Have you ever wanted to know mankind’s closest relatives in the animal kingdom?
This blog will glimpse the incredible lives of Chimpanzees and what we can do to ensure that they are protected now and in the future.

Chimpanzees also spend the majority of their time eating in trees. Chimps eat more than 300 different things, mostly fruits, berries, leaves, blossoms, and seeds, as well as bird eggs, chicks, many insects, and occasionally carrion.
Chimpanzees, like humans, are highly social beings.
They live in communities of several dozen animals, led by an alpha male and his coalition of male allies.
Female chimps are more trusting, cautious, and considerate, according to research. Chimpanzees bond by grooming each other and removing ticks and filth.
