Photo © wildatlasguide — Used with permissionEl chimpancé común (Pan troglodytes) es una especie de primate catarrino de la familia de los homínidos propia de África tropical. Los chimpancés (junto a los bonobos) son los parientes vivos más cercanos al ser humano; su rama evolutiva se separó de la rama de los humanos hace aproximadamente siete millones de años y comparten el 98-99 % del ADN con ellos, lo que ha llevado a Jared Diamond a utilizar el término «el tercer chimpancé» para referirse a nuestra propia especie. Los machos llegan a pesar unos 80 kg en cautiverio y a medir hasta 1,7 m. Se caracteriza por su inteligencia avanzada, a menudo comparada con la de los seres humanos. Por ejemplo, se ha observado que los chimpancés jóvenes se construyen «muñecos» y otros juguetes con palos y bastones.
