How long will chimps breastfeed their young?

Answer 1

2 weeks

Actually chimpanzee children suckle for approximately 4-5 years, but will occasionally be weaned a little younger if their mother has another baby. But the bond with their family will last their entire life.

Answer 2

The female chimp has an estrus cycle of about 34 to 35 days. While in heat, the bare skin on her bottom becomes pink and swollen, and she may mate with several males. She normally gives birth to just one baby, which clings tightly to her breast and, like a human baby, develops rather slowly. An infant can sit up at 5 months and stand with support at 6 months. It is still suckled and sleeps with its mother until about 3 years of age, finally becoming independent and separating from her at about 4 years. Sexual maturity is reached between 8 and 10 years.

Answer 3

Till the age of about 3 to 4 and a half years old.

Answer 4

1 year
