ASBonobos!! Our closest living relatives. In fact, when a bonobo sees me, she sees a closer cousin than if she saw a gorilla!
Endangered.
And when different parties meet in the rainforest, they love it. They cooperate, share fruit (a valuable resource), groom each other (bonding!), and play games like hide and seek. (Um, chimpanzees are aggressive, especially towards females, hurt and kill each other.)
Bonobos are one of a kind and so much fun, amongst other things.
This tiny, remote research camp did something super hard and welcomed an intrepid documentary crew to capture simply never before accessible images of these remarkable apes.
Discover bonobos and why I am committed to living in the second lung of the planet part of the year with them! Check out @natgeotv’s Queens, a limited series narrated by the amazing @im.angelabassett. 👑
Now streaming on @DisneyPlus and @Hulu.
