Discover the role DNA plays in conservation work at the zoo…
Chimps each have individual features, just like we do, including skin colour, hair cover and facial shapes – they are our closest living relatives!
SPECIES I am a primate As our closest relatives, chimpanzees share about 98% of our DNA
Orangutans are amongst the most intelligent animals on the planet. At Chester Zoo we have both Bornean and Sumatran orangutans.
Orangutans are on of our closest living relatives on the planet, sharing 97% of our DNA
Following the opening of our new Himalayas habitat, we’re launching a new Climate and Sustainability Tour for Key Stage 3 groups.
