This friendly chimpanzee offered a friend of mine a hand shake during a visit to the Mendoza zoo in Argentina. I wouldnt recommend shaking hands with chimps though, I believe they are quite strong and could hurt you if they were so inclined. Still, my friend’s folly (thanks Nigel) was my gain in the end. This is one of my favorite images. Hope you like it. Hope it moves you.

We visited a chimp sanctuary on Ngamba Island, Uganda. Many of the chimps had been rescued from poachers and the illegal pet trade. This is my original “Chimp Brow” turned into black and white

This chimp was sitting very quietly in its enclosure at Auckland Zoo. It seemed deep in thought. Photo was shot using a Canon EOS 350D.

A mother chimpanzee cradles her baby as it suckles. A beautiful scene which I was very honoured to experience at close quarters in Cameroon. Taken with Nikon D50.

This pic is almost identical to A Dream Come True and Julie Langford has kindly enhanced it. That means it is now large enough to buy and a Redbubbler has kindly asked to purchase a copy. This is me a couple of weeks ago in Cameroon. I was working at the Limbe Wildlife Centre, looking after rescued primates. Most had been rescued from the illegal bushmeat and pet trade. I fulfilled one of my long-held dreams: to hold and play with chimpanzees

This is dear little Mayos. She is a beautiful chimpanzee with whom I was so priviledged to spend some time at the Limbe Wildlife Centre in Cameroon. She even fell asleep in my arms one afternoon. Mayos was seized from a hunter by a missionary family in the forest. She later received 24 hour care from a lovely lady called Sandy. She is now thriving, as you can see from the picture. The number of chimpanzees in the wild has dropped steadily since 1960. At one time, over one million chimpanzees inhabited more than 25 countries in Africa. Now, scientists think that there are only 150,000 to 235,000 chimpanzees. Only six African countries have healthy wild breeding populations. Chimpanzee habitat has been destroyed to make farmland, to provide trees for the logging industry, and to build roads. Baby chimps are captured for the illegal pet trade. Primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall estimates that for each baby chimp taken as a pet, ten other chimps are killed – one mother and several relatives killed protecting the baby. For every ten babies that take the journey oversees in a small closed crate, only one survives the journey. Do the math on that, and it is 100 dead chimps for each one that makes it to the foreign pet trade – alarm bells should be ringing, but sadly they aren’t ringing loudly or quickly enough. Taken with Nikon D50.

I had the very great privilege of working with rescued primates in Cameroon at the Limbe Wildlife Centre. Whilst there I cared for 4 young chimpanzees, all rescued from the illegal bushmeat or pet trade. I think this is Ilor, a lovely little chimp.

Chimpanzee…... Chimpanzees rarely live past the age of 40 in the wild, but have been known to reach the age of more than 60 in captivity. Cheeta, star of Tarzan is still alive as of 2008 at the age of 76, making him the oldest known chimpanzee in the world. Chimpanzees make tools and use them to acquire foods and for social displays; they have sophisticated hunting strategies requiring cooperation, influence and rank; they are status conscious, manipulative and capable of deception; they can learn to use symbols and understand aspects of human language including some relational syntax, concepts of number and numerical sequence. Young chimpanzees have outperformed human college students in tasks requiring remembering numbers. “Take me home ….....” was featured in Primate Art “Take me home ….....” was featured in Friends of RedBubble “Take me home ….....” was featured in Exotic Mammals

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. Chimpanzees live in social communities of several dozen animals, and can habituate themselves to African rain forests, woodlands, and grasslands. Although they normally walk on all fours (knuckle-walking), chimpanzees can stand and walk upright. By swinging from branch to branch they can also move quite efficiently in the trees, where they do most of their eating. Chimpanzees usually sleep in the trees as well, employing nests of leaves. Chimps are generally fruit and plant eaters, but they also consume insects, eggs, and meat, including carrion. They have a tremendously varied diet that includes hundreds of known foods. Females can give birth at any time of year, typically to a single infant that clings to its mother’s fur and later rides on her back until the age of two. Females reach reproductive age at 13, while males are not considered adults until they are 16 years old. Information source: http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/chimpanzee.html
