Chimpanzees are my favourite animal because they are great climbers they are smart,strong and they can be also heavy. Some Chimps can be small and some can be very big. Chimpanzees are the closest living relatives to humans with 99 percent of their DNA. Some apes also know sign language. did you know that there are four types of apes chimpanzees,gorillas,gibbons and orangutans these four types of apes were found in africa. Unlike monkeys apes don’t have tails apes are more intelligent than monkeys as their brain is larger to develop more. Other than the gorilla all apes are very skilled to climb trees. Gorillas is the largest ape standing about 6 feet tall and weighing around 275 kg. The smallest ape is the gibbon,which only has the height of 3 feet and weighing around 10 kg.
