CHIMPANZEE

Pan troglodytes

JBC Photography




This fellow looks like some elderly statesman. A wonderful pose. He lives at the San Francisco Zoo with 3 others I think. This photo was taken at their old compound, the one back behind the Patas Monkey enclosure. Now they are located in the enclosure that my most  favorite zoo animal used to live in, Lips the Orangutan. 

I've also seen this same guy get very irritated and he started picking up things, dirt, cloth shreds, you can imagine what else..., and standing on his legs, he began rocking side to side onto one leg then the other. He was yelling all the while and then he would fling what ever he was holding in our direction. Check out some of the photos below and you'll see what I mean.
 Well I found the explanation at this site - just click here: Chimpanzee
