the body’s height and a chimpanzee’s arms are longer than its legs.[7] The bonobo is a little shorter and thinner than the common chimpanzee but has longer limbs. Both species use their long‚ powerful arms for climbing in trees.

Today‚ there are two species of chimpanzees: Common Chimpanzee (Pan Troglodytes) and bonobo (Pan Paniscus)‚ both are in the same category as humans‚ monkeys‚ and gorillas.

Then two species broke off into separate lineages‚ one ultimately

Tool Use Among Chimpanzees Jane Goodall was the first person to ever document seeing a non-human animal create and use tools. (Atkinson) We now see that tool use among chimpanzees is not uncommon. Upon this discovery we have figured out they have many ways to use and craft tools. There is a bit of a difference between tool uses and acquisition among wild and captive Pan troglodytes. The wild chimpanzees have all types of materials to choose and work from in the wild and rely more on tool use for
