Maria J. Gaytan Animal Behavior Project Biology Period 1st/2nd Due December 1‚ 2014 The Great Chimpanzees Chimps also known as chimpanzees are the one of the closest living relatives to the humans. Chimpanzees and human beings are said to have an ancestor that lived about four to eight million years ago. Chimps are mammals‚ providing with an omnivore diet .In the wild their average lifespan is up to forty-five years in the wild. They are in size four to five point five and can possibly weight

Organism Physiology Paper Deborah Chase Biology 101 Professor Y. Henry March 9‚ 2015 Organism Physiology Paper (Chimpanzees) Chimpanzees are hominid species of apes native to Africa and the closest related to humans which they share 95-98% of human DNA. Earlier research reports that the oldest known primates are about 65 million years old with the chimpanzees emerging about 20 million years ago. It is thought that the chimpanzee’s level of intelligence has allowed it to survive all

INTRO Chimpanzees‚ sometimes colloquially Chimps‚ are two extant hominid species of apes in the genus Pan. The Congo River divides the native habitats of the two species. Chimpanzees are members of the family Hominidae‚ along with gorillas‚ humans‚ and orangutans. Chimpanzees split from the human branch of the family about four to six million years ago. Chimpanzees are the closest living relatives to humans‚ being members of the tribe Hominini. CHIMPANZEE INTELLIGENCE 1. TOOL USE Chimpanzees make

They studied the DNA droppings from forty Chimpanzees between 2000 and 2008. The article stated that in both humans and chimpanzees‚ the intestines hold lots of bacteria and microbes that do multiple things. They also hold some of the same bacteria like Olsenella and Prevotella. When the bacteria is low‚ diseases

Savage-Rumbaugh Aim To investigate the capacity of pygmy chimpanzees to learn language compared to common chimps‚ and without being trained Participants The two pygmy chimpanzees‚ Kanzi and Mulika‚ were reared in a language rearing-environment‚ with access to their mother. Kanzi was age 4 and his sister‚ Mulika‚ was 3. The two common chimpanzees were also reared in the same environment. However‚ they were ages 9 and 10‚ called Austin and Sherman. Methodology The data was gathered across a 10 year

Kohler studied chimpanzees from 1913 to 1917. His chimpanzee named Sultan was one of his test subjects and Sultan and other chimpanzees would have to figure out problems that Kohler presented them to reach the reward or food. He proved that chimpanzees can problem solve by giving them to short sticks that they had to combine to make it long enough to reach the food. This demonstrated insight in the chimpanzees. Another experiment he created for Sultan and the other chimpanzees was a banana hanging

Pan troglodytes also known as chimpanzees‚ are amazing great apes who share 96% of our DNA‚ making them our closest living relatives. They are very intelligent and display that they are closely related to humans by their tool making and use‚ cooperate and learn from each other‚ and learn in various forms of expression and communication. Today there are around 300 thousand chimpanzees in the wild and 2‚000 captive in the United States; out of those 2000‚ 850 are in laboratories‚ 600 in sanctuaries

Chimpanzee Politics by Frans de Waal chronicles a colony of 23 chimpanzees who live in an outdoor‚ open-air space at the Arnhem Zoo in the Netherlands. Of these 23 chimpanzees there are four males: Yeroen‚ Luit‚ Nikkie and Dandy. The colony also consists of three female subgroups‚ the largest made up of Mama‚ Gorilla‚ Franje‚ Amber and three children‚ Moniek‚ Roosje and Fons. The second largest subgroup includes Krom‚ Spin‚ Jimmie and her two sons Jakie and Jonas. And the third female subgroup consists
