Chimpanzee
n.
An african ape ( Pan troglodytes , formerly Anthropithecus troglodytes , or Troglodytes niger ) which approaches more nearly to man, in most respects, than any other ape. It is the most intelligent of non-human animals, and when full grown, it is from three to four feet high. A variant called the pygmy chimpanzee , or bonobo , has been recently recognized as a separate species.
