The apes found in the Ngogo community have a relatively untouched life, with abundant food, no natural predators, and little human influences. The researchers suspect that the previously low averages for chimp life expectancies may be down to which communities were being studied and the level of disease outbreak and anthropogenic disturbances they are facing. Average Life Span In The Wild: 45 years Size: Four to 5.5 feet Weight: 70 to 130 pounds Size relative to a 6-ft man: IUCN Red List Status: Endangered LC NT VU EN CR EW EX Least Concern Extinct. (Goodall, 1986 Jones, et al., 1996 Napier and Napier, 1985 Nowak, 1999) In addition to disease. Breeding begins when a chimp is 13-15 years of age. Babies stick close to their mothers for the first 3-4 years of age, then gradually venture further until they leave their mothers at age 10.
“Our study finds that while maximum lifespan differs a great deal, the differences in average lifespan are not as dramatic as typically thought, especially when chimpanzees are not subjected to major negative impacts caused by humans.” Lifespan/Longevity Chimpanzees can live from 40 to 60 years. The average chimp lives to be around 15-30 years old in the wild, or 30-40 years in captivity. The longevity of chimps is about 45 years in the wild and 58 in captivity however, older individuals have been documented. “It has long been proposed that there are extreme differences in the life expectancies of human hunter-gatherers and chimpanzees,” explains Yale University’s David Watts, co-author of the study published in the Journal of Human Evolution, in a statement.
