimpanzees hug when they are excited or need reassurance. They kiss to comfort or to show respect.

They are just grooming each other, picking our bits of dirt and dried skin. I also noticed that when there is a pink swelling on female chimpanzees (it is only on female) it tells t...
