chimpanzee

黑猩猩是人类最近的现生亲属,与人类共享约98.7%的DNA,栖息于中非和西非的热带森林和稀树草原林地。高度智慧的群居灵长类动物,能使用和制造工具,展示文化传统,并以丰富的发声进行交流,包括独特的喘叫声。由于森林砍伐、丛林肉猎杀和人类传播疾病,黑猩猩被列为濒危物种,种群持续减少。

Common Forest Grape

<em>Rhoicissus tridentata</em> is a woody climbing plant in the family Vitaceae, order Vitales, commonly known as the common forest grape or bushman's grape. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. <em>Rhoicissus tridentata</em> is native to sub-Saharan Africa, where it typically grows in forest margins, thickets, rocky outcrops, and riverine woodlands. It climbs by means of tendrils, often scrambling over shrubs and into tree canopies. The plant produces small, dark purple to black berries that are edible and have been used as a food source by indigenous communities across its range. Leaves are trifoliate — composed of three leaflets — a feature reflected in the species epithet "tridentata." The roots of this species have been used in traditional medicine in southern Africa for a variety of ailments. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
