There are two species of chimpanzees. The common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and the Pygmy chimpanzee (Pan paniscus).
Chimpanzees can't swim, but sometimes will go in water that is not over their heads.

They love babies and care for them like humans do. The babies stay with their mother for 2 to 4 years.
