Chimpanzees and humans are alike in many ways. A baby chimp laughs when its mother tickles it. After chimps fight, they kiss and make up. When one chimp comforts another, it gives it a hug or pat on the back. There are, of course, many ways that chimps and humans are different. Chimpanzees are smaller and stronger than humans. An adult male chimp stands 3 or 4 feet tall and weighs about 100 pounds. But a chimpanzee can lift more weight than a man who is six feet tall!

Chimps live in groups and like each other a lot, but sometimes they fight. However once they fight, they don’t want to stay angry at each other. They make up by holding a hand out to the other. They show they are sorry with pats and hugs and then the anger goes away.
