The fascinating hairless chimpanzees

Check out this footage of Mongo and Jambo, a father and son duo who suffer from alopecia, which is the general medical term for hair loss. Sadly Mongo passed away last year (2016) at age 22. He was undergoing a routine health check for his enlarged neck gland at the Twycross Zoo, but failed to come around from the anesthetic. Jambo is still very much the boss since he is the alpha male in the group of chimpanzees.

He's not hairless. He just likes to show off his gains.

They look terrifying without hair, when you can see how ridiculously muscular they are.

If you pay close attention it seems as though he had some irregularity with a lymph node in his throat, perhaps his thyroid. Ultimately something was causing him to have an absurd amount of hormones. Additionally the short doc stated he suffered from alopecia. It is well known that in humans high levels of androgenic hormones can cause hair loss ie alopecia. How fascinating life is.
