I know plenty of people are terrified of snakes but it's hard not to appreciate the beauty of the Green Tree Python

Chimpanzee populations are being threatened due to a range of factors throughout Africa with habitat loss being one of the biggest impacts. Forests are being cut down for the timber, mining and farming industry and the resulting fragmentation of the forests results in chimpanzee families becoming isolated which can have dramatic impact on breeding and migration patterns. Poaching of chimpanzee for the illegal pet trade and the bush meat industry continues to reduce chimpanzee populations throughout much of Africa. Some wild chimpanzees are also taken for traditional medicines and scientific research. As humans and chimpanzees are so closely related, chimpanzees are susceptible to the same diseases that affect us. In some parts of A...

The western lowland gorilla is found inhabiting the tropical jungles and forests of western and central Africa, along with lowland swamps and secondary forests.

Parts of the western lowland gorilla’s territory have also been taken over by civil unrest in recent years, which, along with poaching, has had a truly devastating effect on wild populations.
