African Wildlife Painting of Chimpanzees
In this painting of Chimpanzees I was once again interested
in the human like interaction that exist between adult chimpanzees
and their offspring. The mother has a strong bond with her offspring
and these relationships are often lifelong. The 'pout face' expression
of the young chimpanzee is typically a sign of anxiety or frustration
but this expression is also associated with begging and temper
tantrums in juveniles
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.
