Many endangered species living in the Congo Basin Rainforest. They spend most of their days up on tree tops. They stay and sleep on tree tops in order for predators, such as humans and leopards, to not catch them and kill them. They only go on the ground when they are going to hunt for food, but other than that they'll spend their days on trees, swinging from one place to the other. Chimpanzees don't really interact with other species besides theirs. If you call interactions hunting for prey then they do interact with insects, monkeys, pigs and antelopes. Chimps are omnivores, which means they are fruit and plant eaters but they also consume meat, including carrion. In the dry seasons they will eat buds and blossoms, soft pitch, stems, galls, honey, bark and resin, seeds and nuts. Chimps forage on the ground, meaning they look for food on the ground. While they are searching for food other troops, other animal groups, will move around their territory, but will not destroy their home or territory. The other groups of animals never stay in a place too long, so by the time chimps return, the vegetation is recovered. Chimps never compete with other animals, such as monkeys for food on the ground. Male chimps are considered adults until the age of sixteen and female chimps can start to reproduce at the age of thirteen. Males tend to stay in their community or group that they are born into, but females move between different communities during their adolescence years. When female chimpanzee have offsprings, their newborns are helpless at birth. After a few days from being born, it holds on to the mothers hair and at five to seven months rides "jockey style' on their back. By four years, the infant walks on its own but stays close to for about five to seven years. This is a way chimpanzees interact with their own species. Chimpanzees belong to groups called troops, and they stay in groups to protect their food resources and their territory. Chimpanzees don't ever go out of their environment, the rainforest, they stay there all their life.
