The West African Jungle is the native home to the chimpanzees, located across Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. The jungle housed other animals such as birds, leopards, crocodiles, snakes and others, but was primarily dominated by chimps.

History[]

The jungle was home to chimpanzees Alpha and Bright Eyes, along with other members of their troop. This was where Caesar was conceived. One day, while the chimps were foraging for food, Alpha noticed the birds were flying away and to their surprise, a group of poachers ambushed the troop to capture them and sell them on the black market or as bushmeat.

The poachers attacked the troop using snare nets and cages. Bright Eyes and many other chimpanzees were captured by the poachers. Alpha was shot while trying to rescue his mate. The fate of the rest of the chimpanzees is unknown, although some avoided capture. Bright Eyes was shipped off to Gen-Sys Laboratories in San Francisco where she became a test subject for a gene therapy called ALZ-112. She died shortly after the ALZ-112 testing and giving birth to Caesar, who inherited the ALZ-112 from her and Alpha's white birthmark over his chest. The design of the walls of the infirmary and exercise enclosure at the San Bruno Primate Shelter was quite similar to the jungle, so the apes might feel free and in their natural habitat.

  • The Democratic Republic of Congo is the Central African nation which is the native home to some sub-species of Common Chimpanzee, Eastern Lowland Gorillas, Western Lowland Gorillas, Mountain Gorillas and Bonobos. The antecedents of Koba must have come from here, though he himself was born in captivity. This was also the home of mercenary and hunter Malakai Youmans, where the Simian Flu Pandemic caused an outbreak of ethnic and tribal warfare.
