Did you know that all adult male Chimps are dominant over their female counterparts? That’s right, the Women Rights movement hasn’t quite swept over Chimpanzee nation yet. Interestingly enough, those same female Chimps don’t seem to develop close bonds with other community members. On the other hand, the males form close bonds with the other males and will often share food and possessions with them. Isn’t it nice when everyone gets along?<\/p>\n
Chimpanzee Fast Fact – <\/strong>You may picture the chimps hanging out in the trees all day, but much like the Gorilla, the Chimpanzee usually “knuckle-walk” on the ground. They have actually adapted to this walk by evolving a ridge of a bone in their wrists that keep them from buckling under their own weight.<\/p>\nThat does it for our Chimpanzee Wild Fact. Enjoy the rest of your day (especially if you are off for the Canadian holiday) and I will see you tomorrow.<\/p>\n
