Why would a chimpanzee attack a human? earlier in the week, a pet chimpanzee left a woman in critical condition after attacking her mutilating her face and hands. the owner, who tried to stop the attack, was also injured in the process.



the chimpanzee,was shot and killed by police officers at the scene. it was a smart chimp, which appeared on tv commercials during such acts that a human does.

but, in 1996, the chimp might have bitten another woman.

the chimp was reported suffering from lyme disease, caused by a tick-borne bacterium and known to cause fatigue, joint problems and mental difficulties.

chimps in the wild are not used to people—they're afraid of them.So, really wild chimps don't attack people. But in captivity, they have learned in the meantime that they are stronger than humans.



the chimpanzees are way stronger than the humans. chimp are 5 times stronger than humans!!even a pro wrestler could not take down a adult male chimpanzee.



from this article, i learned that chimapnzees are not such a good pet to keep! they are dangerous animals! they are also such macho animals, so, next time when we see a chimpanzee, don anger them, if not we will become their punching bag!
