Descripción de chimpancés en ingles?

The chimpanzee is our closest living relative, with whom we share 98 percent of our genetic code.

Apparently, we also share a common ancestor that lived between four and eight million years.

Chimpanzees live in communities made up of several dozen individuals, and are used to living in the jungles, forests and savannas of Africa.

Although normally walk using all four limbs (four legs), they are able to stand and walk upright.

They are also able to move effectively jumping from branch to branch in the trees, where they get most of their food.

Usually chimpanzees also sleep in trees, in nests made sheets.

They usually feed on fruits and plants, but also eat insects, eggs and meat, including carrion.

Their diet is extremely varied and includes hundreds of familiar foods.

In addition, the chimpanzee is one of the few animal species that uses tools.

Molded sticks and used to flush out insects from their hideouts or to take larvae of tree trunks.

They also use stones to open nuts and leaves used as a sponge to collect drinking water.

Chimpanzees are even able to learn some basic elements of the human sign language.

Females can give birth at any time of year, usually to a single living stem grabbed the hair of the mother and later hanging from his back until he turns two.

The females are fertile from age 13, while males are not considered adults until he was 16.

Although chimpanzees and humans are closely related, apes have suffered much at the hands of men.

These great apes are endangered and hunters who traffic in flesh and remain threatened by habitat destruction.
