Savannah chimpanzees

Savannah chimpanzees are a subgroup of chimpanzees found in the savannah regions of West and Central Africa. Unlike forest-dwelling chimpanzees, they adapt to open, grassy habitats and often have a leaner build with longer limbs. These chimpanzees exhibit similar behaviors to their forest counterparts, such as tool use, social bonding, and foraging, but may also face unique challenges like differences in diet and predation risks. Their adaptability highlights the flexibility of chimpanzee species in thriving across diverse environments.
