On average, they reach a height of about 4 feet when standing upright, and weigh between 90 and 130 pounds. Their bodies are covered in brown or black hair, their feet resemble hands, and they do not possess tails. Chimpanzees are reputed for their agility and dexterity; their hand-shaped feet are just as dexterous as their "true" hands, which they use for grabbing and manipulating objects, or for climbing and hanging off of surfaces.
