Information
Chimpanzees
are very intelligent animals. Their social interactions
are as fascinating as other aspects of their lives. Chimpanzees
have been known to enforce specific rules when it comes
to social obligations. So, when one chimpanzee gives another
a hair grooming, it expects one or a similar favor in
return. There is also other behavior which would lead
someone to recognize the fact that chimpanzees are our
closest relative. Studies of chimp food sharing has revealed
many interesting details.
Chimpanzees belong to large groups or communities. But,
they also go in small groups for much of the time looking
for food and socializing. Chimps can show much affection
but can also be very aggressive when necessary. Most chimpanzees
have a nervous temperament, which is also the case with
human beings.
