Do You Know Bonobo?

For some unknown reason this wonderful primate jumped into my mind this afternoon. If you ask someone to name some members of the ape family you will rarely ever hear "Bonobo." People may say gorilla or chimpanzee; some may even know that gibbons are apes, but few are aware of the "pygmy chimp" known as the bonobo.

Who cares? These are wonderfully intelligent, peace loving, love making, social animals that could teach their cousins the egocentric Homo sapiens much of life and love.

Some say they are our closest relative. We eat them! They are in trouble...

Read more of them at some of these sites:
