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.
