Hunger for MORE!

Today I finished the Mockingjay!
For the last couple weeks I have been
enthralled in these three books!
Jeremy and I have been both listening via
Audible
I am hoping Jeremy finishes up soon.
Hopefully tonight on the three hour drive to see me he can
I feel like I have a secret that I am having a hard time keeping!

So excited for the movie!

  • Chimpanzees are the most social of all the apes living in communities of between 15 and 120 individuals.
  • Their communities are often split into a number of subgroups with a male as the leader of the group.
  • Males seldom leave the community where they were born.
  • Females often migrate to a new community during an adolescent estrus period.
  • Chimpanzees travel mostly on the ground (terrestrial) by knuckle walking.
  • Chimpanzees groom each other daily, and this activity has an important social function of calming and comforting individuals and solidifying bonds with each other.
  • Mothers often travel alone with their offspring.
  • They construct nests at night in which to sleep.
  • Chimpanzee males in the wild cooperative hunt for meat.
  • Their diet is mainly fruits with regular amounts of insects, as well as birds and small mammals.
  • Chimpanzees use tools to gain access to food, such as fishing for termites with sticks fashioned for the job and cracking open nuts with anvil-like rocks.
  • Females in estrus have a prominent swelling of the pink perineal skin, lasting two to three weeks and occurring every four to six weeks.
  • Females give birth every 4 to 5 years and their gestation period is 8 to 9 months.
  • Chimpanzees have a long mother-infant dependency period where infants will nurse on their mothers for 5 years and stay with their mothers several more years learning to care for younger siblings.
  • The life span for chimpanzees is 40 to 50 years in the wild and over 50 to 60 years in captivity.
