Chimpanzees

Chimpanzees are mainly found in rain forests or wet savannahs. They spend equal time on land and in trees. They do most of their feeding and sleeping in trees to hide from enemies. 

Chimps use thick branches and sticks as clubs to throw or hit their enemies. Their main predators are leopards and humans. Chimps are omnivorous foragers (an animal that feeds on both animal and vegetable substances). 

They can grow to around 137cm tall standing bipedal. Even though chimpanzees have four legs, they can walk on two. Their weight is usually 50 kilograms. Chimpanzees don't have tails. Chimps can get infected with the same diseases as humans. They are seven times stronger than men. Girl chimps learn a lot faster than boy chimps. When they are bored they organise various games to entertain themselves. 

I think chimpanzees are very clever how they use branches to protect themselves. Chimps have interesting lives. They can live up to about 50 years.
