The chimps werent scared, but they were intent on finding the source of that. So, if a group of humans could balance on each others shoulders and climb over the wall, why couldn’t chimps do the same thing? Chimps are continuing to surprise us with their similarities to humans, like chimp spirituality, for example, and its not out of the realm of possibilities that chimps could figure out a way to scale the wall. The sanctuary is fortunate to receive regular visits from bald eagles. Although chimps have been rumored to be five times stronger than humans, they actually have “only” double the pulling strength. According to a 2006 study, bonobos can jump one-third higher than top-level human athletes and their legs can generate as much force as humans nearly two times heavier. The walls of the enclosure in the video, while high, seem like they could be scaled by organized chimps. Some dogs, cats, rats and guinea pigs were even bred to be hairless by humans. It can have many different causes, such as natural processes (seasonality or aging), biological dysfunctions (vitamin or mineral imbalance), genetic mutations, diseases or parasitic infestations. Adults are very often bald, usually a triangle on the forehead of. Hair loss from the head or body is technically called alopecia. The Chimp enclosures I’ve seen at zoos always seem to have some kind of moat that would prevent them from escaping. Chimpanzees are about 3 to 5 feet tall and weigh from 99 to 176 pounds. The two bald chimps appear to have Alopecia universalis, an autoimmune disorder in which their immune system attacks their hair follicles. A chimpanzee had, pound for pound, as much as twice the strength of a human when it came to pulling weights. Soon the rest of the chimps in the enclosure join in the brawl. Repeated tests in the 1960s confirmed this basic picture.
