Confidence votes 40. Chimpanzees rarely live past the age of 40 in the wild, but have been known to reach the age of 60 in captivity. Two chimps associated with the Tarzan role of Cheeta are still alive, and alleged to be 70 to 80 years old (born 1931 or 1932). There is no way to reliably ascertain their true ages.

Chimpanzees have been studied at 41 sites, but there are a few long-term study sites and notable scientists that have been sources of invaluable discoveries about chimpanzee biology, society, and culture. In 1960, Jane Goodall began the first long-term study of wild chimpanzees (P.t. schweinfurthii). Her research in Tanzania at Gombe Stream National Park led to significant discoveries about social relationships, tool-use, and warfare in chimpanzee societies.

Chimpanzees are one of our closest relatives, sharing about 98% of their genes with humans. They have thickset bodies with long arms that extend beyond their knees, short legs, opposable thumbs, and no tails. Much of their body is covered with long black hair, but the face, ears, fingers, and toes are bare. Behavior & Diet.

One study found that average life expectancy for chimpanzees across five field study sites was only 15 years. But for those chimpanzees who survived to adulthood, which in this study was defined as 12 years old, their life expectancy was an additional 15 years. Of course, many wild chimpanzees live well beyond 27 years – the oldest wild chimpanzee was estimated to be about 63 years old when she died.

Search the internet for “chimpanzee lifespan” and you will often read that chimpanzees live 40-50 years in the wild and 50-60 years in captivity, or something to this effect. This was the standard line when I first started to learn about chimps, but it now appears to be wildly inaccurate.

The oldest chimpanzee in an American Zoo is a female, Little Mama, who lives in Lion Country Safari, West Palm Beach, Florida. Estimated to be born in 1938, she is thought to be nearly seventy years old. Chimpanzees that make up the current zoo population are living longer than their predecessors. The current mean age of zoo chimpanzees is in the mid twenties. This low figure is due to a very high infant mortality rate.

Not all chimpanzees live in their natural African habitats, free to move about their territory in search of food and other chimpanzees. About 500 chimpanzees live in zoos in the United States alone. Some of the older chimpanzees in zoos today were born in the wild and captured for sale.

The chimpanzee is the mammal most like a human. They are noisy, curious, intelligent, and social. Chimps live in loose communities that can number anywhere from 10 to more than 100 individuals. They can share a home range that they protect from intruders and will sometimes forage for food in groups.

Noisy and curious, intelligent and social, the chimpanzee is the mammal most like a human. Chimpanzees fascinate humans and are favorites both in zoos and the wild. Three subspecies of common chimpanzees are distributed across the forest zone of Africa from Guinea to western Tanzania and Uganda.
