The New Chimps
The chimpanzees, commonly termed chimps, have become a significant population in today's society. They majorly dominate the savannah of Tropical Africa. Chimps have four and a fifth confirmed subspecies. They are closely related to Bonobo and have unique characteristics. The paper addresses the unique characteristics of chimps.
Chimps Group's territory
Male Chimps protect their group's territory by forming a paramilitary patrol. The paramilitary control is conducted weekly in a single file (The new Chimpanzees, 2014). They lead the family and keenly listen to the tress passers. The males jealously guard their territories and resolve any threats through brutal attacks. Therefore, the males protect their group's territory by conducting silent and surreptitious territorial patrols.
Establishing Dominance

Functions of Grooming
The key function of grooming is establishing a reliable and sustainable relationship between each other. Besides, grooming allows the chimps to create affection among themselves. In most cases, the mothers groom their children. For instance, the video shows a chimp female grooming her child by removing dirt from the skin (The new Chimpanzees, 2014). The process allows it to create a sustainable affection with the child. Therefore, it is justifiable that grooming plays a substantial role in creating a connection between the chimps and their young ones.
