The Chimpanzee

The chimpanzee (also known as the chimp for short; scientific name pan trogoldytes) is a species that inhabits the dry and moist forests of the Congo Basin. It is very similar to humankind in that it is highly social by nature, cares for its offspring for years, and can live for more than 50 years. Even though it spends most of its time in the tree tops of its habitat, it also spends some of its time on the ground. When it does this, it usually travels on both its hands and feet, though it can travel on just its feet for at most a mile. It uses sticks to fish termites out of their mounds to eat, and it uses bunches of leaves to sop up water to drink.

The chimpanzee is classified as an Endangered species. It is this close to becoming extinct because it is poached for food, as bushmeat is one of the main sources of food for the people of West and Central Africa. Because of this, the World Wildlife Fund's (WWF's) effort to save it consists of helping governments within its habitat establish and manage national parks for it with antipoaching patrols, as well as looking for ways to reduce the impact that the bushmeat trade has on its population.
