This tidbit regarding the social friendships among chimps might be interesting:
Captive chimpanzees fail to help others in their social group, even when it causes no inconvenience, a behavioural study in Nature journal has found. Humanlike attributes shown by chimps include tool use and maybe rudimentary language skills, but this study suggests altruism is not among them. Other researchers said that captive chimps may be less socially inclined.
