Chimpanzee Trekking in Kalinzu Forest
Chimpanzees are the main draw of Kalinzu Forest. Chimpanzees are now only present in 21 African nations down from 25. Chimpanzees may go extinct in ten more nations over the next decade, according to researchers and conservationists. Although there are about 5,000 chimpanzees in Uganda, 90% of the chimpanzee population has been destroyed in the previous 80 years. Chimpanzees are fascinating because they appear and act like humans. In fact, they share at least 98% of our DNA. Chimps give birth every 5 years and raise their offspring until they are around 12 years old. They live in huge communities, each with its own distinct culture. Chimpanzees are extremely clever and have been observed using a range of tools and techniques to hunt insects, smaller primates, and antelopes. Chimpanzee groups, unlike gorilla families, are constantly developing, with female adolescents, in particular, leaving the group to join others.
