	Bonobo Society
		Bonobos lubricate the gears of social harmony with sex, in all possible permutations and combinations: males with females, males with males, females with females, and even infants with adults.
		Bonobo lips are reddish in a fl face, the ears small and the nostrils almost as wide as a gorilla's.
		Bonobos are, however, more controlled in expressing their emotions-- whether it be joy, sorrow, excitement or anger--than are the extroverted chimpanzees.

	Bonobo - Pan paniscus: More Information - ARKive
		Bonobos spend virtually all of their time in the trees, foraging for fruit and sleeping in nests constructed in the branches; on the ground they travel by 'knuckle walking' (2).
		Bonobos are not as widespread as their chimpanzee cousins and are threatened by loss of habitat as large areas of rainforest are being cleared to make way for agriculture, for timber extraction and for development (1).
		The main problem in terms of bonobo conservation is that they are only found in a single protected area (Salonga National Park), and even there they are intensively hunted both for their meat as well as for the making of charms (3).

	Evolution: Library: Chimps And Bonobos
		Although they are close relatives, chimps and bonobos have strikingly different social dynamics: chimps society is prone to violence, and bonobos are relatively peaceful.
		In contrast, bonobo society is marked by the strong bonds that develop between unrelated females and by almost constant sexual activity amongst all members of a group.
		Their constant sexual activity obscures paternity, removing the incentive for infanticide, and the pervasive bonding of female bonobos, who form coalitions for mutual support and protection, removes the opportunity.

	bonobo. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Bonobos share many behavioral traits with common chimpanzees; e.g., they tend to associate in groups, are day-active, build sleeping nests in trees, and eat mostly fruit and other vegetable matter.
		Bonobos are less aggressive than common chimpanzees, and there are fewer conflicts between neighboring bonobo communities.
		Both bonobos and common chimpanzees have been able to learn the meanings of many human words (although they cannot vocalize them), and they can be trained to communicate with humans by using sign language or symbol boards.

	What is a bonobo?
		Bonobos have longer limbs (relative to trunk length) and their build is generally more slender and graceful than chimpanzees.
		The lanky body structure of the bonobo is thought to be an adaptation for climbing and living an arboreal (living in the trees) lifestyle in the rain-forest.
		The increase in poaching of bonobos, and of all wildlife in the region, for food is attributed to nationwide food shortages and an influx of weapons and refugees from regional conflicts.

	Animal Info - Bonobo
		Bonobos sleep in trees and do most of their feeding in trees, although they also forage on the forest floor.
		The bonobo has a fl face (the chimpanzee’s face is variable from pink to brown or fl), a prominent white tail tuft which is retained by adults (chimpanzees only have one at the juvenile stage), and a slimmer body and relatively longer legs.
		The bonobo begins feeding in a tree, frequently in the dense upper forest canopy, shortly after waking, rests, moves leisurely on the ground to the next food tree, becomes less active toward the middle of the day, and then repeats the pattern in the afternoon.

	African Wildlife Foundation: Wildlives
		Their legends tell of a bonobo saving a man's life, how the bonobos showed man what food was available in the forest and how bonobos have tried to become human.
		Although the areas where bonobos are traditionally found generally have a very low human population, people are attracted to the bonobos’ forested homes for employment as well as for asylum during the recent conflicts that have ravished the DRC.
		Bonobos are highly vulnerable to increasing hunting and habitat loss because they have a low birth rate and a fragmented population.

	:: Bonobo Conservation Initiative :: What Is A Bonobo?
		Bonobos were not discovered by scientists until 1933, and even then, not alive, but in the Tervuren Museum in Belgium, identified by means of a skull.
		Bonobos are found in only one country: the Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaire), a resource-rich region ravaged by years of war.
		Bonobos live in groups of up to 100, breaking up into foraging groups by day and gathering to nest at night, in a fission-fusion modality.

	Bonobo; The Forgotten Ape (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The bonobo, least known of the great apes, is a female-centered, egalitarian species that has been dubbed the "make-love-not-war" primate by specialists.
		The bonobo's relatively nonviolent behavior and the tendency for females to dominate males confront the evolutionary models derived from observing the chimpanzee's male power politics, cooperative hunting, and intergroup warfare.
		And sex among bonobos is reminiscent of the Kamasutra.

	Bonobos: WhoZoo
		Bonobos come from a small area of Zaire that is also the home of the Pygmy tribes, hence their name "Pygmy Chimpanzees." Nearly 80% of Zaire is covered by forest, and this forest that the bonobos call home is surpassed in surface area only by the jungles of the Amazon.
		Bonobos show considerable tool-using skill in captivity, including the extraction of honey with sticks from artificial termite mounds, but in their natural habitat they have thus far never been seen to probe for insects, sponge water, or crack nuts with stones.
		The Bonobos are put into separate cages at night to cut down on the fighting.They interact with the Chimps at night because their cages are across the hall.

	Bonobo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bonobo was discovered in 1928, by American anatomist Harold Coolidge, represented by a skull in the Tervuren museum in Belgium that was thought to have belonged to a juvenile chimpanzee, though credit for the discovery went to the German Ernst Schwarz, who published the findings in 1929.
		Bonobos are the only non-human apes to have been observed engaging in all of the following sexual activities: face-to-face genital sex (most frequently female-female, then male-female and male-male), tongue kissing, and oral sex.
		Bonobos are active from dawn to dusk and live in a fission-fusion pattern: a tribe of about a hundred will split into small groups during the day while looking for food, and then come back together to sleep.

	The Bonobo Page (Prof. W. H. Calvin)
		Bonobos live in the wild in only one section of the Congo River basin, right on the equator at 22 degrees East, of the Democratic Republic of Congo (ex-Zaire).
		Bonobos have no national park, nothing to protect them from human hunting and encroachment except for the tropical diseases which limit human habitation in the area.
		If you haven't seen the bonobo exhibit at the main zoo for a while, you have a treat in store, as they have constructed a magnificent exhibit with four viewing perspectives.

	Congo's disappearing ‘hippie chimps’ - World Environment - MSNBC.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Bonobo spats are swiftly settled — often with a French kiss and a quick round of sex.
		But the peace-loving bonobos are increasingly difficult to sight, and not just because they’re good at hiding, suspended from the high branches of trees or swiftly traversing the lattice of thick, muddy roots strewn over the forest floor.
		The bonobo is the subject of age-old songs and legends, and conservationists hope to turn some of those traditions to their advantage.

	A Comparison of Some Similar Chimpanzee and Human Behaviors
		Bonobo sex life is divorced from reproduction and also serves the functions of pleasure and conflict resolution.
		Bonobo culture is female-centered, egalitarian and substitutes sex for aggression.
		This similarity to Bonobo use of sex can be seen in the custom of adversaries shaking hands after conflict, or close friends kissing and making up after a fight.

	Bonobo: Dial M for Monkey - PopMatters Music Review
		Urbane beat connoisseurs everywhere are going to throw this disc on in the background, then suddenly realize that all the ice has melted in the cocktail shaker because they've been standing there mesmerized for the last 20 minutes.
		Jazzier, cooler or more organic than most of what passes for downtempo and chillout these days, Bonobo's debut on Ninja Tune, his first "major" label, is a subliminally seductive collection of atmospheric instrumentals blending the best of '60s mod soundtracks, globetrotting exotica, and trip-hoppy mood music.
		It's telling that for his upcoming tour with a live band, the multi-talented Green has decided to put himself on bass; where a lot of auteur artists would have grabbed the spotlight with flashier soloist instruments (are you listening, Moby?), Green would rather be hanging out in the lower reaches of mix, anchoring things down.

		As a keeper/trainer for the Milwaukee County Zoo, she works daily with the largest group of bonobos (5 males and 4 females, ranging in age from 3 to 48 years) in North America, making it the second largest collection in the world (the largest can be found at the Dierenpark Planckendael, in Mechelen, Belgium).
		The three bonobos used in the study, incidentally, were so terrified by Allied bombardment of the city during the war, they died of heart failure.
		Because researchers believe the bonobo may never have left its ancestral rain forest, they reason that it may have changed less during its evolution than the chimpanzee, which is thought to have physically adapted as its environment changed.

		Whilst Simon is an esteemed recording artist and gifted bass guitarist with his brilliant Bonobo live band, it’s his DJing that provides the beat research, instant buzz and down and dirty rump shaking that he loves.
		The next track is another exclusive and consists of a self-made, self-referring Bonobo bootleg mashing together his ‘Change Down’ with ‘The Sugar Rhyme’ — prize to the person who can tell us which bit is from where.
		Bonobo has delivered us a stunning mix simply infused with sunshine that is guaranteed to inspire a break out of barbeques on the Brighton pebbles (taking home all our litter, naturally).

		Bonobos may look like chimps, but they are actually even closer to us--far more upright, physically, for a start.
		Any tension within a bonobo group is normally resolved by a quick orgy, in which they all have sex with one another, in all positions and combinations.
		But bonobos are, as is made very clear in this book, very different from chimpanzees, especially in their family and social structures and, to be most frank about it, their sexual habits.

	Healthy Living NYC Restaurant: Bonobo's - New York City, Gramercy
		While our close relationship to Bonobos inspires intense curiosity in the scientific community for many reasons, they are best known for their energetic sexual behavior and matriarchal, egalitarian society.
		Bonobo’s Vegetarian Restaurant, overlooking Madison Square Park, is bringing the jungle to Manhattan with a colorful spread of organic raw and live foods.
		Commenting on the sexual behavior of the Bonobos, the Bonobo Conservation Initiative quipped, “Bonobos seem to ascribe to the 1960’s hippie credo, ‘make love, not war.’” If you cannot understand the fascination with nut pates and sprouted seeds, you may consider looking more closely at the love lives of our hairy friends.
