Our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom
Chimpanzees are among the few animals that use tools. They use sticks to extract termites, rocks to crack nuts, and leaves as sponges to drink water.
Chimps live in complex social communities led by an alpha male. They communicate through vocalizations, facial expressions, and gestures.
With only 150,000-250,000 remaining in the wild, chimpanzees are classified as endangered due to habitat loss and poaching.
