Description
Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives, sharing more than 98 percent of our genetic blueprint. Humans and chimps are also thought to share a common ancestor who lived some four to eight million years ago. You could even receive a blood transfusion from a chimp if you shared the same blood type! I guess they get moody like us as well !!
The bushmeat industry, the pet trade and deforestation all threaten wild Chimpanzees, only found in west and central Africa.
Taronga's Chimpanzee family is recognised internationally as one of the most significant in human care in the world. Taronga Zoo was one of the first to house and exhibit Chimpanzees as a group and has an extremely successful breeding record, 13 offspring born in the last 20 years.
THis is 4 year old youngster and older male swigging round, actually I think the male tries to catch the youngster who I think its a girl.
