Beautiful Bonobo Apes

[bonoboaday]

Welcome to @bonoboaday,  a blog dedicated to the rare, beautiful and infinitely precious bonobo ape! <3

What this blog is for: Raising awareness of these wonderful apes and helping to promote their conservation. My passion is primates of all kinds, and I started this blog because there was initially very little content on Tumblr about bonobos, so I wanted to raise the profile of these apes among fellow primate lovers! 

What this blog is not for: The musician Bonobo or the Bonobos clothing store. I’ve got nothing against either of those, but I’m all about the apes!

For more information about bonobos and how you can help to keep them safe, please visit this website:  https://www.bonobos.org/

I never get tired of learning about bonobos. They are such interesting animals and so unique, even amongst primates. Can you look at this picture and tell me you haven’t seen human mothers/fathers do this a million times with their children? I think I can extract that exact feeling that young bonobo has and it feels like a lot of fun.

Bonobo’s genetic code laid bare

Scientists have decoded the bonobo genome, the biochemical instructions in the ape’s cells that guide the building and maintenance of the animal’s body. It is the last great ape to have its DNA sequence laid bare, following the chimpanzee, orang-utan and gorilla.
