#CHIMPANZEE PET SKIN#

The length of gestation (pregnancy) averages 230 days, or about 7 1/2 months. Sometimes a high-ranking male will try to guard the female and prevent her from mating with other males. When a female is in estrus (in heat), she'll usually approach - and mate with - several males.

Their skin is colored pink when they're young, but darkens with age.ДЄ female chimp is ready to mate when she's about 13 years old. Chimps' face and the underside of their hands and feet have no hair. (In captivity, both males and females can weigh more.)Д«lack hair covers most of their body, though older chimps are prone to graying hair and baldness (just like us!). In the wild, females can weigh up to 110 pounds and males, up to 155 pounds. When standing upright, adult chimps are about three to five feet tall. They can walk on two legs for short distances. Like gorillas, chimps walk on the knuckles of their hands and the flat soles of their feet. Their long arms come in useful here, too, because these apes usually walk on all fours. They do most of their traveling on the ground. Chimps spend a lot of time in trees, where they do most of their feeding and nesting.Д¬himps may travel through the trees, moving from branch to branch - but only for short distances. These apes have very long, powerful arms and long-fingered hands - perfect for hanging around in trees. What's one of the first things you notice about chimpanzees? Probably their arms.
