	Chimpanzee
		Chimpanzees were first thought of by non-Africans as "half-man, half-beast," with the hooves and tail of a horse.
		Chimpanzees spend almost 50% of their waking time feeding and around 13% moving from one location to another where food is available.
		During the 1980s, chimpanzees were bred extensively for HIV research, only to be determined in the 1990s that they were not as useful a "model" as anticipated, because the animals do not develop the AIDS-related complex seen in humans.

	This New Ocean - Ch12-7
		Some 11 hours before the launch, Enos, the 39-pound chimpanzee, underwent his final physical examination, stood still as his medical sensors were taped on, allowed himself to be secured in the specially constructed primate couch, and rode in the transfer van to the gantry.
		Thereafter Enos' condition was monitored by lines connected to his couch in the Mercury capsule and by radio telemetry.
		The only time Enos displayed agitation was when he was roused by the opening of the hatch during a countdown hold caused by a telemetry link failure at T minus 30 minutes.

		Chimpanzees were chosen because of their similarities to man in biology and because of their small stature.
		In turn, this would stop the shock they the chimpanzee was experiencing, or prevent it from receiving the shock, or it would allow the animal to retrieve food pellets or water in the case of the orbital flights.
		Enos was a male chimpanzee that was used to test the Mercury capsule and Atlas rocket that would be used to send astronaut John Glen into the first manned American orbital flight.

		Chimpanzees act similar to humans because they have the same emotions of joy, anger, grief, sorrow, pleasure, boredom, and depression as well as the ability to comfort and reassure one another by kissing and embracing.
		Chimpanzees mature as adults by about age 13 and sons stay with mothers for life, while daughters may move to another party.

		The Mercury spacecraft was recovered 1 hour 25 minutes after the water landing, and Enos was recovered in seemingly excellent condition except that the extreme heat had obviously plagued him.
		During the postflight medical examination of Enos, there was to be considerable concern over the variations in cardiac rhythm which had been recorded by the instruments developed for this flight.
		Eminent cardiologists were asked to review the records and biological data obtained during the orbital flight of Enos, to determine the reason for the arrhythmia, if possible, and to separate it from the influences exerted by weightlessness in space flight.

		These chimpanzees were to be used to gauge the effects of space travel on humans.
		After showing the "right stuff," the chimpanzees were reassigned to "hazardous mission environments." In one such "environment," the development of the seat belt, the chimpanzees were subjected to perilous levels of force while in restraints in deceleration sleds.
		Under the divestiture the chimpanzees would either be given to a research laboratory, or be retired to a sanctuary.

		The mission was planned for three orbits, which would test the new worldwide tracking and communications network set up for Mercury.* Re-entry from orbit would test the capsule's ability to withstand the higher speeds and temperatures, compared to re-entry on the suborbital Redstone flights.
		During the flight, Enos had the task of pressing levers in response to flashing colored lights.
