Young Bonobo
Uploaded: March 21, 2012
Biologically speaking, bonobos are the closest you can get to being human without being human. Bonobos look more like humans than other apes, and display many behavioral similarities as well. Bonobos and people share more than 98% of the same genetic make-up (DNA). Bonobos and their cousins the chimpanzees, are more closely related genetically to us than they are to gorillas!

Yes, they are Kathy. Perhaps that's why they are frequently used for research - at least they used to be - not so much now. This guy's a cutie for sure! Great expression and wonderful detail. I always wonder what they think of us... #10068187Phyllis H. Burchett April 05, 2012
