A chimpanzee is an animal that lives in some forests of Africa. It looks like a monkey in some ways, but it is not a monkey, and it does not have a tail. Chimpanzees are part of a family of animals called apes. Gorillas are apes too, but they are much bigger. Chimpanzees are very smart and sometimes use tools to get food.
Did you know that a chimpanzee traveled into space before humans did?
