Bonobos The bonobo (Pan paniscus) is a great ape most closely related to the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). The two species are geographically separated by the Congo-Lualaba River in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).The bonobo was originally called the pygmy chimpanzee, but the term bonobo is used more widely today.Bonobos live primarily in the rain forests of central DRC. These forests are also home to a diversity of other species, including the forest elephant, many antelope and primate species, and the endemic Congo peafowl.he two species are geographically separated by the Congo-Lualaba River in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Chimpanzees Living in Zoos The oldest chimpanzee in an American Zoo is a female, Little Mama, who lives in Lion Country Safari, West Palm Beach, Florida. Estimated to be born in 1938, she is thought to be nearly seventy years old. Chimpanzees that make up the current zoo population are living longer than their predecessors. The current mean age of zoo chimpanzees is in the mid twenties. This low figure is due to a very high infant mortality rate.

Bonobo Along with the common chimpanzee, the bonobo is the closest extant relative to humans. Because the two species are not proficient swimmers, the formation of the Congo River 1.5–2 million years ago possibly led to the speciation of the bonobo.hen adult bonobos and chimpanzees stand up on their legs, they can both attain a height of 115 cm (45 in).
