chimpanzee

Humanity's closest living relative, sharing approximately 98.7% of DNA, chimpanzees inhabit tropical forests and savanna woodlands across central and West Africa. Highly intelligent, social primates that use and make tools, display cultural traditions, and communicate with rich vocalizations including the distinctive pant-hoot. Endangered, with populations declining due to deforestation, bushmeat hunting, and disease transmission from humans.

Sphingomonas pseudosanguinis is a Gram-negative aerobic rod resembling but distinct from blood-associated sphingomonads. It has been isolated from hospital environments, clinical specimens, and diverse soils. This aerobic chemoheterotroph is occasionally an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised patients.
