The average height of an adult chimpanzee when standing erect is approximately 3 to 5.5 feet (1 to 1.5 meters). These results suggest that brain weight declines moderately with age in the chimpanzee as it does in humans. Chimpanzees exhibit limited sexual dimorphism, or differences between the sexes, in size. When the effect of sex on brain weight was statistically controlled for, the loss of brain weight with age was 0.9 g/year (P = 0.07). Two young chimpanzees sitting in a green leafy tree next to an adult. Climbing structures with horizontal perching areas, varying in size and height, that allow for. Simple linear regression performed on the combined material from females and males aged 7 years and older revealed a decline in brain weight with advancing age of 1.1 g/year (P < 0.05). be fed, 5 to maximum 25 of the total weight of the diet. This sex difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). The adolescent and young adult chimpanzees had the largest brain weights in these two age groups combined, the mean brain weight (+/- standard deviation) was 368.1 g (+/-37.3) for females (n = 17) and 405.6 g (+/-39.4) for males (n = 17). Adult brain weight was achieved by the age of 7 years. The brains were taken from 9 infants (birth to 1 year of age), 25 juveniles (1-7 years), 13 adolescents (7-15 years), 21 young adults (15-30 years), and 8 old adults (over 30 years). The bite force of a gorilla (1,300 psi) is also much greater than the chimpanzee bite force. On the bench press, a silverback gorilla can lift a weight of 4,000 lbs, while a chimpanzee can lift 1,250 to 2,000 lbs. We examined fresh brain weights from 76 chimpanzees ranging in age from birth to 59.4 years of age. A gorilla has about twice the size and weight of a chimpanzee. A wild adult female typically is about 1.5 metres tall and weighs about 7090 kg.
Captive gorillas of both sexes may grow quite fat and hence become much heavier. The survival analysis revealed the maximum life spans of female and male chimpanzees to be about 59 and 45 years, respectively. Males are about twice as heavy as females and may attain a height of about 1.7 metres (5.5 feet) and weight (in the wild) of 135220 kg (300485 pounds). To place the study in context of the empirical life expectancy of the chimpanzee, we first performed a survival analysis on data from 275 chimpanzees that were maintained in the colony of the Yerkes Primate Center. In view of these contrasting results, we examined the pattern of brain weight across the life span in the chimpanzee, one of the closest biological relatives of humans. Studies on human postmortem material report lower brain weights in older than in younger cohorts, whereas there is no apparent change with age in the rhesus monkey.
