They have been recorded in montane forests up to 3,000m. Populations in drier areas tend to occur at lower densities than those in closed canopy forests or mosaic woodlands.
Chimpanzees are primarily diurnal.
They typically forage for six to eight hours and may cover a distance of 1.5 to15km. Chimpanzees sometimes stalk, kill and eat young antelopes and primates, and may hunt co-operatively. Infanticide has also been recorded among chimpanzees. Download the entire 'Chimpanzee Threatened Species Account' for the latest, detailed information.
