Chimpanzees are highly intelligent and social primates, belonging to the family Hominidae alongside humans, gorillas, bonobos, and orangutans. Native to central and western Africa, these animals exhibit complex behaviors such as tool use, cooperation, and problem-solving abilities. They have a muscular build, with long arms designed for swinging through trees, and are covered in thick black hair, except for their face, hands, and feet. Chimpanzees live in large communities with distinct hierarchies and social structures. Adult males typically weigh between 70-130 pounds, while adult females weigh between 50-110 pounds. Their diet mainly consists of fruit, leaves, nuts, insects, and occasionally smaller mammals. Chimpanzees are currently listed as an endangered species due to habitat loss, hunting, and disease.
