Play is very important for a variety of species of animals including both humans and bonobos. Play behavior helps build a variety of skills for these animals. Also called the pygmy chimp, the bonobo is slightly smaller than the common chimpanzee. Sharing more than 98% of its DNA with humans, the bonobo is our closest living relative. Like humans, bonobos live in family groups and are highly intelligent. | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

Bonobos are often called the Peter Pan Ape, known for holding onto their playful ways well into adulthood. #Bonobos #GreatApes #Conservation #WorldWildlifeDay | Friends of Bonobos

Bonobos love to hold hands, cuddle, and groom each other as a way to stay connected. 🥰 Bonding through physical affection helps keep their troops strong and is essential to the relationship between a bonobo mother and their baby, who stays by their side for up to 5 years! 🎥: Vanessa Woods #Kindness #Love #Bonobos #Wildlife #Animals #Cute | Friends of Bonobos
