Each individual in a chimpanzee community has its own distinctive call, called a pant-hoot, so that the group can identify one another with precision.
Humans and chimpanzees share 95 to 98 percent of the same DNA. Biologically, chimpanzees are more closely related to humans than they are to gorillas.
