Description: Chimpanzees are very social animals." Chimpanzees as a whole usually live in large groups of 30 to 80 chimpanzees: females, males and their offspring. However, chimpanzees divide into smaller groups for hunting and foraging. This allows them to cover more ground and be able to feed from the best foraging locations (Monkeys and Apes p.26)."Separating into smaller groups also decreases the ' constant ' dissension among competing male chimpanzees "(Monkeys and Apes p.27).
