What kind of bird makes a cry or cries like a chimpanzee?
?It, in KY ,I thought it was not likely,though, the bird kept it up 5 minutes and then quit??|||the bird was prob jus moking a sound it had heard before|||Did you happen to notice the offending chimp leaving the scene?|||How do you know it was a bird? My only guess ,if it was a bird, would be a peacock.|||maybe a crazy cockatoo :-)
How do I buy a chimpanzee for a pet?
I'm thinking about purchasing a chimp for a pet.
Do they make good pets?
I have two small children.
I heard they are great with kids and neighbors and easily trainable.|||If you like having your toes and genitals ripped off, yeah chimpanzees make great pets, troll.|||alll of you ppl just STFU and stop your stupid *** answers. IT"S FREAKIN YAHOO ANWSERS! NOT YAHOO NO ONE GIVES A F*** about your stupid opinion. IF YOu DON"T LIKE THE QUESTION THEN DON"T FU**N answer it!
|||dont buy a chimp!!!!
they are extremely expensive, for a start, but thats not what im worried about. im worried about the innocent life you will waste. (the chimp's, not yours! i couldnt care less about someone who kept a wild animal as a pet!!)
for a chimp to be put into captivity, it usually means their parents were shot for fur and meat and the babies stolen and kept in tiny boxes and shipped across the world.
keeping a chimp as a pet is animal cruelty!!!
no, they do NOT make good pets. its like having toddlers running around and wrecking your house, toddlers that grow very quickly in size but not in maturity... FOR UP TO 30 YEARS.
they are hard to feed safely, because they will eat ANYTHING, pretty much.
they change in mood very quickly, so one minute, you could be having a nice little cuddle, the next minute, your having your hair ripped out and your eyeballs gouged. im not saying chimps are violent, but they are easily provoked.
good with children... where do i start? chimps will grow very quickly, and will soon not realize how strong they are. so, a little playful wrestling match could turn into a broken leg and a few weeks in hospital attached to a machine.
they are relatively easy to train, but can be VERY disobedient.
CHIMPS ARE WILD, ENDANGERED, BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS. KEEP THEM IN THE WILD!!!
i am disgusted that a human could be so cruel...if you do get one, i HOPE it wrecks your house and puts you in hospital!!! the only problem would be it could be put down after...
your an ape, how would you like it if i put a nappy on you and kept you in a cage?
i cant even describe how disgusted i am. i wouldnt class someone who would lock up an animal so simliar to myself a human being...
please........
dont be so cruel
DONT BUY A CHIMP, FOR ITS SAKE AND YOUR HUMANITY!!!!!|||They're trying to pass a bill outlawing keeping monkeys as pets because it's not right to keep them as pets. They're wild animals and you can keep them for years and they'll still go crazy on you and rip your face off. It's not fair to keep a wild animal in the captivity of a home. They are not like dogs or cats, you can't train their natural instincts out of them.|||Don't buy a chimpanzee as a pet. Especially if you have children. You have to keep in mind they are wild animals.|||it really makes me sick KEEP ENDANGERED ANIMALS IN THE WILD why don't you adopt one instead|||Yeah one killed somebody yesterday or something like that.|||Chimpanzees are wild animals. They deserve to live free! Not cooped up in a home or cage.|||Being an ape yourself, I should think you'd know just how to go about it already.|||Yeahh sure, providing of course you no longer want your kids. (:|||Yeah good one.
Obviously you are trying to get a rise out of everyone.|||Very funny, you must be bored.|||Is this a joke?

What is more intelligent - a chimpanzee or a dolphin?
I was just wandering this, both are known for being quite intelligent when compared to other animals, but I was just wandering which species come out on top when put side by side?|||The Dolphin.
It has become widely accepted that dolphins are highly intelligent animals and this is what fascinates many people about dolphins.
Intelligence itself is hard thing to measure and knowledge about cognitive capabilities of the dolphin brain and dolphin intelligence is still limited. A number of different approaches have been adopted to try and quantify the intelligence of dolphins, whales and other marine animals but it should be noted that there are many different species of dolphin and we should be careful about making generalisations- differences between dolphin species may be as marked as differences between humans and the great apes.
Knowledge about the capabilities of the dolphin brain is limited because of major research difficulties. Research of cetacean behaviour in the wild is among the most expensive and difficult to carry out, owing to the nature of the environment they inhabit. There have therefore been relatively few scientific studies of dolphins in the wild, and most direct observations are anecdotal. Studies based on captive dolphins have limits, because it is not clear how natural their behaviour is under those conditions.
One method that has been employed is the ease with which an animal can be trained. Dolphins and killer whales that learn tricks could be said to have intellect. The problem with assessing intelligence in this way is that we only have a human perspective. Tests on dolphins (or any other creature) are carried out to measure responses or reactions, which can be compared to humans. Using this method it would also follow that dogs should be more intelligent than cats! Therefore these experimental results are biased by the technique used, and may not accurately measure the original criteria of intelligence at all.
Brain Size and Mass
Some attempts to resolve the issue of dolphin intelligence have focused on various indicators concerning the size of the dolphin's brain.The pictures below show the comparative brains of a human, dolphin and cow.
The human brain is typically 3 times heavier than that of a cow, while sperm whales have brains more than five times the size of a human. As a percentage of body weight the human brain accounts for 2.1% and the bottlenose dolphin 0.94% however brain size alone does not signify intelligence.
The relationship between brain mass and intelligence is a shaky one, at best. Cognitive ability, according to most scientists, is dependent on the quantity and quality of connections between brain cells, and not on mere brain mass. Research into the human brain has revealed that the development of the cerebral cortex is also an important factor. This is where analysis of sensory information takes place and conscious responses to stimuli originate. The cerebral hemispheres in human and dolphins are both large and posses convoluted folding.
However, the cerebral cortex is much thinner in dolphins than in humans and more closely resembles those found in cows and sheep. Whilst studies of dolphin brains have shown that they are less developed than a human brain they are more developed than other mammals such as chimpanzees, although there are parallels in the organization of dolphin and primate brains.
Most dolphin species have brains that are roughly equal in weight to the average human brain: for example, the average human brain weighs 1300-1400 grams, while the average bottlenose dolphin brain weighs 1500-1600 grams. Chimpanzee brains by contrast are only 400 grams.
However, many researchers believe that brain mass of itself is a poor measure because it makes no allowances for body size.
Negative evidence against dolphins being as intelligent as humans is the fact that the dolphin brain to body ratio is less than half that of humans on average, however a bottlenose dolphin is second only to humans in the ratio of brain size to body size. It is not clear that direct comparisons of species that occupy such different habitats is appropriate, given these differing habitats make hugely different demands on bodily functionality. For instance, cetaceans have a high percentage of body weight in blubber, which principally helps them deal with the effects of water temperature. In the case of bottle-nosed dolphins blubber takes up 18-20% of body weight.
Other researchers have asserted that an important measure is the size and complexity of brain at birth. This is an extremely positive indicator for dolphin intelligence. Bottlenose dolphins begin life with very large brains: at birth they have a brain mass that is 42.5% of an adult human's brain mass, in comparison with humans, who at birth have 25% of adult brain mass. By eighteen months, the brain mass of Bottle-nosed dolphins is roughly 80% of that of an adult human. Human beings generally do not achieve this figure until the age of three or four.
The true value of various comparisons of brain mass between dolphins and human is debatable. Comparisons of humans to closely related species like the Great Apes would seem appropriate, since our original habitats and thus bodily functionality are very similar. However, one needs to be careful of directly comparing a land based species and water based species, because their habitats make hugely differing demands. It should be noted, however, that no other species seems to compare so favorably with humans across the indicators of pure brain mass, brain to body ratio, and comparative percentage of size at birth.
Self-awareness
The ability to possess self-awareness shows a highly developed abstract thinking. Self-awareness is the precursor to more advanced processes like meta-cognitive reasoning (thinking about thinking) that are typical of humans. Scientific research into self-awareness has suggested that Bottlenose Dolphins possess self-awareness. Dolphins differ markedly so an assessment can not be made for all species, some of which have much smaller brain sizes and presumably different structures.
The standard test for self-awareness in animals is the mirror test, developed by Gallup in the seventies, in which a temporary dye is placed on an animal's body, and the animal is then presented with a mirror. Most animals react to a mirror as if it is another animal. However, like great apes, dolphins have been shown to recognise the mirror image as themselves, by examining the marking on their body. Evidence for mirror recognition by dolphins was anecdotal until the nineties, but the scientific studies carried out by researchers Marten and Psarakos (1994, 1995) and Reiss and Marino (1998) confirmed it.
Some scientists still disagree with these findings arguing that the results of these tests are open to human interpretation. This test is far less definitive than when used for primates because primates can touch the mark or the mirror, while dolphins cannot, making their alleged self-recognition behaviour less clear. Critics argue that behaviours that are said to identify self-awareness resemble existing social behaviours, and so researchers could be mislabelling social responses to another dolphin. The researchers counterargue that the behaviours shown to evidence self awareness are very different to normal responses to another dolphin, including paying significantly more attention to another dolphin than towards their mirror image. Dr. Gallup called the results "the most suggestive evidence to date" of mirror self-recognition in dolphins, but "not definitive" because he was not entirely clear that the dolphins were not interpreting the image in the mirror as another animal.
Differences from other mammalian brains
Although dolphins are themselves mammals, their brains are constructed and act differently than those of most mammals. Unlike most mammalian brains, which have six neocortical layers, dolphins have five. While most sleeping mammals go through a stage known as REM sleep, dolphin studies have not shown any brain wave patterns associated with REM sleep. Unlike terrestrial mammals, dolphin brains contain a paralimbic lobe, which may possibly be used for sensory processing.
Dolphin brain stem transmission time is faster than that normally found in humans, and is roughly equivalent to the speed found in rats. As echo-location is the dolphin's primary means of sensing its environment (comparable to eyes in primates) and since sound travels four and a half times faster in water than in air, scientists speculate that the faster brain stem transmission time, and perhaps the paralimbic lobe as well, support speedy processing of sound. The dolphin's dependence on speedy sound processing is evident in the structure of its brain: its neural area devoted to visual imaging is only about one-tenth that of the human brain, while the area devoted to acoustical imaging is about 10 times that of the human brain. (Which is unsurprising: primate brains devote far more volume to visual processing than almost any other animals, and human brains more than other primates.)
The question remains "what is meant by intelligence?" and how can human concepts of intelligence be applied to an animal that lives in a medium so different to our own?
In its broadest sense intelligence is said to imply some comprehension of cause and effect i.e. the ability to think and often involves the mutual conveyance of information i.e. communication. Some species have demonstrated a greater capacity to learn than others and some are more resourceful. Some researchers say that in our enthusiasm to animate dolphins, we give them powers they just don't possess. A closer look suggests that much of the dolphin's large brain is taken up with echolocation and handling acoustical information processes at which they excel. But dolphins tend to rank at about the level of elephants in some "intelligence" tests and haven't shown any unusual talent at problem solving. They are excellent mimics of sounds and clearly communicate with one another, but does that mean they "talk?" No one less than Aristotle once wrote, "The voice of the dolphin in the air is like that of the human in that they can pronounce vowels and combinations of vowels, but have difficulties with the consonants." But a more scientific analysis of dolphin sounds suggests that for all their communication skills, dolphins lack the repertoire to have anything approaching language as we know it.
Dolphins are capable of communication with each other.|||Well I've yet to see a dolphin climb a tree or a chimp evade a shark so both are, in their respective domains.|||a dolphin|||dolphine. if they could menipulate their surrounds, ie if they had hands like we do, they would have created civilisation by now.
Chimpanzees do have hands like us, but they havnt.|||A chimp|||in studies of intelligence of both species they have determined that chimps have the intelligence of a 2 year old human. They say dolphins are just as intelligent or possibly more so but they are very hard to test for intelligence since their environment is so different than ours, meaning their perceptions are very different than ours.|||That is a difficult question to answer. let's just say, for one, it is rather difficult to quantify intelligence, and two, it is difficult to measure degrees of intelligence in the two respective species. However, there are some indidcations that in case of dolphin and chimpanzee we may be dealing with a case of evolutionary convergence. Gallup showed in the early 1970s that chimpanzees are able to recognize themselves in a mirror. This self-recognition many have interpreted as a degree of self-awareness and self-consciousness. Since monkeys were not able to do the same, while other apes were, it has been suggested that the transition from monkey to ape marks a discrete cognitive step in evolution. However, recently two researchers working on bottlenose dolphin found that dolphins likewise are able to recognize themselves in mirror images. It seems that dolphins, which have branched off quite a different lineage than apes may actually show a similar cognitive evolutionary step as the apes.
This of course does not fully answer your question, but it suggests that both animals have evolved a fairly high degree of intelligence.

As far as chimps being "more" evolved... Just because they came later doesn't mean they are "more" or "less" evolved. Evolutionary success is dependant on how well suited they are to their environment, not how recently they came about. In my opinion the "most evolved" animals are the crocodilians. They are SO well suited to their environment that they have survived virtually unchanged since the age of the dinosaurs, about 220 million years ago (and actually, I find crocodiles to be rather intelligent as well).|||dolphins, coz chimps cant swim

How do i get a permit to have a chimpanzee?
I would like to adopt a chimp, how old do you have to be?|||That is a terrible idea....
Almost all of the chimpanzees you see in the movies, on television, and in advertisements are babies. Because of their infantile appeal many people think they would like to have a chimpanzee as a pet. But, there are many reasons why this is not a good idea.
First, baby chimpanzees belong with their mothers. Every baby chimp you see on television has been taken from its mother and raised by humans. Like us, chimpanzees experience a long childhood and are not considered adult until 13 - 15 years of age. During this long apprenticeship with their mothers and siblings, chimpanzees learn about being chimpanzees. They learn the subtle and complex communication system that consists of facial expressions, gestures, and vocalizations. They also learn the rules of chimpanzees behavior.
While chimpanzees are adorable as babies, they soon outgrow their appeal. By the age of three, a baby chimp is as strong as an adult human. This makes keeping them in the house, as a member of the family, very difficult, as they are so destructive. And, they have minds of their own. For instance, if they want to raid the refrigerator and empty its contents, it is very hard to stop them. As a result, the chimp spends much of its day in a cage.
As chimpanzees reach puberty, starting at the age of about eight, they are usually no longer safe to handle. (That is why the chimpanzees you see in the media are babies.) They are well on their way to their adult weight which can be as much as 150 pounds. At this age, they are usually condemned to live in a cage, alone, for the rest of their lives. Since chimpanzees can live to be 50 years old, they can spend the majority of their lives paying for their infantile appeal.
Sometimes, as the chimp matures, a pet owner may send the chimp to live with other chimpanzees. When human raised chimps, who have been denied the long learning process with their mothers, meet other chimpanzees for the first time, there is a long and sometimes painful transition, as the chimp has to learn the rules of behavior.
Keeping a chimpanzee as a pet is not a rewarding experience for the chimp or the people. It is a journey that begins with the separation of the baby from its mother and often ends with the chimp in solitary confinement for over 40 years.|||You have to be an adult. You have to have a reason (other than "I want one"). Like knowing specific chimp individuals that are in limbo and cannot be released into the wild and need a caretaker. And unless you have experience and training, you're not likely to be allowed to have one.
Chimps do NOT make good "pets".|||Having a permit to posess an exotic animal such as a chimp requires a whole lot of things.
First you must be over 21, you have to pass several state requirements (depending on what state youre in, as most states prohibit any chimps to be kept in anything less than a very secure cage and you must be able to demonstrate your experience to handle this creature.
When they are mature, they frequently overcome their handlers and kill them or do horrible damage, they become extremely difficult to handle.... unless they are placed in a special refuge for animals who are no longer safe among humans.
As adults, they are all going to have to be given up to a refuge as sooner or later they ALL turn on their owners. Chimps do NOT belong in any persons' home. EVER. They are stronger than bears, and less reasonable when they want something, and youre not giving it to them you are in MORTAL DANGER!
Forget about this crack-pot idea and get a dog.|||I understand why you want to have a primate for a pet, but it's a bad idea all around.
It's harder than taking care of a baby and it's a 24/7 job.
Please think it over. Non-human primates will destroy your house, throw stuff, fling poop and touch themselves inappropriately in front of company. They make your house smell bad too. You cannot leave them alone and surely you are not planning on caging the poor thing. It's like having a toddler on steroids in the house. They do become quite hard to manage once they reach adolescence.
Here's a web site for you to check out. Please read Articles/Info and Testimonials and look at the PowerPoint presentation.
Some of the pictures are not easy to look at, but they're real.

Think it over, please. Maybe you can volunteer to work with animals somewhere. That way you can still spend time with them without having the responsibility of having to take them home.
Good luck to you.

How would you compare Chimpanzee to Humans?
How are we alike? We things do we have n common?|||We have lots of things in common- I'll just copy and paste from another answer I gave to a similar question:
Highly mobile digits and opposable thumbs
tactile pads and nails (instead of claws)
abbreviated (shortened) snout
binocular vision
reduced sense of smell
fewer teeth than other mammals
more convolutions in the brain and an increasingly complex brain in relation to other mammals
placental pregnancies
as for behavioral- well if you observe chimps you will see that they are curious, they can solve problems, they nurture their young for extended periods, and they have an identifiable social hierarchy and unique culture, just like we do.|||We're both species of ape. So everything that all apes have in common we have in common with chimps.|||first to anthony, chimps do go to war
chimps also use tools and have a vocabulary of about 30 sounds or words.|||i wouldn't humans are to special to be compared to a chimp|||they tell us we are extremely close - like 98% but I still don't understand why we can't interbreed - not that I want to do it.|||They like to sit around watch tv and eat and get fat like us.|||we share 98 percent of our genetics with them.|||we have eyes :))|||No comparison !

How many chromosomes would there be in a chimpanzee's nerve or bone cells if their skin cells have 48?
Please tell me how you found this out. Thanks.|||All cells in an animal should have the same amount of chromosomes. They all came from the same begins, their zygote. Since the skin cells have 48 chromosomes, then the nerve and bone cells must have 48 as well. However, their sex cells, like sperm (male) or egg (female) have only 24 chromosomes because these cells unite to form one cell, the zygote.|||48, the all the body's cells have the same number chromosomes except the sex cells.|||48
How can I learn to fight like a chimpanzee?
Imagine if you could fight like a chimp and rip peoples faces off?|||There are monkey kungfu techniques that resemble chimpanzee fighting.
How hard is it to teach a chimpanzee how to ride a bicycle?
Since they have better agility and balance than humans I wonder if it takes them less time.|||Well, for one thing a chimp wouldn't fit on a bike because their legs are too short and their arms are too long. It would have to be a custom made bike.
For another thing, they don't understand the concept of a wheel or pedals or anything mechanical, and they can't understand English, so it would be pretty hard to explain the whole idea.. So my guess is that you would have a lot harder time teaching a chimp to ride a bike than normal ten year old kid.|||I hope this is a purely hypothetical question, since no one should ever attempt to teach a chimpanzee to ride a bicycle. Our closest relatives deserve to be treated and presented with more dignity than that. If one is truly interested in learning about chimpanzees, there is an infinite number of more suitable questions that could be posed.

What is your reaction when that chimpanzee attacked that Connecticut women and then shot to death?
I was devastated to hear about it. The woman was crying for losing her beloved chimpanzee. It had mouled her friend, sent her to the hospital in critical condition, along with severing her hands. I feel bad for the owner, along with the victim. Any animal by that chance to me, can strike. Example: The most well trained dog, can attack anyone for any or no reason. I have seen it myself. Yes, she was educated about chimps(obviously owning it for 14 years) and she should of known the disadvantages of owning such a power full animal. I own snakes, they are dog tame, but do bite me once in a while. Not when they are going through sheds, startled, nor hungry. Why? Because they are, and were wild animals. Animals are animals. I treat my 3 dogs(a purebred American Pit Bull Terrier, and 2 purebred German Shepherds)like dogs, because that is what they are. Treating them like humans is just asking for an ill manored dog. That can lead to aggression. My heart goes out to the woman had been mouled, and also to the owner.
The monkey was all she had.
I think exotic pets should be kept in captivity, not pets. If pets, they should be ready for what they are getting into, and should be prepared.|||http://nashtrust.com

|||Well I am in the Stamford area where it happened and I am shocked I didnt't even know that we had a chimp living in my town. I don't think it is the chimpanzee's fault he is an animal and as much as you try to make animals humans they are not. I don't feel that he should have been shot and it is quite weird that the owner in her 911 call said to shoot the chimpanzee. I think there is more to this story that will be coming out soon. I mean the chimp was served wine and even was on Xanax there something more we don't know. I do feel for the woman who was attacked and hope she will be able to have a healthy life after this attack.|||My first response was shock that a chimpanzee could weigh 200 lbs. That's the size of a gorilla.
My next response was sympathy for the woman attacked. I know the damage that can be done by ape attacks. They go for the eyes, the nose. I'm sure she will be scarred for life.
Last, When an animal of this type shows signs of aggression, they need to be removed from home settings. If you think that's cruel to the animal, then put them down. Just because the chimp can dress his self, use the toilet, and whatever, doesn't mean it can't be dangerous. Those actions are simply tricks.|||~~It's so sad. The chimp was being treated for Lymes Disease, and they fear it may have had an adverse effect from the medication. It was such a well loved, smart, and trusted pet, it must be horrific for the owners. Not only was their friend tragically maimed, but they lost their beloved pet besides. I guess the truth is at a certain point, people aren't meant to live with wild animals.~~|||I couldn't believe the stupidity of someone actually

may look cute but if you know anything about them,
they are very violent and dangerous animals.
The owner should be considered responsible and sent
to jail for the rest of their life.|||i was disturbed, but not suprised. chimpanzees can get very violent, the officer had no choice but to defend himself. anyone would do the same! as for the owner, she should be held accountable to some extent because a wild animal doesn't need to be in a home eating, sleeping, etc with a human.|||i feel so sad for everyone involved. this is what happens when we take animals into our homes that should never be there. i heard the 911 tape on the news and was horrified at the fear in the woman's voice. my prayers are with her and her poor friend that was so badly hurt. it was just a bad bad situation that had spun horribly out of control.|||Why can't people realize that you can't tame a wild animal.

Is there any possible way to adopt and take home a chimpanzee in australia?
I understand this is able to be done in america but can it be done in australia and if so how do i go about it?|||No. Private ownership of chimps is banned in every part of AU with one exception. Owners of chimps in NSW can keep them as long as they were licensed before bans were imposed, but cannot sell or transfer them to anyone else - unless that person already holds a license. In 1996 there were only 40 license holders - today there are far less. It is predicted that eventually there will be none.

Chimpanzees end up in wildlife sanctuaries because they are not suitable pets. Responsible sanctuaries do not place chimpanzees in "foster homes" because they know that is not an appropriate environment in which to house a chimpanzee.

Can a professional weight lifter win a fight against a Chimpanzee?
I heard Chimps are four-times stronger then a average man, but those professional weight lifters must be at least that strong. Who would win?|||The Chimpanzee with ease could kill an adult man. This is no joke a Chimpanzee will f@ck you up. Not something to play with or tease in anyway what so ever. Professional or not, your going down. Aside from their pure strength their speed would be inescapable. I would bet if a professional athlete punched a angry Chimp it wouldn't even feel it.
I know you've heard about the woman who was recently attacked but there have been others. The creepiest thing of all to me is that Chimpanzee's specifically go for the head and face. Ripping ears off, biting noses and lips off. Completely maiming and disfiguring their victims. It' happened many times and its just the grossest thing ever.|||No.
Well, not against a full grown 200 plb chimp. A 150 plb chimp can easily rip an average man's arm off. When chimps attack, they are looking to kill because it's their nature. Not just beat someone up. A man, no matter how strong will never be able to beat a grown chimp.|||The ape will win hands down. They also have canine teeth a few inches long.

If a chimpanzee has the strength of 10 men and the average retard has the strength of two men,?
would a retarded chimpanzee have the strength of 20 men? Or is in not proportionally linear?|||well a chimpanzee doesn't have the strength of 10 men. and a retard doenst have the strength of two men, they just seem like it because they are less susceptible to letting pain and/or fear slow them down in a conflict/situation that requires the use of strength.
but for the sake of your question, a retarded chimpanzee wouldnt be any stronger than a regular chimp because most chimps' feral instincts take over anyway.
Lets look at a few examples:
Example A:
A man is attacked by a retard who tries to kill him. The man is strong, but knows that if he hurts a retard it could ruin his reputation. He also isn't used to being violently attacked, so he is slower to react and is cautious about using all his strength because his brain is stil trying assess the situation.
Now the retard is attacking the man in a blind fury of retard rage. He has no regard for fear or pain. All the retard wants to do is destroy the man in any way possible. His lack of feeling and emotion, combined with his rush of adrenaline, makes him appear stronger than the average man during this conflict. However, under calm, controlled cirumstances, the man would be able to outperform the retard in all events that require strength.
Example B:
A chimp is attacked by a retard chimp. The regular chimp's animal insticts instantly kick in, sending him into a wild rage similar to that of the retarded human. He has no fear, for he is hell bent on prtoecting his pride, territory, (baby chimps in the case of a female), etc. The retarded chimp also has no fear or emotions to slow him down, but this doesnt give him any advantage because he is essentially fighting a wild, feral animal, which behaves much like a retard. The regular chimp would likely win because he has quicker reflexes and better focus.|||Its the narrow minded thinking of Men (and I use that term loosely) like DE that stop progression ..
thank you for having the deep insight to ask such a question ...
The answer to your insightful question is ... no ... everyone knows the helmet is the key to the retards strength ... so unless the Chimp is wearing a helmet ... he doesn't gain the benefit ...|||A chimp has roughly the strength of 4 men, not 10. "Retards", whether human or chimp, don't necessarily have any more strength than anyone else.|||that's hilarious. that's the best thing i've read here in weeks. i always like y/a for the intellectual stimulation.|||DUNNO|||It means that it would take five of you to match a chimpanzee's strength.|||So if Corky from The Wonder Years and Crissy had a baby it would have the strength of 20?|||It will still be retarded like this question.|||chuck norris would have the strength of chuck norris

Biology of breeding horse and donkey similar to HUMAN and chimpanzee?
If other species can breed and make offspring (like horse and donkey to get a mule), why can't a human breed with a chimp? Hypothetically of course.|||It's been tried. It didn't work.
Back in the 1930s, Stalin became interested in the idea. Hybrid human/chimp soldiers would have been an advantage. He ordered scientists to set up a program to attempt such crossings. Short answer: It didn't work.
Today's ethics prohibit such research. With Stalin, when women refused to participate the team attempted to fertilize them without their knowledge. Another issue is carrying such a hybrid to term. Implantation of a fertilized egg doesn't happen to to the species differences. There's also the immune system (look up the Rh factor in blood) Finally there's the chromosome differences. It's different between the two species, humans having fused to chromosomes into on.
While much is made of the close kinship with chimpanzee (the estimates range from 99% to 96%) It's good to also consider the variation in the human species. There .01% variation in the DNA of humans. Consider how different humans look with .01 difference and you start to see why human/ape hybrid are unlikely.|||A simple way to look at it is; a horse, a donkey and a chimp are all animals, and a human is a human, totally and utterly different, despite the closeness of DNA with the chimp. The former three are all referred to as "its", while the human is referred to as "him" ;-).|||No, chimps and humans are not close enough (different species and different genera).
Its more like between common and pygmy (bonobo) chimpanzees (both genus Pan) or between homo sapiens and most recent Neanderthal (genus Homo).
Bonobo-chimps hybrids have been reported in circus I don't know if they are fertile or not like a mule.
Recent (30 - 40,000 years) sapiens-Neanderthals presumed hybrids look sickly or dead at a young age.
Having said that, you do what ever you want with your chimp, that doesn't concern us.
@ Kristen
Different numbers of chromosome pairs is not an absolute barrier to hybridization. Human big chromosome #2 is the end-to-end fusion of 2 apes chromosomes, so they could fit.
For example, Mongolian horses (33 pairs) are interfertile with other horses (32 pairs) and produce semi-fertile offspring.
But you're right, all experiments of human chimpanzee hybridization failed.|||Yes the biology is similar but it is a matter of genetic distance.
Horses and donkeys separated from their common ancestor about 3 million years ago, chimpanzees and humans separated from their common ancestor about 6 million years ago so the species have a much greater genetic distance between them which would imply that fertilisation is not possible.
The 1930's experiments give us no real absolute indication of potential species interfertility because when they were carried out it was not even possible to perform in vitro fertilisation between humans so what could not be done them could be possible today, however ethics considerations would not allow such research to take place.|||Can't be done. There has to be a chromosome match for viable offspring. Between Chimps and Humans there is no match.
Clearly, there was between Humans and Neanderthals.
They estimate a separation of about one million years for the two to diverge enough to stop the match. Evidently the 300,000 years which separated us from them, wasn't enough to cause a miss-match because not only did we produce viable offspring with the Neanderthals, we still have 4.5% Neanderthal DNA in modern Humans. A legacy of the time we spent along-side them.|||Impossible. Humans have 46 chromosomes. Chimpanzees have 48 chromosomes. Therefore, the chromosones can't pair up correctly and create a fetus.|||We have different numbers of chromosome pairs, so "breeding" with chimpanzees would not work.

What are the proximate and ultimate causes for a chimpanzee screeching when a predator is near?
Ultimate causes could be to alert the other chimps, and Proximate could be they learned from imitation... but I'm not sure.. More ideas?|||It's known that loud noises sometimes scares predators away. Humans have waved their arms and screamed as loud as they could to deter lions, leopard, etc. With leopards it doesn't always work since they hunt babboons and chimpz which are quite vocal primates.
Ultimately, yes, it's a warning signal to others, but also a deterrant.
Obviously imitation is also a factor to consider, it's basically part of their 'language'.
Fear shouldn't be ruled out, it's something most primates do when they are threatened, even some antelope utters cries of fear.
I hope this helps.

in their native environment chimps eat fruits, their droppings spread the seeds. they also eat monkeys and each other (sick.

"Ignorant and totally unacceptable", "funny and no big deal", or "more suited to the National Inquirer".|||Ignorant and totally unacceptable
Why it was took as being racist is because a lot of the racists societies/people especially in the 60/70s, referred black people as apes/monkeys etc..

If the illustrator was referring to the chimp that was being shot down for mauling the lady in Connecticut, than why bring the president into it and refer the ape to writing the stimulus bill?

Doesn't a chimpanzee or a dog gets punished when they commit felony acts?
If a human is a felon, he serves many years in prison. What type of punishment will a dog or chimpanzee get for felony acts? |||It's obvious they put these animals to sleep.

Ha, just kidding.
Sometimes animals that attack and/or kill people are put down.
But animals aren't held to the standard that humans are, because an animal cannot intend to commit a crime knowingly. Intent is generally what makes a felony.|||Dogs are usually euthanized.
I haven't heard of any chimpanzee's being caught committing a felony|||They get shot.|||Stupid Question....A human knows when he/she is doing right or wrong and if he/she doesn't then, it is brought to her/his attention.

A chimpanzee or dog commits a bad crime such as biting or killing then, most likely the animal gets put down because, this such animal cannot tell right from wrong! A felony act really doesn't exist in an animal.
A bite for instance can have a dog put down for good if another tells authority that the dog just attacked me for no apparent reason. "Chimpanzee", there is no reason for a "chimpanzee" to do any harm unless taught to do so or was abused during its lifetime.
What would you do if you were in the "Chimpanzee's" place or the "Dog's Place", would you know right from wrong?|||usually death...|||not if they hire DoLittle and DoLittle for legal representation - they get PAWrole ; P

Who would win in a fight to the death, Ray lewis of the Baltimore Ravens, or a chimpanzee?
No weapons involved, I'm talking about one on one fight between the two to the death. I say ray lewis hands down would kill a chimpanzee.|||Dude!
I have heard this kind of arguement before,... and I think its ridiculous to think a chimpanzee could beat a BIG, STRONG, physically fit, fully grown man!!!
Chimpanzee's great jaw strength, and have VERY great arm strength, from supporting thier body weight from hanging, and swinging from tree branches all day, but that's it!!!
Chimps are low to the ground, they have short little legs, they have SLOW ground mobility, AND,.. They have no idea how to fight!!! They just grab at whatever they can and tear at it, and try to bite when they can. In addition, they also may try pull the taller human down to their level, to srcatch and bite us. That is all they can do!
However, THAT paired with a chimps raw untamed SAVAGENESS,... IS MORE than enough to mame and disfigure women, especially physically weak middle aged women. Like,... the famous case from 2009. But,... Imagine how much worse it would have been had it been a crazy big strong man,... Like Brock Lesnar trying to kill the women,... they would have been beaten to death in seconds!!!
Ray lewis would kill a chimp!!!
You tell me,... WTF would a chimp do when Ray Lewis punt kicks the chimps short statured head like a foot ball??? Again and again and again!!! When the chimp hits the floor WTF is he going to do when Ray kicks and stomps on the Chimp while he's on the floor??? WTF will it do when Ray punches the chimp in its face!!! The Chimp will F'ing die!!! That's what!!!
Ray lewis may walk away with some scratches, and mild lasereations,...but the chimp will be utterly DEAD!!!
The same is true for just about ANY strong, fit, adult MALE, over 200 pounds, with ANY fight in him!|||There is only 1 way to find this out and I'm sure Ray Lewis would not be down to fight a chimp. Personally I feel a full grown male chimp would destroy any AVERAGE man, but a big 6'1 250lb muscular man who can max bench 600lb and knows how to fight, that's tough to say. I feel it ALL depends on the fight. The chimp would savagely attack and try to pull down Ray Lewis, while Ray Lewis best shot would be to strike the chimp early and hope he's successful. If the chimp took his punches and got Ray to the ground the fight is over and Ray Lewis would be ripped apart. He would instantaneously have his muscles ripped when the chimp yanks at a limb and practically be eaten alive with the chimps impressive jaw power.
The fight would be decided in the first minute, if Ray Scores a K.O. he'll beat the chimp to death. If he fails the chimp would out power and out last the huge man.|||lewis would win eventually...but that chimp would gets its shots in and lewis would have some wounds but not life threatening.
lewis has got a mean streak in him and would initially be annoyed (ie throwing its feces)by the chimp. annoyance and aggression would do the chimp in...but i say the monkey gets some bites in on #52.
joe flacco and anquan boldin would not be pleased lol
EDIT: im saying this would in my opinion...as long as the chimp isnt an adult.|||I hope you're kidding........
A Raging Chimp left *alone* with Ray Lewis.... Ray Lewis will be torn apart... PERIOD

Do you understand, if that Chimp grabs you... You're done, no letting go... unless he bites your hand completely off...
Now.. Adult Chimpanzee are 5-6 times stronger than adult male humans with Enhanced Muscle Fibers %26amp; Thicker bone Structure...
It's great to see that you're all rooting for humans...... but lets tell the truth, We wouldn't have a chance.. not against fully developed male Chimp
I have heard this kind of arguement before,... and I think its ridiculous to think a chimpanzee could beat a BIG, STRONG, physically fit, fully grown man!!!
Chimpanzee's great jaw strength, and have VERY great arm strength, from supporting thier body weight from hanging, and swinging from tree branches all day, but that's it!!!
Chimps are low to the ground, they have short little legs, they have SLOW ground mobility, AND,.. They have no idea how to fight!!! They just grab at whatever they can and tear at it, and try to bite when they can. In addition, they also may try pull the taller human down to their level, to srcatch and bite us. That is all they can do!
However, THAT paired with a chimps raw untamed SAVAGENESS,... IS MORE than enough to mame and disfigure women, especially physically weak middle aged women. Like,... the famous case from 2009. But,... Imagine how much worse it would have been had it been a crazy big strong man,... Like Brock Lesnar trying to kill the women,... they would have been beaten to death in seconds!!!
Ray lewis would kill a chimp!!!
You tell me,... WTF would a chimp do when Ray Lewis punt kicks the chimps short statured head like a foot ball??? Again and again and again!!! When the chimp hits the floor WTF is he going to do when Ray kicks and stomps on the Chimp while he's on the floor??? WTF will it do when Ray punches the chimp in its face!!! The Chimp will F'ing die!!! That's what!!!
Ray lewis may walk away with some scratches, and mild lasereations,...but the chimp will be utterly DEAD!!!
The same is true for just about ANY strong, fit, adult MALE, over 200 pounds, with ANY fight in him!|||There is only 1 way to find this out and I'm sure Ray Lewis would not be down to fight a chimp. Personally I feel a full grown male chimp would destroy any AVERAGE man, but a big 6'1 250lb muscular man who can max bench 600lb and knows how to fight, that's tough to say. I feel it ALL depends on the fight. The chimp would savagely attack and try to pull down Ray Lewis, while Ray Lewis best shot would be to strike the chimp early and hope he's successful. If the chimp took his punches and got Ray to the ground the fight is over and Ray Lewis would be ripped apart. He would instantaneously have his muscles ripped when the chimp yanks at a limb and practically be eaten alive with the chimps impressive jaw power.
The fight would be decided in the first minute, if Ray Scores a K.O. he'll beat the chimp to death. If he fails the chimp would out power and out last the huge man.|||lewis would win eventually...but that chimp would gets its shots in and lewis would have some wounds but not life threatening.
lewis has got a mean streak in him and would initially be annoyed (ie throwing its feces)by the chimp. annoyance and aggression would do the chimp in...but i say the monkey gets some bites in on #52.
joe flacco and anquan boldin would not be pleased lol
EDIT: im saying this would in my opinion...as long as the chimp isnt an adult.|||I hope you're kidding........

How much money would a chimpanzee cost?
right now i am only eleven. but when i get older i want a chimpanzee for a pet. people say that chimpanzees are hard to take care of. also how long do chimpanzees usually live?|||It is not very nice for the chimp to live with people. In the beginning, everything can go fine. But when the chimp gets older, he gets more dangerous. When his hormones kick in his behavior changes.
Chimps are very strong, and start to cause trouble. Then the animal has to go. That is very sad and he will suffer badly from that. The place he will go to could be worse.
You also will feel the loss. Because you would have the face the fact that this lovely chimp who grew up with you and is your friend, has to go.
Spare the chimp and yourself all this horror. Chimps would be far better of if people were not allowed anymore to buy them.|||Chimps are not pets.
Cats and dogs make great pets.|||500 dollars|||You cannot not have a chimp unless you are a research lab, a zoo, or some sort of sanctuary, for the most part.
You don't want a chimp as a pet. They can live 40-60 years in captivity. After they are a few years old, they will be much stronger than you and quite grumpy and wild. The ones you see on TV are infants and toddlers (generally under 3). After that, they become unable to handle and are therefore unfit for cinema work.

Can human sperm fertilize a chimpanzee embryo?
I hear that there is only a 2% difference between human DNA and chimpanzee DNA.
If it is possible, can chimpanzee sperm fertilize a human embryo?|||Nope
Although closely related, humans and chimps have a different number of chromosomes thereby rendering fertilisation impossible|||%26gt; Can human sperm fertilize a chimpanzee egg
That's a big fat We Don't Know. As far as I know, no one's tried this in vitro.
Earlier attempted insemination attempts did not produce any pregnancies, but the trials were of such limited extent that I'd call them inconclusive. The trials were performed prior to in vitro technologies.
As far as "different number of chromosomes" are concerned, horses and donkeys have different numbers of chromosomes and produce hybrid offspring (mules).
Edit: As far as different receptors are concerned, you don't know unless you actually perform the test. To the two biologists who have brought this up, can you cite a reference, a scientific paper by people who actually attempted in vitro fertilization between human and chimp gametes? Remember, horses and donkeys can fertilize each other's gametes -- and they've been separated in terms of years for abouut the same length of time as humans and chimps (and for about twice as many generations since they start breeding younger).|||No on both counts. Chimps and humans are separated evolutionarily by gamete isolation. The sperm of one species can not fertilize the ova of another species for a number of possible reasons, but often due to changes in receptors and ligands on the two cell's surfaces that must interact to allow for sperm penetration.|||The simple answer is that nothing can fertilize an embryo. An embryo has a full duplex genome. Now, as to whether human sperm can fertilize a chimpanzee egg; The answer is that it is very unlikely. Chimpanzees and humans have a different breakdown of the gene set. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and other great apes have 24 pairs of chromosomes鹿. However, cross species fertilization can occur. A bovine can impregnate an antelope' e.g. "beefalo" a cross between cattle and the American bison. Experiments to determine if this is possible between humans and troglodytes would be viewed by many as unacceptable. Since such research would only satisfy morbid curiosity without any expectation of beneficial knowledge, it is unlikely that such experiments will be performed.|||A human sperm could probably peirce the outer coating of a chimp egg, "fertilizing" it, but the embryo that would result would probably not be viable.
The biggest barrier to human chimp hybridization is the difference in the number of our chromosomes, humans having 26 pairs and chimps having 28.
A human chimp hybrid, "humanzee"? "chimpuman"? if even possible, would have 27 pairs and would most likely be sterile.
too bad I say, we humans need a niche competitor ;)|||not at all. The chim's egg will reject the human sperm. The egg has species-specific receptors that ensure sperm from other species cannot pennetrate it.
2% of DNA is a HUGE number when we talk about DNA. Just because it sounds small, doesn't mean anything. Keep in mind, that 2% is what makes us human. Also, this does NOT mean that humans came from chimps. Evolution only states that chimps and humans had a common ancestor many years ago that diverged into two different branches. One branch led to humans and the other led to chimps.|||No- we are DIFFERENT species and have different numbers of chromosomes.|||No.

Why would a male chimpanzee kill a baby chimpanzee?
Once I witnessed a male chimpanzee hitting a baby chimpanzee on the wall through the cage. The baby was bleeding. Its chimpanzee mother trying was to reach it and there was a commotion along other chimpanzees. This lasted until a zoo keeper came with a hose. Why the male had acted like that?|||The males of many species will often kill young they know or suspect are not their own. They do this both to give their own offspring a better chance of survival, and so that the mother will mate again - he can then mate with her, and father his own young. Female chimpanzees try to combat this tendency by mating with many males - that way, all those who mated with her are potentially the father of her young, and will not harm it. In captivity, groups are usually composed of several females and a single mature male to minimize this sort of infanticide - if there's only one male, he knows all offspring born are his. It's possible the one you saw attacking the baby was an adolescent male approaching adulthood - he may have been attempting to get rid of the dominant male's young, hoping to oust him and mate with the mother himself. Zoos usually remove adolescent males from the group before things get to this stage - possibly they had not realized he was old enough to think about challenging the alpha male.|||This is instinctive, and comes from the fact that the males of all wild animals want to make sure "their" genes are passed on to the next generation rather than those of a rival males. If the baby is not his, he does not want it to survive. And, the sooner the offspring is gotten rid of the sooner the female will be receptive to mating again, and this time with "him". It's survival of the fittest.
In some animals, a male will force himself onto a female that's just been mated with so that his sperm will wash out the sperm of the rival male and "his" genes will win out in her fertilization.
Male animals do not always fight among themselves to assure dominance. Sometimes it is done this way to assure their genes are the "dominant" ones.|||He found out it wasn't his kid. Just kidding.
Often times animals will kill off young if they feel that there is not a large enough food supply to support the overall population. In zoos the food supply is so regulated that the male could have felt that there wouldn't be enough food for his whole group so he pick a baby out to kill.

Why is the chimpanzee classified as a troglodyte?
what are some reasons that make a chimpanzee classified as a troglodyte ?|||Chimp was formerly named "Homo troglodytes" ( 'cave man" ) by Carl Linne.
Nowadays, even if they are very similar, human and chimpanzee species are classified into 2 distinct genera: Pan and Homo (for religious reasons I guess).
There is a rule in taxonomy: when a species is reclassified, genus name can change, species name can't.
Of course, Chimpanzees are not troglodyte.

Is there any study concerning the evolution of chimpanzee?
since evolutionists do believe that chimps and human have their common ancestor and just separated along the way...did chimpanzee separated as a chimpanzee while human have undergone various changes ?|||No the chimpanzee didn't separate as a chimpanzee ... it would have evolved just as we did.
The fossil record for the chimpanzee is far less established than that for the Hominin branch that lead to humans (which has a number of different species). This is because chimps are forest animals where bones don't fossilize well, and (since the forests still exist) it is difficult to hunt for fossils. Much of human evolution occurred in the dry regions of what is now the dry savannahs (especially Ethiopia)

Can a human and a chimpanzee have a baby?
