Peace-Loving Primates

Today is World Bonobo Day. They aren’t as well-known as gorillas, chimps, and orangutans, but they are also great apes. They are matriarchal, meaning females are in charge of the troop. Bonobos are extremely smart, playful, and generous. They self-medicate by finding healing plants, laugh when tickled, and share their food, even with strangers!
