Chimpanzees awaken at dawn, and their day is spent both in the trees and on the ground. Afte.... move chimpanze

In the trees, where most feeding takes place, chimps use their hands and feet to move about. Though able to walk upright, chimpanzees more often move about on all fours, leaning forward on the knuckles of their hands (knuckle walking). The female chimpanzee bears a single young at any time of year after a gestation period of about eight months. Males are considered adults at 16 years of age, and females usually begin to reproduce at about 13 years, but often only two offspring survive during her lifetime.
