Chimpanzee
Chimpanzee, often shortened to chimp, is the common name for the two
extant species of
apes in the
genus Pan. The better known chimpanzee is Pan troglodytes, the
Common Chimpanzee, living primarily in
West, and
Central Africa. Its cousin, the
Bonobo or "Pygmy Chimpanzee" as it is known archaically, Pan paniscus, is found in the forests of the
Democratic Republic of the Congo. The
Congo River forms the boundary between the two species. Chimpanzees are members of the
Hominidae family, along with
gorillas,
humans, and
orangutans.
