Whats the difference between a chimpanzee and a orangutan?

and in your opinion which ones cooler and which one should i study.|||Orangutans a larger and more human-like in my opinion. However, chimps seem to have more personality when I see them at the zoo. They are more energetic and always swinging. I would study the chimp if it were me.|||I work at the Kansas City Zoo (Security, nothing to do with animals) but i got to hold both chimps and orangutan babies... i suggest studying the orangutan. I loved the baby orangutan. She was much more in tune with the world around her.

Both are fascinating and both, unfortunately, are endangered (though I think Orangs are more so).





My favourite is the Orang Utan because they're gentler (and they're ginger).





Good luck.|||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimpanzee

Chimps are cooler - much closer to humans on the ape tree. Much smarter.|||Orangutans mostly stay in trees and swing on vines and chimpanzees usually walk with their knuckles in fount of them and are more 'ground' monkeys/apes.





Chimpanzees are cooler and are more energetic and fun (their cuter too). ;)|||Chimps have black hair/fur and are smaller than orangutans with orange hair/fur. Also, orangutans have massive strength despite their "fat" looking bodies.|||is the orangutan better at ice skating? the chimpanzee should be studied but only if you're not enjoying it too much!! ;-)|||Chimps are more intelligent, and they are knuckle walkers. Orangutans do not walk on their knuckles.
