When it comes to the behavior of chimps, there are both adorable and revolting actions. In families, the members can show affection in numerous ways. They may hug, shake, pat, kiss, and smile. Remarkably gentle with babies, a chimp will groom, hush and play with an infant. There is also ugly behavior. Venting anger on the younger, a frustrated male will restore his fragile ego. Aggression is prominent when establishing social hierarchy. Whooping, yelling, drumming, stomping, and angrily hurling dirt and sod, a chimp will intimidate his foe. But in a family which is closely knitted together, there is no real aggression following the threats. The behavior of chimps is fascinating in many aspects.
Among chimps, there exists two other interesting ape species. Many confuse apes and monkeys, despite the fact they are certainly different. Notably more intelligent, while also lacking a tail, the ape is easily distinguished from the monkey. Following the chimps, we must introduce the gorillas and orangutans. The gorillas, which are the largest of the apes, live in groups of about fifteen, while the orangutans, which are the second largest, live alone. They have unique reddish fur and other features. They are my favorite ape. Returning to chimps, we find that they are the smallest of the apes, although they are three times stronger than the human male. Interestingly, the size of a chimp’s group varies on the presence of food. More food means more chimps. The chimp is an omnivore, while the gorilla and orangutan are herbivorous. Although chimps resemble humans in most respects, my favorite ape is still the orangutan. Which among the ape species do you find remarkable?
