Common name: Bonobo
Scientific name: Pan paniscus
Adaptions:

Like to travel in large groups. Sometimes up to 100

Complex communication system. It may be a language
Good tool making skills in captivity to get termites out with a stick, crack nuts
with a stone
Make love instead of war to settle disputes

Habitat:
Democratic republic of Congo, between the Congo River and the Lomami river. the
Kasai and Sankuru Rivers, and Lac Ndombe region.
They are much like the chimpanzee, but are much more peaceful. They make love
to settle disputes, and this prevents a lot of violence. They are peaceful animals,
and actually live close to humans in the Congos. But they do not disturb the
residents. The Bonobos have been hunted and have been removed from the
ecosystem for about 10 years now.
