Video shows very rare vocalization of the Bonobo or Pygmy Chimpanzee. Few if any recordings of bonobo vocalizations exist. The bonobos are heard screaming and sound much like people. These bonobos answer people verbally. Bonobos also make a murmuring sound that is more difficult to record. They are highly intelligent and can read and write (using a computer). A bonobo, Kanzi, has a large vocabulary. Maybe they have a language that people don't understand.
Sharing more than 98% of its DNA with humans, the bonobo is our closest living relative.
Shows how bonobos understand language. For example when he askes them to show their toes, they do. Clap hands for attention. Answer people verbally. Matriarchal Society Female Rule
The bonobos recognize individual people. They may eat meat in the wild.
***The Bonobo, also called the Pygmy or Gracile Chimpanzee (Pan paniscus) belongs to the species (with the common chimpanzee) that is most closely related to humans. It is a highly endangered species.
Only around 140 bonobos are in captivity (2002), world wide, and only around 100 are exhibited. It is noted for its human-like appearance and for walking upright. Some researchers consider the bonobo to be the best living prototype of the common ancestor of humans. The Red Data Book, of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, lists the bonobo as endangered. They may soon be extinct in the wild..
