Chimpanzee \Chim*pan"zee\ (ch[i^]m*p[a^]n"z[-e]; 277), n. [From
   the native name: cf. F. chimpanz['e], chimpans['e],
   chimpanz['e]e.] (Zool.)
   An african ape ({Pan troglodytes}, formerly {Anthropithecus
   troglodytes}, or {Troglodytes niger}) which approaches more
   nearly to man, in most respects, than any other ape. It is
   the most intelligent of non-human animals, and when full
   grown, it is from three to four feet high. A variant called
   the {pygmy chimpanzee}, or {bonobo}, has been recently
   recognized as a separate species.
