According to Minervini et al (2016) the brain of the domestic pig is a rather small size compared to the mass of the animal. [45] The tremendous increase in body weight imposed by industrial farming significantly influences brain-to-body weight measures, including the EQ. [45]
Thus, large whales have very small brains compared to their weight, and small rodents like mice have a relatively large brain, giving a brain-to-body mass ratio similar to humans. [4] One explanation could be that as an animal's brain gets larger, the size of the neural cells remains the same, and more nerve cells will cause the brain to ...
Chimpanzee hand (left) compared to human hand. Chimpanzee bodies are covered by coarse hair, except for the face, fingers, toes, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. Chimpanzees lose more hair as they age and develop bald spots. The hair of a chimpanzee is typically black but can be brown or ginger.
Adult chimpanzees in the wild weigh between 40 and 65 kilograms (88 and 143 pounds). Males can measure up to 145 centimetres (57 inches) and females up to 120 centimetres (47 inches) in height. The chimpanzee's body is covered with coarse black hair, except for the face, fingers, toes, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet.
This is a list of large extant primate species (excluding humans) that can be ordered by average weight or height range.There is no fixed definition of a large primate, it is typically assessed empirically. [1]
It is a means for comparison, not an indicator of absolute bite force. In short, if an animal or species has a high BFQ this indicates that it bites hard for its size after controlling for allometry. Hite et al., [ 3 ] who include data from the widest range of living mammals of any bite force regression to date, produce from their regression ...

A chimpanzee's testicles are unusually large for its body size, with a combined weight of about 4 oz (110 g) compared to a gorilla's 1 oz (28 g) or a human's 1.5 ounces (43 g). This relatively great size is generally attributed to sperm competition due to the polygynandrous nature of chimpanzee mating behaviour .
