Common Chimpanzee
The Common Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) is a primate species native to the forests and savannas of Africa. They are known for their high intelligence, social behavior, and ability to use tools. Adult chimpanzees typically weigh between 70 to 130 pounds and have a lifespan of about 33 years in the wild.
Chimpanzees live in communities that can consist of 20 to over 100 individuals. They communicate through vocalizations, facial expressions, and gestures. Their diet mainly consists of fruits, leaves, and insects, making them omnivorous. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect their habitats from deforestation and poaching.
