In the fictional DC Universe, Detective Chimp (alias Bobo T. Chimpanzee) is a chimpanzee wearing a deerstalker (in honor of Sherlock Holmes) with human-level intelligence who solves crimes, often with the help of the Bureau of Amplified Animals, a group of intelligent animals, like Rex the Wonder Dog. He is capable of conversing with all animals, regardless of origin, in their own language, including all spoken and written human languages. He is also one of the most highly skilled investigators in the world, with detective skills rivaling those of Batman and Ralph Dibny.
