DID YOU KNOW? The relationship between a mother chimp and her child is the most important of all chimpanzee relationships. Like human infants, newborn chimpanzees are entirely dependent on their mothers for warmth, protection, transportation, and nourishment. In their natural habitat, chimpanzees nurse for 5 years. During this time, mothers teach them what to eat, what to avoid, and how to interact socially. Even after a chimp is grown, he will often return to his mother for comfort or emotional support. |
Your support helps provide care for the more than 250 chimpanzees in our care.
Thank you!
