"Decades of patiently watching chimpanzees and gorillas in the wilds of Central
Africa has revealed for the first time long-lasting, cooperative, social
relationships can develop between the two species.

Within the Goualougo Triangle – a conservation stronghold in the Republic of
Congo – the two endangered animals often cross paths.

While these interactions can occasionally turn aggressive, especially on the
fringes of Nouabale-Ndoki National Park, more often than not, western lowland
gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) and chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in the
250-square-kilometer slice of forest (100-square-miles) peacefully coexist.

In fact, they seem to get along famously."
