Habitat and Rangee
Between 170,000 and 300,000 chimpanzees are estimated across its range in the forests and savannahs of West and Central Africa. Their habitat is in the forests of central Africa. Chimpanzees spend most of their days in the tree tops. We can find them in Congo,Gabon and Cameroon.
Predators/Enemies
Chimps and bonobos are primarily rainforest animals, and the top predator in the African rain forest is the leopard. Leopards rank number two among chimpanzee and bonobo enemies: A leopard is strong enough to tackle a full-grown chimpanzee or even a gorilla, although it would no doubt prefer to attack one of the younger, easier-to-kill members of an ape family.
Defense Mechanisms
One of the many important defense mechanisms to a chimpanzee is their sharp teeth. A chimpanzee bites its enemy or predator -injuring the animal- giving the chimp time to run away and escape. Chimpanzees also use their fingers to claw at their enemies.
