A chimpanzee has opposable thumbs and their ability to climb, and sharp canine teeth which they use to threaten others with. Another adaptation is their strong arms to swing and climb the trees with. They also nest build to avoid predators through the night and to sleep safely.Oscar, the star of Chimpanzee, is perfectly suited to his jungle home. That's because our closest living relatives are well adapted to their environment. An adult chimpanzee, like Freddy, the leader of Oscar's family group, can be up to six times stronger than the average human and grip with both his hands and feet, giving him great climbing and swinging ability. You might be able to clamber up a tree or swing from a vine but you'd never keep up with Freddy.

Chimpanzees also have long arms compared to their bodies, and their shoulder, elbow and wrist joints are very flexible allowing them to swing from one branch and grab on to another almost as easily as we can reach forward and pick up a pen.
