Omg the lazy bonobo makes me laugh! I know people like that!

[@steveamis2979]

Nice video. The red colouring could be a recessive gene?

[@FootBallDad67]

I am curious to know if the redish tint could be due to diet difference or is actually a genetic difference from all black bonobos? Is it present all year long ?

[@MattStritch]

I think genetic as it was a whole family in the community that had the colour. They stuck with the community and ate the same foods. It was present year round.

Little people of the jungle

They do remind me of people sometimes. I'll be doing another video on bonobos in the coming weeks so keep an eye out for it

Almost as cute as orangutans, but not quite.
