Eastern Chimpanzee
The Eastern Chimpanzee, scientifically known as *Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii*, is a subspecies of the common chimpanzee found primarily in the forests and woodlands of central and eastern Africa. They are known for their high intelligence, social behavior, and ability to use tools, which they employ for foraging and other tasks.
These chimpanzees typically live in large communities and exhibit complex social structures. Their diet mainly consists of fruits, leaves, and insects, and they play a crucial role in their ecosystem by aiding in seed dispersal. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect their habitats from threats like deforestation and poaching, which endanger their populations.
