Best Answer

Chimps can be acculturated, meaning they can adopt many aspects of human culture. For instance, one chimp named Lucy was famous for drinking scotch, watching TV, and reading magazines. However, chimps can never truly be domesticated. They begin the process of maturation around the age of 6-8 (being considered adults when they are 13 (females) and 15 (males), respectively). This is when they start to become aggressive and territorial, traits that aid them in their forest habitats. Because of this, they can be extremely unpredictable.
