Why Chimpanzee Are Considered To Be A Special Type Of Monkeys?

Chimpanzee

Since chimpanzee is the most intelligent of all the monkeys, they are considered to be a special type of monkeys.

They belong to the highest order of mammals known as primates. They have no tail. They have thirteen paris of ribs. When they grow old their hair becomes grey and the skin turns dusky. They are mostly found in Central African forests.

Chimpanzee can easily be captured and kept in zoos. Chimpanzee are very emotional and have a language by which they communicate with each other.

 

Below Chimpanzee info from Wikipedia (Read More):-

Chimpanzee, sometimes colloquially chimp, is the common name for the two extant species of ape in the genus Pan where the Congo River forms the boundary between the native habitat of the two species:[2]

    * Common Chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes: the better known chimpanzee lives primarily in West and Central Africa.
    * Bonobo, Pan paniscus: also known as the "Pygmy Chimpanzee or Bonzi Chimpanzee", this species is found in the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Chimpanzees are members of the Hominidae family, along with gorillas, humans, and orangutans. Chimpanzee are thought to have split from human evolution about 6 million years ago and thus the two chimpanzee species are the closest living relatives to humans, all being members of the Hominini tribe (along with extinct species of Hominina subtribe). Chimpanzees are the only known members of the Panina subtribe. The two Pan species split only about one million years ago.
