Where do chimpanzees like to live?
Though many populations live in tropical rainforests, they can also be found in woodlands and grasslands spanning from central to western Africa. They usually sleep in trees—typically the sturdy Ugandan ironwood tree, which offers the most firm and stable place to sleep—and build themselves nests of leaves.
Do chimpanzees live in the desert?
Most chimpanzees can be found in primary tropical rainforest, with others living in secondary forests and open woodlands. Some populations range across desert-like, xeric conditions. ...

Why do chimpanzees live in forests?
Chimpanzees are only found on one continent in the world. They live in the dense jungle forest of Africa. Older forests tend to make the best habitats for them because more plant species have had time to grow and fill in the layers of the forest. This is important because chimpanzees rely on forests with many layers.
