  • The chimpanzee is the only animal that recognises itself in the mirror and they are our closest current relatives.
  • They are highly intelligent, demonstrate advanced tool use, even rudimentary tool making, and can be taught to do many things. Some chimpanzees have been able to learn hundreds to hundreds of signs and use them intelligently, but they cannot learn a real language, in which words are organised into a complex web of meanings. The chimpanzee is the only animal that can do things like interlock two short sticks, stack crates, reach suspended bananas and even learn the basic concepts of a language.
  • The body structure of the chimpanzee is adapted to the forest lifestyle: with his long arms and opposable thumbs on his hands and feet, he moves through the trees and branches as deftly as he does on the ground Its body is covered with sparse black fur, but its face is bare.
