Chimps

Chimpanzees By Kristina My animal is a chimpanzee and I am going to tell you what it does to survive. Like what and how a chimpanzee eats the color and size, and some interesting facts about it. First I will tell you what and how a chimpanzee eats. A chimpanzee eats fruit, which is no surprise because when you think monkey you also think banana, but other things they eat are flowers, plant parts, other monkeys, bush pigs, and insects. To capture an insect the chimpanzee puts a stick into a termite hole. Then the termites climb up onto it. When the chimpanzee pulls the stick out it then eats them. The chimpanzee’s predators are humans we are taking away there environment and we need to stop. That is what and how a chimpanzee eats. Now I will tell you its color and Size. A chimpanzee is black and brown in color. It can grow up to five feet. A chimpanzee weighs from 95-120 pounds. That is the color and size of a chimpanzee. These are some other chimpanzee facts. The chimpanzee’s scientific name is //Pan Troglodytes// and they are of course mammals. It lives in western and central Africa. Also in rainy forests and mountain forests. Chimpanzees have live offspring and one at a time. They stay near their mothers for five years. Chimpanzees live to around sixty years in the wild. Chimpanzees are interesting animals. And eventually will go extinct if people don’t stop taking their habitat.
