| Same-sex copulation and bonding are common in hundreds of species, from bonobo apes to gulls. |
|
| We'll start with lower ones, and then work up to our closest relatives, the chimpanzee and bonobo. |
|
| The apes are a category of primates represented in Africa by gorilla, chimpanzees and bonobo. |
|
| The egalitarian and peaceful bonobo society might have evolved as a result of reduced competition due to the abundance of food in their habitats. |
|
| Humankind's closest relative, the bonobo is found only in the Democratic Republic of Congo. |
|
| In addition, they are home to three of mankind's closest biological relatives: the bonobo, the chimpanzee and the gorilla. |
|
| Our closest relatives, the chimpanzee, the bonobo or pygmy chimpanzee, and the gorilla share with us a common ancestry of genes and genome organization. |
|
| For example, from a comparison of their DNA, the bonobo and the chimpanzee appear to have split one million years ago, and humans split from the line containing the bonobo and chimpanzee about six million years ago. |
|
| Animals in Love follows wildlife presenter Liz Bonnin as she meets bonobo chimps in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. |
|
| The bonobo, or pygmy chimpanzee, is found only in the heart of Africa's Congo basin. |
|
| A forest monitoring program, focusing on bonobo and other large mammal populations, is being implemented in the Lac Tumba sector, where local CREF staff has received ecological methods training. |
|
| However, the first orphan ape to arrive turned out to be a bonobo, and in the absence of other options at the time, the bonobo was accepted in the hope of that eventually a long-term solution would be found. |
|
| At present, the bonobo population in the park is estimated at 14800 animals but there are strong indications of a recent increase in poaching pressure. |
|
| Disease as a cause of death in gorilla and bonobo orphans has been reduced dramatically since moving the orphanage away from the city of Brazzaville and into more isolated areas. |
|
| The property remains the only protected area in DRC conserving the bonobo or pygmy chimpanzee, a great ape species endemic to DRC and genetically the closest relative to man. |
|
| The project activity will target specific areas of degraded and cleared forests to establish corridors that may promote habitat viability for previously isolated and fragmented bonobo populations. |
|
| The Congo's formation may have led to the allopatric speciation of the bonobo and the common chimpanzee from their most recent common ancestor. |
|
| Found only in the eastern Congo River basin, the bonobo is a relative of which animal? |
|
| The inventory work confirms that the park harbours important bonobo populations although localized in certain areas, especially the southern part of the southern sector and in the north-western part of the northern sector. |
|
| The bonobo is endemic to the humid forests in the region, as are other iconic species like the Allen's swamp monkey, dryas monkey, aquatic genet, okapi and Congo peafowl. |

|
| But you might think otherwise tonight after seeing the hardships one cameraman and his assistant endure in the Congo as they try to film a family of bonobo apes. |
|
| So it is little wonder that he chose Bonobo as his DJ tag, especially given the nature of the music he produces. |
|
| Bonobo females form strong bonds and wield more power over daily affairs than female chimps do. |
|
| Then I decided to nest Bonobo inside, and they got even clearer. |
|
| Mainly AUs which I think are suitable for Kickshaws but not for kids, except the first, a repeat of the Bonobo poem. |
|
| A photograph taken at Derwentwater is used as the album art for Black Sands by Bonobo. |
