San Diego Zoo Chimpanzee Overview
The San Diego Zoo houses chimpanzees in a large, mixed-species habitat designed to encourage natural behaviors. The troop participates in managed breeding and enrichment programs.
Chimpanzee Behavior and Habitat
Chimpanzees are highly social primates that live in complex groups. At the zoo, they climb, forage, and use tools, reflecting behaviors seen in wild populations across Africa.
Conservation and Research
The zoo supports chimpanzee conservation through research and partnerships. Programs focus on habitat protection, anti-poaching efforts, and public education about primate welfare.
