The Common Chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes. Highly intelligent and our nearest relative sharing approximately 94% of the same DNA as humans. They naturally occur in west and central Africa. The male common chimp is up to 1.7 m (up to 5.6 ft) high when standing, and weighs as much as 70 kg (154 lb); the female is somewhat smaller. The common chimp’s long arms, when extended, have a span half again as long as the body’s height and are longer than its legs. The Common Chimpanzee has an omnivorous diet, and an active troop hunting culture based on beta males led by an alpha male, and highly complex social relationships.
