Bonobo Activity Mating Behavior

Shows the behavior of an animal closely related to people. Shows infant and mother interaction. Also shows bonobo mating behavior face-to-face. He shows the grinning face that bonobos sometimes have during mating.

***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. Its DNA is 98% identical to that of humans and some researchers think they should be classified with the human species, i.e., Homo paniscus. Bonobos have relatively long legs, a matriarchal cultural, and are generally considered frugivorous. They often walk upright and have a human-like appearance. Frans de Waal, one of the leading primate researchers, has stated that the bonobo is capable of empathy, kindness, altruism, and compassion. E. Savage-Rumbaugh and Roger Lewin have extensively studied the ability of the bonobo to learn language. Kanzi has learned over 3000 spoken English words and around 400 lexigrams. He can understand simple grammatical sentences and possibly invent new vocal sounds. The bonobo is also an accomplished tool user.

Many consider the bonobo to be the most closely related of all animals to people. The bonobo has been presented as a stand-in for what human ancestors of only a few million years looked like. The bonobo is remarkably intelligent.

Sorry But Bonobos are most definitely not weird ! You should read up or watch some vid's and you'd see just how beautifully unique they re and that the planet is so very fortunate to have them.

Larry that's EXACTLY right. A river formed 1 million years ago (Congo) and separated the species. One became chimps the other bonobos. Chimps had to share land with gorillas, bonobos didn't and they became two distinct species.

Bonobos mate in every possible position you can think of AND in any combo possible: male, females, infants, adults. What you see here is a male (with the face) having sex and then two females rubbing genitals together (called "GG Rubbing"). They are incredible!

I just watched on TV this past week about those animals. they are the closest to humans.. because they walk a lot more than other apes and have sex similiar to humans, too. I thought that was indeed interesting.. They don't make wars, they have sex instead .. which the TV animal show said. smile..
