Images of the #Chimpanzee#Ufiti that give off intense #cryptid vibes. This chimpanzee was apparently a captive individual released in Malawi, according to Benson (1968). Despite that conclusion, this primate still makes appearances in #Cryptozoology works.
Interesting fact of the day: A chimpanzee is about 1.3x to 1.5x stronger than humans when it comes to pulling, jumping, and lifting with the legs in general. However when it comes to physical strength in terms of pushing humans are significantly stronger than chimps. Similarly while our legs arent as strong in terms of explosive power (jumping) we are many times better at endurance (using our leg muscles for longer). A human can cover a much farther distance on foot than a chimp could.
So the general factoids about chimps being stronger then us are very misleading. They are simply adapted to be stronger at the sorts of tasks they are suited for and weaker in others, while humans are stronger than a chimp in other ways.
