- Chimpanzee Chim*pan"zee (ch[i^]m*p[a^]n"z[-e]; 277), n. [From
the native name: cf. F. chimpanz['e], chimpans['e],
chimpanz['e]e.] (Zo["o]l.)
An african ape ({Pan troglodytes}, formerly {Anthropithecus
troglodytes}, or {Troglodytes niger}) which approaches more
nearly to man, in most respects, than any other ape. It is
the most intelligent of non-human animals, and when full
grown, it is from three to four feet high. A variant called
the {pygmy chimpanzee}, or {bonobo}, has been recently
recognized as a separate species.
