Fascinating Fact:

Chimpanzees are “great apes,” along with bonobos, gorillas, orangutans, and humans. According to the Project ChimpCARE census, there are approximately 2,000 chimpanzees in the U.S. At one time, most of them were confined to laboratories, but today there are more chimpanzees living in sanctuaries than in any other captive setting.
