| Wild chimpanzees and bonobos can be skilled at selecting tools for particular jobs. |
|
| About 7 million years ago, we last shared a common ancestor with the chimps and bonobos. |
|
| Could some birds really be as intelligent as primates such as chimpanzees or bonobos? |
|
| Orangutans and bonobos will be the first to go, then gorillas, and finally chimpanzees. |
|
| They are one of four kinds of great apes, along with chimpanzees, gorillas, and bonobos, and the only apes that come from Asia. |
|
| Poaching for bushmeat during the conflict by locals and armed militias had a serious impact on the bonobos. |
|
| While we save French kisses for our most intimate partners, for example, bonobos slip each other the tongue to signal friendship and bonding. |
|
| Thousands more gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos have been killed for bushmeat. |
|
| Chimps and bonobos appear to place value on maintaining good relations, renewing friendly contact after a fight. |
|
| The situation is most dire for primates such as bonobos, chimpanzees and gorillas. |
|
| His favorite species for this work are chimpanzees, bonobos, and capuchin monkeys. |
|
| The net effect is that hunting bonobos, chimpanzees, and gorillas has now become big business. |
|
| The legislation broadly bans the use of great apes such as chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orang-utans for scientific testing. |
|
| She tries by making regular trips to the meat market, and with the help of Congolese officials, she confiscates chained bonobos about to be sold alongside other exotic meats. |
|
| These animals include giraffes, penguins, macaques, bonobos, and geese. |
|
| Despite the growing threat of poaching, of the 12 sites recently surveyed by ZSM, eight have evidence of bonobos and seven have evidence of elephants. |
|
| Findings were confirmed by comparing similar regions of the Y chromosome in humans to the Y chromosomes of chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas. |
|
| In Africa they represent a particular threat to precious forest fauna, including chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas, by connecting forests to the fast-growing cities where bushmeat is prized. |
|
| Uganda suggested that as the range of gorillas coincided with the range of other primates and because of the link to the GRASP, the Agreement should also include chimpanzees and bonobos. |
|
| The proposed ban on using great apes such as chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orang-utans for scientific testing was broadly endorsed by both delegations during the negotiations. |
|
|
|
| Chimpanzees and bonobos were the last group to separate off from the genetic line that lead to the evolution of human and are therefore our closest relatives. |
|
| Chimpanzees, gorillas and bonobos are also threatened with extinction. |
|
| Their survival will depend on whether we manage to curb the habitat fragmentation, poaching and disease which threaten the remaining gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans. |
|
| Chimpanzees, along with bonobos, are our closest living relatives. |
|
| Sharing 98 per cent of their DNA with humans, bonobos are an endangered species, found only in the basin of the Democratic Republic of Congo. |
|
| Chimps and their sister species, bonobos, are humans' closest living relatives. |
|
| Gorillas are strongly patrifocal, Chimpanzees are matrifocal, and Bonobos seem to enjoy a sort of free-love, hippy-communal existence. |
|
| Bonobos and chimps, though genetically almost identical, have quite different social behaviours. |
|
| This poem was specially written for Friends of Bonobos and Vanessa Woods, who published it online in their newsletter, facebook and twitter sites. |
