Pan
Pan is a genus of primates that includes two extant species: the bonobo (Pan paniscus) and the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). Both species are native to sub-Saharan Africa and are currently considered endangered due to habitat loss and illegal wildlife trade.
Taxonomy[edit]
The genus Pan is part of the family Hominidae, which also includes humans, gorillas, and orangutans. The two species of Pan are more closely related to humans than to gorillas or orangutans and share approximately 98.7% of their DNA with humans.
Pan paniscus[edit]
The bonobo, also known as the pygmy chimpanzee, is smaller, leaner and darker than the common chimpanzee. They are found in a small area of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Pan troglodytes[edit]
The common chimpanzee is found across a wide range of sub-Saharan Africa. They are larger and more robust than bonobos, with males being significantly larger than females.
Behavior[edit]
Both species of Pan are highly social and live in large, complex social groups. They are known for their high levels of intelligence and have been observed using tools in the wild.
Conservation[edit]
Both species of Pan are currently listed as endangered by the IUCN due to habitat loss and illegal wildlife trade.
