They inhabit rainforests, dry savannah and grassland. Diet Chimps primarily feed on fruit, but they will also consume seeds, nuts, flowers, leaves, insects, eggs, and vertebrates, including monkeys. They are mainly terrestrial, but do spend time in the trees. They move quadrapedally, as well as leaping and suspending through the canopy. They occasionally walk on two legs.
Chimpanzees are diurnal.
Reproduction Females give birth to one young after a gestation period of eight months. They have a very scattered occurrence and suffer from the destruction of their habitat and hunting for their meat. They are also used by humans for scientific research. There are approximately 150,000 chimpanzees.
