Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bonobos are in the same genus as the chimpanzee, and are sometimes referred to as the "pygmy chimpanzee." They are distinct from chimpanzees behaviorally and have been the subject of extensive research, but not as thoroughly studied as the common chimpanzees. Bonobos and chimpanzees are both primarily terrestrial, not arboreal.
