Chimpanzees are found across a west-east of equatorial Africa. They have about 98 percent of human gene, so chimpanzees are hey are highly social, care about their offspring and can live over 50 years. Chimpanzees are omnivores (eating plants and meat). Their diet includes leaves, fruit, seeds, tree bark, plant bulbs, tender plant shoots, and flowers. They also eat termites, ants, and small animals.

 Chimpanzees are an endangered species. They live in multi-male, multi-female communities. Chimpanzees make and use tools and even famous for using plants with medical value. They use facial expressions to convey emotions as humans do.
