Chimpanzees and Skunks
By Thomas Lippiard
Sorry!
Man! Something stinks!
2
Chimpanzees and humans are alike in many ways. A
baby chimp laughs when its mother tickles it.
Ouch!
After Chimpanzees fight, they kiss and make up.
When one chimpanzee comforts another, it gives it
a hug or a pat on the back.
3
You might think that because chimps are so much
like us we would let them live in peace . But we
dont.
4
And they usually have a part running down the
middle of their heads. Sometimes their hair even
sticks out sideways!
Its easy to tell the two types of chimps apart.
Bonobos are slightly smaller than common chimps.
5
Like humans and other primates, chimps use the
precision grip for holding objects between the
thumb and fingers. They use this grip when
picking up small objects.
6
A chimps FEET ARE REALLY LIKE AN EXTRA PAIR Of
hands. Using their thumb- like big toe, chimps
can wrap their feet around a tree trunk or a
branch.
So when climbing, they can grip with both their
feet and hands.
7
Skunks and their relatives make up a family
of mammals known as mustelids.
8
Mustelids may be small, but they can hunt animals
that are much bigger than they are. This is
partly because they have very strong jaws and
sharp teeth.
9
Otters spend most of their time in water.
10
Wolverines are aggressive hunters, but they have
never been known to attack people.
11
Musk is a skunks only defense, and it doesnt
have an endless supply. So a skunk only sprays
when it has to.
