How fast does a chimpanzee run in the wild?

Chimpanzees in the wild can run surprisingly fast, reaching speeds of up to 35 kilometers per hour (22 miles per hour) in short bursts.

However, it's important to remember a few things:

* This is a top speed, not a sustained pace. Chimps can't maintain this speed for long distances.

* Terrain affects their speed. They'll be faster on open ground than through dense forest.

* Individual variation exists. Some chimps may be faster than others.

It's also worth noting that chimpanzees primarily use their speed for short bursts of energy, often to escape danger or chase prey. They rely more on their strength and climbing abilities for navigating their environment.
