—-THE AMAZING BONOBO—-
The bonobo (above) is absolutely the most amazing non-human animal alive today, and I am obsessed with disseminating my new bonobo fandom. If you take the time to watch this awesome video on the bonobo, you are guaranteed AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER RIDE AND AN EXPLOSION OF INTELLECTUAL PROVOCATION. Some quick stats:
$$ Not featured in most zoos due to a human-like sexuality which ‘permeates their entired lives. A google search yields mostly pictures of them in the missionary position.
$$ Can passively learn a vocabulary of 500 words
$ Often walk upright
$$$ Make stone tools
$$$$$ Can learn primitive written language systems
