The common chimpanzee or Pan troglodytes are the most ubiquitous, animal actors around. As funny as the sitcom may seem to be, the chimps are extremely intelligent and social, and are better off with their own kind. Many of the animals that you see on television or in the movies are juveniles. Adult chimpanzees do not make good performers because they grow in canines and they become very strong making training much more difficult. Many are then thrown into the pet trade where they can often be mistreated.
