Chimpanzeeexhibits strong maternal bond...

Apart from the important role of teaching her offspring “how to be a proper chimpanzee”, the mother ape also provides them with much love.
She breast feeds her baby chimpanzee for up to 4 years (comparing to humans, that’s long) and during that time the bond is constantly reinforced through various physical gestures.
Chimps develop faster than us up to about 3 or 4 years of age. They start walking and clambering around trees at about 5 months, while we only start walking around 12 months of age.
