Chimpancé

El pariente vivo más cercano de la humanidad, compartiendo aproximadamente el 98,7% del ADN, los chimpancés habitan los bosques tropicales y las sabanas arbóreas de África central y occidental.

En Peligro, con poblaciones que disminuyen debido a la deforestación, la caza de animales silvestres y la transmisión de enfermedades por parte de los humanos.
