CINCINNATI ZOO GUIDE 
Chimpanzee 
a height of four and one-half feet. Their hair is long and black, 
their legs and feet brown, and their face and nose a dirty flesh 
color. When on the ground they walk on the knuckles of their 
hands. They spend much of their time on the ground, though 
often ascend trees to gather wild fruits, etc. 
Chimpanzees are a great attraction in all Zoological Gardens 
possessing them, but it has been exceedingly difficult to keep 
them in captivity more than three or four years. The Cincinnati 
Garden endeavors to have one or more chimpanzees in its 
collection at all times, and the chimpanzee cage is located in 
the Carnivora Building on account of the need of all the cages 
in the Monkey House for other specimens.
