Chimpanzees appear in Western popular culture as stereotyped clown-figures and have featured in entertainments such as chimpanzees' tea parties, circus acts and stage shows. The biggest threats to the chimpanzee are habitat loss, poaching, and disease. Between 170,000 and 300,000 individuals are estimated across its range. The chimpanzee is listed on the IUCN Red List as an endangered species.

The infant is weaned at about three years old but usually maintains a close relationship with its mother for several years more. The species has also been found creating sharpened sticks to spear small mammals. Nearly all chimpanzee populations have been recorded using tools, modifying sticks, rocks, grass and leaves and using them for hunting and acquiring honey, termites, ants, nuts and water. The species lives in a strict male-dominated hierarchy, where disputes are generally settled without the need for violence. The chimpanzee lives in groups that range in size from 15 to 150 members, although individuals travel and forage in much smaller groups during the day. It is larger and more robust than the bonobo, weighing 40–70 kg (88–154 lb) for males and 27–50 kg (60–110 lb) for females and standing 120 to 150 cm (3 ft 11 in to 4 ft 11 in). The chimpanzee is covered in coarse black hair, but has a bare face, fingers, toes, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. Evidence from fossils and DNA sequencing shows that Pan is a sister taxon to the human lineage and is humans' closest living relative. The chimpanzee and the bonobo are the only species in genus Pan. It has four confirmed subspecies and a fifth proposed subspecies. It is also known simply as the chimp or the common chimpanzee, the latter particularly when its closely related relative the bonobo was more commonly known as the pygmy chimpanzee. The chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes) is a species of great ape native to the forest and savannah of tropical Africa.

Anthropopithecus troglodytes ( Sutton, 1883).

Another example of this can be found in the final episode of the first season of the fictional series Awkwafina is Nora from Queens. The concept of white monkey was covered in the documentary Dream Empire. While the concept is less viable in larger urban areas with more international exposure, the practice is common in smaller urban centers and rural areas, especially those trying to expand or attract real-estate attention by feigning an international presence. The 'white monkey' may be hired to act as an associate of an individual or pose as an authoritative figure to promote a brand or company, and businesses will occasionally hire these individuals to pose as a founder or executive. White monkey jobs are often related to marketing and advertising. The concept is considered a subset of a larger 'rent a foreigner' industry in China and parts of Asia. The jobs themselves, called 'white monkey jobs' or 'face jobs', often require little actual work on the part of the model, who in some cases is not expected to be fluent in Chinese. The phenomenon is based on the perception that association with foreigners, specifically white foreigners, can signify prestige, legitimacy, and international status. White monkey is a term used to refer to the phenomenon of white foreigners or immigrants in China being hired for modeling, advertising, English teaching, or promotional jobs on the basis of their race.
