Flash Chimpanzee

Introduction

The Flash Chimpanzees (Ieiunium primatibus) are omnivorous animals who are native to the land of Africa. Specifically, flash chimps can be primarily located in Central and Western Africa such as Uganda, Tanzania and Senegal. Over the last 100 years, the species has spread all throughout Africa and some of Western Asia. Now there are over 1 million Flash Chimpanzees living in the world, making them the second most common animal behind humans.

In the year 2019, Flash Chimpanzees, were coming close to extinction with a population of about 155,000 chimpanzees living in Africa. These animals were being poached and sold as pets across the continent of Africa in the early 20th century. However, these Flash Chimpanzees quickly adapted to new ecosystems because of humans destroying their habitats. In the year 2048, scientists discovered the first camouflage Flash Chimpanzee. Since that year, there has been a 20% increase in their population across the globe. A few years later, Flash Chimpanzees sanctuaries were put in place throughout the jungles and forests in Africa, to help protect them from poachers.

Etymology

The word Ieiunium primatibus (Scientific name of Flash Chimpanzees) comes from Latin, meaning fast. In 2049, the Chimpanzee's name was changed to the Flash Chimpanzees, due to their lighting quick speed and the incredible way they got around from tree to tree.

Habitat and Population

The Flash Chimpanzees are mainly located in Central, Western Africa and Southern Asia. Specifically, 51% of the Flash Chimpanzee population comes from Uganda, Tanzania, Indonesia and Morocco. For the most part, Flash Chimpanzees like to live in wetlands and rainforests because of the high biodiversity in these areas. The main predator in these areas to Flash Chimpanzees are leopards because of their sneaky approach to attacking baby Flash Chimpanzees. Nevertheless, Flash Chimpanzees have displayed numerous times that they can also group up and hunt a leopard when needed. Over the past 15 years there has been a significant increase in the amount of Flash Chimpanzees living in big cities. Scientists Carmelo Anthony and Tyler Blevins from Harvard University, have researched that Flash Chimpanzees like to live in larger cities, due to the fact that they can feast on human food that is left over. Flash Chimpanzees have only a 6% chance to catch a human disease when near humans, because of their developed immune system. Humans are attempting to teach Flash Chimpanzees sign language, so they can try and communicate with them better in big cities. A 45 year old zoologist from the University of Oxford has said, “ By the next 10 to 15 years, the Flash Chimpanzees species will be able to count to 1000 and can speak basic sign language to communicate with humans.”

In the year 2120, there has been estimated about 930,000, to 1.2 million Flash Chimpanzees living in the world and their population is rapidly increasing. Over the past 50 years the female gestation has slowly been increasing from 8 months to about 4 months. It has been studied that Flash Chimpanzees have a 38% chance to have twins and 12% change to have triplets. 100 years ago it was unheard of for these species to be pregnant with two or more babies. It's estimated that female Flash Chimpanzees get pregnant once every 2 years. The female reproductive system has played a major role on why Flash Chimpanzees are the second most common animals in the world. These species are very social creatures and they tend to travel with 20 to 75 other Flash Chimpanzees. Flash Chimpanzees are now learning how to survive past the age of 70 because of their intelligent minds. A big part is due to their opposable thumbs which helps them pick up tools and make food using sticks and rocks.

History

Flash Chimpanzees are the closest related animal to humans. New data and researches have said that humans share almost 98.7% of DNA with Flash Chimpanzees. However, the original Chimpanzees were a species of great apes and they originated in the tropical forests and savannas of Africa. Before the first Flash Chimp existed, they were originally known as just Chimpanzees. There was found four subspecies of the original chimpanzees: Central chimpanzee, Western chimpanzee, Eastern Chimpanzee and Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee.

In the 20th century, there was a rapid growing population in Africa which was cutting into the protected areas of the chimpanzees. Trees were being cutdown in the African rainforests by humans. As a result, many living organisms such as bark, insects and termites were being killed. This affected the chimpanzees because what they mostly ate came from those trees. Additionally, baby chimpanzees were being stolen and captured from their mothers during the early 2000’s. People would use baby chimpanzees as pets and exploited them in circuses for money because how cute they looked in suits and costumes. Humans were a large portion on why the chimpanzees were on the verge of extinction.

Evolution

Over the last 100 years the chimpanzees species, has evolved into what is known as Flash chimpanzees. Their physical and behavioral characteristics has been developing over the last 60 years. For example, the original chimpanzees were born with black hair and cute faces. However, the Flash chimpanzees have shades of green colored camouflage hair all around their body. In the early 2060’s, scientists discovered that baby Flash chimpanzees, were being born with green hair because it helped them hide from humans and predators in the rainforest. In addition, chimpanzees used to be kept as pets partially because of how adorable they looked. Now baby Flash chimpanzees are being born with ugly faces, as a result there has been a 61% decrease in Flash chimpanzees being bought as pets, since 2068. An average size of a Flash chimpanzee male is about 4 to 5.5 feet and they weigh on average 90 to 130 pounds. On the other hand, females are a bit smaller. On average they are about 3 to 4.5 feet and weigh 55 to 110 pounds.

A unique feature of the Flash chimpanzee which has been the same for many centuries now is their opposable thumbs. Their opposable thumbs help them swing from branch to branch and climb up tall trees in the rainforest. Flash chimpanzees are considered the second most smartest animals in the world because of how they make and create tools. Also, they use their thumbs to make stones and anvils to crack open nuts to eat. One of Flash chimpanzees favorite foods are termites. Flash chimpanzees will use a stick or twig and leave it in a termite hole for a few minutes. Then they will take it out and eat the stick filled with yummy termites.

The original chimpanzees would rely heavily on their sense of smell to catch food and to travel. Studies show that Flash chimpanzees with good eyesight and a higher quality of hearing, were able to survive in the wild longer than normal chimpanzees. As the original chimpanzees were dying off, Flash chimpanzees were being born with these abilities which improved their population in the wild. This is why Flash chimpanzees are able to hear footsteps from a half a mile away. The diet of a Flash chimpanzee mainly consists of eating insects, seasonal fruit and vegetation. Sometimes if they are in a group of 5 to 6 other Flash Chimps, they can prey on larger animals such as wild pigs, birds, and antelopes.

Summary

Over the last century, the Flash chimpanzees were able to adapt to certain circumstances in order to survive and prevent themselves from being extinct. A major part of the success of Flash chimpanzees surviving in the wild, was the change from being born with black hair to green camouflage hair. This made it extremely hard for poachers and big predators, to catch or kill the Flash chimpanzees. Also, the Flash chimpanzees made major essential changes to their physical traits which helped them remain alive. The increased female reproduction rate was also key for the growth in population for Flash chimpanzees. Everyday more and more Flash chimpanzees were being born. Finally, Flash chimpanzees have built a stronger immune system to catch human diseases because a lot of the time they would live near a big crowd of people. Today Flash chimpanzees are one of the most flourishing animals on the planet.
