In between swinging off trees and eating bananas, chimps apparently enter into "deals" which sees them swap meat for some sexy time, but the chimps don't just get it for one night only, it's a long-term deal that sees male chimps 'continue to share their catch with females when they are not fertile, copulating with them when they are.'

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany reported their findings in the journal PLoS One, explaining that those male chimps who shared their meat were two times as likely to get some action in the bedroom... (well maybe not the bedroom, but their desired location)
