They are so beautiful and sweet and intelligent and gentle. I would love to work with them if I was younger. (70) thanks for taking care of these beautiful, wonderful babies

Oh wow, they are so beautiful! It's kind of incredible watching them run around and playing with each other because they literally act just like our human children. I just discovered this channel today and subscribed immediately. I'm looking forward to watching all of your videos and learning more about Bonobos. Is it true that they share even more of our DNA then all of the other Great Apes? Those smiles just melt my heart. Huge thank you to all of the wonderful people who work so hard to take care of and save this species from extinction. It's very important work that you all do & I'm so grateful to every single one of you!! 💕💕💕

We share 98.7% of our DNA with bonobos. Same as with chimpanzees! We both had a last common ancestor around 8 million years ago. Chimpanzees and bonobos had a last common ancestor around 4 million years ago.

Hi C’Arrive! You sound like me! Into all the shenanigans as a kid, but I made sure to do well in school. I can tell you love these precious orphans by the way you speak of them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing the work I wish I could do. You are loved! PS: And you are so beautiful! You look so much like your mom. I love your smile. Thank you again
