Chimpanzees Name: Chimpanzees Scientific name: Pan troglodytes Range: Tropical Rain Forest, Africa Habitat: Tropical Rain Forest Status:Endangered Species Diet in the wild: fruits,nuts,termites,roots,some plant leaves Diet in the zoo: fruits,bananas,lettuce,nuts Location in the zoo: World of Primates Physical description Infant chimpanzees weigh about four pounds at birth. By adulthood chimpanzees weigh approximately 95-150 pounds and are 3 to 4 feet tall. A chimpanzee's body is covered with short thick,black hair. General information Chimpanzees are very social animals." Chimpanzees as a whole usually live in large groups of 30 to 80 chimpanzees: females, males and their offspring. However, chimpanzees divide into smaller groups for hunting and foraging. This allows them to cover more ground and be able to feed from the best foraging locations (Monkeys and Apes p.26)."Separating into smaller groups also decreases the ' constant ' dissension among competing male chimpanzees "(Monkeys and Apes p.27). "Female chimpanzees give birth to a single infant about every 3 to 5 years so the arrival of a new chimpanzee is special and exciting for the other chimps in the group "(Monkeys and Apes p.28). "Baby chimps weigh only about 4 pounds at birth and are as about as helpless as human babies. Female chimps give their baby lots of love and affection. This love and affection can be seen when the mother chimp cradles and rocks her infant to sleep. Even her breast feeding is second only to that of a human mother" (Monkeys and Apes p.30).

Chimpanzee Scientific Name: Pan troglodytes Geographical Range: Western and Central Equatorial Africa north of the Zaire river Habitat: Tropical Forest or Open Grasslands with access to evergreen fruit bearing trees Diet in the Wild: fruits, nuts, insects, roots, leaves, and occasionally meat (young monkeys, bush pigs, etc.) Conservation Status: Endangered Location in the Zoo: World of Primates Physical Description: Chimpanzees are born at a weight of approximately 4 pounds and but as adults reach a weight that is usually between 95 and 150 pounds (Sheila Clark), but in some case they can exceed 200 pounds. Their bodies are covered with black and brown hair, but their faces are hairless (big zoo). They can have grey especially on the under chin area of older males (which can live to be 35 - 45 years in the wild and as long as fifty in captivity) (SCZ). In addition they have large external ears (big zoo). Chimpanzees arms are unusually long; they are 50 % longer than their body (big zoo). Chimpanzees also have opposable thumbs. In addition there are differences among the three subspecies of common chimpanzee: The Pan Troglodytes Schweinfyrthii (or Eastern Chimpanzee) has longer hair than the others and has bronze or copper facial skin.

Contact Us Search Home Educational Resources Non-Human Primates Non-Human Primates The Essential Need for Animals in Medical Research Introduction AIDS Hepatitis B and C Because chimpanzees are uniquely susceptible to hepatitis viruses, they serve as an important study model for a major worldwide health problem. Medical research conducted with chimpanzees over the last three decades has resulted in the virtual eradication of hepatitis acquired through blood transfusions and the implementation of programs to control hepatitis B infections by vaccination. Today, scientists continue to study the changes in the hepatitis C virus that lead to life-time infections that can progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer. These advances represent landmark achievements in the control of viral hepatitis. Malaria Researchers are beginning to overcome some of the enormous obstacles in developing a vaccine against malaria, a disease that afflicts millions of people annually. New-world monkeys and chimpanzees are the only species suitable for vaccine evaluation because they are susceptible to the same strains of parasites that cause human malaria. Unlike simpler organisms, the malaria parasite has many chromosomes, thousands of genes and a four-stage life cycle as it passes from mosquitoes to humans and back again. A number of promising vaccines that attack the organisms at every vulnerable point in its life cycle are being tested. Some of these have successfully stimulated protective responses in animals and may soon be ready for human trials.

Royal praise for deserving cause Reprinted with permission from The Post and Courier in Charleston South Carolina December 30, 2003 Not many organizations in the world can boast of a royal patron, and it is rare for an entity in South Carolina to be so honored. The International Primate Protection League of Summerville deservedly has such a longtime supporter. Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, sent his greetings on the 30th anniversary of the founding of the charity, which combats the illegal trafficking in primates, including monkeys, lemurs and apes, and operates a sanctuary for rescued animals. "I am delighted to have this opportunity to offer my warmest congratulations (to the League) and my special congratulations to its founder, Dr. Shirley McGreal," he writes. "The League can look back with much pride on its very considerable achievements ... most primate populations around the globe are in a better state thanks to its activities." The prince also commented on the bravery of Dr. McGreal and her supporters in challenging the illegal capture and trade in primates. "This is a very dangerous business and it takes real courage to collect evidence, track smugglers and bring illegal dealers to justice," he wrote. Dr. McGreal tells us that she has met Prince Philip, who is president emeritus of the World Wildlife Fund, many times at wildlife conferences.

Example: [Collected on the Internet, 1999] This petition is being passed around the Internet. This petition is for people who would like to see the Air Force place 143 chimpanzees in retirement sanctuaries. Note by Verena Winiwarter, Vienna: Molecular evidence suggests that humans are 98.4% identical to BOTH chimpanzees and bonobos. Hope this helps your decision! The Air Force owns 143 chimpanzees who are members or descendants of the original colony of chimpanzees used in space exploration. The chimpanzees are currently leased to The Coulston Foundation, a biomedical research facility where many questionable chimpanzee deaths have occurred. The Coulston Foundation is currently under investigation by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for violations of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). The Air Force is planning to relinquish ownership of the chimpanzees and is now considering bids from interested parties. Among the bidders are several groups who want to place the chimpanzees in retirement sanctuaries where they can live out the rest of their lives in peace.

Primates From: Animal People June 1997 Cotton-tops come to Primarily Primates Out of trees Cotton-tops come to Primarily Primates The Primarily Primates sanctuary north of San Antonio has agreed to take in 156 cotton-top tamarins, bred for colon cancer research at the University of Tennessee Marmoset Research Center in Oak Ridge but declared surplus last year due to budget cuts. Photograph courtesy the Santa Ana Zoo Double-click the image above to view a video clip of cotton-top tamarins. This 895-kb file takes approximately 8 minutes to download at 28.8 bps More than 30,000 cotton-tops were taken from the Columbian rainforest during the 1960s and 1970s, but just 236 survive in zoos, along with under 100 at other research facilities and fewer than 2,000 in their remaining wild habitat, much diminished by logging and farming. "In early 1997," Stephen Rene Tello and Laura Joan of Primarily Primates recounted in a joint release, "Primarily Primates accepted 26 of the Oak Ridge cotton-tops and helped secure the placement of the remaining 130 at another facility in California. Then on April 15 we received an urgent call from University of Tennessee researcher Neal Clapp, who explained that the cotton-tops were now literally being evicted. He had only two weeks to place the animals and prevent their destruction. On April 22 the California facility stated it was unable to accept the animals before the deadline." Primarily Primates then agreed to accept the rest––and with them, an obligation to raise $80,000 to build the necessary housing.
