Chimpanzees (_Pan troglodytes_) are endangered animals, and the illegal pet trade is one of the biggest threats to their survival. Chimpanzees are wild animals and should not be kept as pets. They are not domesticated and can be dangerous, especially when they are stressed or frightened.
If you are interested in learning more about chimpanzees, there are many ways to do so without buying one. You can visit a zoo or wildlife sanctuary, watch documentaries, or read books. You can also support organizations that are working to protect chimpanzees in the wild.
