Common chimpanzee

Common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) group.

As an aside, WMZ have a series of collectable badges with several of their species, but I think the picture used for the chimp one is actually a bonobo if I'm not going mad.

Do you know how approximtely many (and sex ratio) are in this group nowadays? I know they have done exchanges with the Chester group in the past- the subgroup at Chester named after coins(Farthing etc) derived from here.

I'm not sure to be fair Pertinax, it's only really orangutans where I tend to know about individuals in apes - to me these are all chimpanzees :p

I took some family tree pictures in August 2011, I don't know how accurate they are these days, but if there are any discrepancies I assume it won't be many:

I think you have probably got all the Chimps they have in this photo- looks like 2.5 from your 'family tree' photo(thanks for uploading). I don't take that much interest in Chimps normally either (apart from the weird set-up with all those groups at Twycross!)- just this photo caught my attention.;)
 
Again, I'm not a fond Chimp lover more an Orang guy myself! However, one of the best photos I've seen on Zoochat, I have no idea why I like it! It's a Chimp. :D
