The chimpanzee has an advanced cognitive map of its home range and can repeatedly find food.

Chimpanzees sleep alone in separate nests except for infants or juvenile chimpanzees, which sleep with their mothers. [59]

In trees, both species climb with their long, powerful arms; on the ground, chimpanzees usually knuckle-walk, or walk on all fours, clenching their fists and supporting themselves on the knuckles.

Female bonobos possess sharper canines than female chimpanzees, further fueling their status in the group. [54]
One of the classic behavioral characteristics of hamsters (subfamily Cricetinae) is food hoarding. Hamsters carry food to their underground storage chambers using their spacious cheek pouches. [20] A hamster "can literally fill its face with food." [21] When full, the pouches can make the hamsters' heads double, or even triple in size. [20]
The limbs are evenly sized and the fingers and toes are more elongated than those in baboons, [20] with a more opposable big toe on the feet. [21] The mandrill is the most sexually dimorphic primate, [ 22 ] and it is the largest monkey . [ 23 ]
