Chimpanzees are great apes that live in Africa’s tropical rainforests, from Sudan and Tanzania in the East to Senegal and Angola in the West. Democratic Republic of the Congo has the largest population, although chimpanzees have become extinct in some areas.
Here is one shot of a chimpanzee sleeping at the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro.
The chimpanzee, also known as the chimp, is a species of great ape native to the forests and savannahs of tropical Africa.
Chimpanzees are listed as endangered in the wild. The North Carolina Zoo is actively involved in wild chimpanzee conservation in Uganda’s Kibale National Park, which boasts the largest chimpanzee population in East Africa.
Here is one lying down at the zoo to get some rest.
