Chimpanzees are native to Africa. Unfortunately, these wonderful animals are classified as endangered, due to mass habitat destruction, hunting and commercial exportation. They are not for everyone. Adult Chimpanzees are known to be aggressive and they do not make suitable pets for the majority of people. Captive female Chimpanzees will not begin breeding until they are eight to nine years old and usually no child bearing is done before the age of ten to eleven.
Gestation lasts anywhere from eight and a half to nine months.
Newborn Chimpanzees, like humans, are relatively helpless at birth. However, they do develop much faster and within a couple of days, they can cling to their mother's bellies unassisted. Don't forget to subscribe to our Newsletter. All rights reserved.
