udopt'r choice
Chimpanzee lives in groups that can range in size from 15 to 150 members, although individuals travel and forage in much smaller groups during the day. They have a strict male-dominated hierarchy, where disputes are generally settled without the need for violence.
Nearly all chimpanzee populations have been recorded using tools, modifying sticks, rocks, grass and leaves and using them for hunting and acquiring honey, termites, ants, nuts and water. The species has also been found creating sharpened sticks to spear small mammals.
udopt it because
- Chimpanzees are classed as endangered according to IUCN’s Red List. Chimpanzee numbers in the wild have significantly declined in the past 30 years and that decline is set to continue unless we take action.
- Poaching, hunting for bushmeat, habitat loss and outbreaks of contagious diseases are some of the issues to blame for their decline.
- Adopting a chimpanzee with Born Free will help care for rescued orphaned chimps in Born Free-supported sanctuaries in Uganda and Cameroon.
- Adopting a chimpanzee makes for a fantastic gift. Not only will it delight and educate the recipient but funds will go towards Born Free’s critical work.
- Adoption programmes start from as little as £3.00 a month.
