Title - ' Family Matters '


African Wildlife Painting of Chimpanzees
This wildlife painting is of a baby chimpanzee with its mother. Chimpanzee mothers often create lifelong relationships with their offspring and I wanted to emphasize this strong family bond that exists with chimpanzees. The mother stares from without the painting in a protective manner clearly making it known that she is willing to fight off any one threatening her baby.

Some facts about Chimpanzees
The Chimpanzee is mostly located in the tropical forests of western and central Africa and has been placed on the endangered specie list. They can grow to a size of up to two meters and a weight of up to 89 kg. The Chimpanzee has a life expectancy of 30 to 40 years in the wild and 45 to 55 years in captivity. They are omnivores, feeding on fruits, leaves, seeds, stems, bark, insects and meat.

Female Chimpanzee reach sexual maturity at the age of six to ten years with males reaching sexual maturity between the ages of seven and eight years. Gestation usually takes between 230 and 240 days. Similar to humans, mother Chimpanzees often create lifelong relationships with their offspring.

Chimpanzees are very sociable primates using their facial expressions, vocalizations, body language, grooming and even kisses and pats to communicate. The 'pout face' expression is typically a sign of anxiety or frustration. This expression is also associated with begging and temper tantrums in juveniles. It has also been found that Chimpanzees use a medicinal plants to treat themselves for illness and injury.
