Chimpanzee

**What it looks like :** Females and males look alike although when in season the female can be told apart from the male due to large pink swellings. The Bonobos are similar to the chimps but are slightly smaller and have slimmer body and longer limbs. **How it is suited to where it lives :** Chimps are threatened by hunting and habitat loss. Today there are thought to be around 100,000 chimps left in the wild. Again this is due to illegal capturing, bush meat trade as well as habitat loss. **What it feeds on:** They feed mostly on a diet of fruit, leaves and seeds however groups of chimps may occasionally kill and eat other monkeys, birds and even antelopes. **Other information:** The chimps and Bonobos live in very similar habitats, usually in mangrove swamps above or below the water line where each adult will build a new nest each night 3 – 10m above the forest floor. Chimpanzees are a highly intelligent species of ape. They walk on all fours or swing from trees. Chimpanzees live in large social units and move together as a pack between 15-120. ||  ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||
