Champanzees & bonobos (Pan)
Chimpanzee, sometimes colloquially known as a chimp, is the common name for the two extant species of ape in the genus Pan where the Congo River forms the boundary between the native habitat of the two species:
- Common Chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes: the better known chimpanzee lives primarily in West and Central Africa.
- Bonobo, Pan paniscus: also known as the "Pygmy Chimpanzee", this species is found in the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
