Chimpanzee

Researchers have proved that chimpanzees are self-aware and can anticipate the impact of their actions on the environment around them, an ability once thought to be uniquely human.

We, Homo sapiens, share 98.4% of our DNA with chimpanzees. To put this in perspective the American songbird species, the red-eyed vireos and the similar white-eyed vireos share only 97.1% of their genetic material.
Chimpanzees have the same bones and muscles as humans with differences only in form, such as longer arms than legs. Adapted for quadrupedal movement and movement through the trees, chimpanzees have robust bodies and powerful arms. Because of their dense bones and muscle tissue, the upper body strength of a mature chimpanzee is up to 4 times that of humans.
Chimpanzees are black, but older individuals may have a grey back. Both genders often have short white beards. The ears are prominent. Infants have a white tail tuft and pink to brown facial skin, which darkens by adulthood.
Chimpanzees have been shown to have their own individual personalities.
Chimpanzees behave in a way indicationg that they feel empathy.
Chimpanzees live in fluid social groups consisting of a core of multiple females and dominant related males, whom are highly territorial and will routinely patrol their home boundaries. Females tend to live a more solitary life than the males, often choosing to spend much of their time alone with their offspring.
Chimpanzee infants are completely dependent on their mothers until about five years of age. When males are between the ages of 8-12 years, or adolescence, they will increase their independence and spend more time in the company of adult males. Females tend to remain close to their mothers during adolescence, becoming mature at age 11 but only beginning to breed at age 13-14. On average females will have about three offspring during their lifetime.
