chimpanzee

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site, so please be patient with me. I'm beginning a novel that is set in a zoo, and is written from the point of view of the animals. The main character is a chimpanzee, and I want him to be able to interact with other animals. So do you know if any other...

Pan troglodytes. Part of the indoor exhibit, showing all six chimps shortly after having been fed.

This thread is about pure subspecies of common chimpanzees in zoos. Chimps are zoo staples and receive less interest than gorillas and orangutans. However, chimps may well become critically endangered soon. Zoos normally mixed chimps from different parts of Africa. Now there is a breeding...

Hey so we now have a lowland gorillas in Europe, a bonobos in Europe and an orangutans in Europe page, so there's clearly one that we're missing!

8am. The start of what would become a glorious trip to the wilds of Kent had begun. Myself and pocket have been visiting zoos together for nearly a year now, and already have various notable collections under our belt (Twycross, Chester, the ZSL zoos etc) and many more planned. On our continuing...

So a couple of years back I learnt of the TNO, and their experiments with chimpanzees. I further discovered that, in the early 2000s I believe, they formally stopped keeping the chimps and decided to send them to zoos and rescue centres to live out the rest of their lives. This got me...

Hello! Does anybody know the ages of the chimps in the group? I know there are 2 males and 3 females; Karel and Pedro, and Gusta, Lilly and Soko :) thanks

Ok so Pertinax challenged me...so I'll do the zoos I do know! Pretty much all in the UK/Netherlands, so everyone help me out! I'll start with the basics; the zoos that Zootierliste says have western chimps. There are 58 that keep them (counting a zoo in Israel and a zoo in Kazakhstan). Of...

Well, I guess I'll continue the trend following MagpieGoose doing orangutans and rhinos, and Elephas doing elephants. Chimpanzees in the UK! These are the 11 zoos in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland that house chimps. Belfast Zoo = 2.6 (Andy Lewis, Kim Lizzie Sophie Phoebe Pixie...

Yancheng Safari Park in Changzhou, China. The zoo said it was a young chimpanzee, but some people thought it looks like a bonobo.
