A Bonobo Gets Photographed | Photo Ark 

Not yet. :(

Yes, worked with Kanzi, Panbanisha, Matata, Tamuli, Psuke, and Neema when they were in Atlanta, Ga. Kanzi looks great. He is a very sweet guy.

@@lindamcgarrah8050 I met Kanzi several years ago when he lived in Atlanta. He made stone tools for me. His brilliance is palpable!

Nat Geo Wild I never met a tarantula so I meet one

Well, you could say that he has a language comprehension of a human 3 year old, but he's NOT a 3 year old. He's an adult. Of course he's going to behave better than children, as long as he has understanding and willingness.

Because they are relatives with humans, the most intelligent apes in the world

When you say primates you also realize that it includes humans? That’s what primates are capable of so, not so shocking considering I’m a primate reply to an other primate on the internet built by primates.

I have a question. How come some people considered Bonobos the fourth great ape when they are basically just another type of Chimpanzee? There are also different types of Gorillas and Orangutans, but they aren't divided into completely different ape species like how Common Chimpanzees and Bononos are. Here's the two species that fall under the "Pan" genus category: Common chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) Bonobos (Pan paniscus) Here's the two species that fall under the "Gorilla" genus category: Western gorillas (Gorilla gorilla) Eastern gorillas (Gorillia beringei) Here's the three species that fall under the "Pongo" genus category: Sumatran orangutans (Pongo abelii) Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) Tapanuli orangutans (Pongo tapanuliensis) So I think it's pretty stupid when Bonobos get treated as the fourth great ape since they are Chimps.

@@searain1573 those other species could have different names as well, they just don't. Bonobos have EXTREMELY different behaviour from chimps, that's why people treat them as so divergent.

Sad they are kept in this tiny prison like cell or in zoos

It picked up on nodding and shaking your head to mean yes and no as well.

His. He is a thinking, breathing being, not an it. I'm not reprimanding you, it's just one of those things in our language. We equate objects and beings and being "it". He is so much more than an object. He understands and feels and thinks.

@@papamurrth1 Good comment

We do not know what he/it really understands or not. It is a Bonobo in captivity for many years and of course it has adapted many human-like behaviour, because they watch and mimic human behaviour. That is part of their skills to learn what they see. And this ape underwent a lot of training by his caretakers I would assume.

Yay! Kanzi!!! He’s amazing!

He should be free. So sad caged in that terrable place having photoes taken. This isterrible abuse. Poor Kenzi

Really. He would be a real star if he was free in the jungle with his own family and not held in a cage having pictures taken and all sorts of abuse from those so called doctors. How horrific for poor kenzi.

@@harpermacenzi9483 actually seems as if he's incredibly happy and getting mental stimulation he may have never found in the wild

@@harpermacenzi9483 He actually has a family; his adoptive mother Matata who was the oldest Bonobo in captivity, there was his sister Panbanisha, and his son Teco. Because of his mom he's actually now the highest ranking male in the group. They also have constant access to 6 acres of outdoor space. Kanzi is brilliant and openly displays how content he is there.

It's hard to see them in a cage and not in the wild

Corona can right

@@evrettej which they'd likely die in due to habitat loss and poaching.

I think the same...

This thing will kill you when it feels jealous because you shared something with another human or chimp. Why do people think they can tame these wild animals.

His name means Treasure!

@@gailaconklin330 it’s Arabic origin meaning My Treasure 💝 .... (I didn’t know that till you replied.) totally is apropos

We couldn't agree more! They are truly incredible animals.

We're so glad you enjoyed the video. ❤️ What is your favorite part about bonobos?

@@NatGeoWild mating rituals

@@NatGeoWild their sheer brilliance :) We need to learn from them

@@NatGeoWild they are much chill than chimps

Yeah I saw that too

It really was sad seeing how he looked before, but it wasn't surprising when we saw all the things certain caregivers were feeding him: hamburgers, M&Ms, candy, jerky, all kinds of things apes shouldn't eat

We second this! ❤️

There are more video of him and his family from years past. Type in kanzi on a RU-vid search

Right! And hamburgers too? Onions? I wouldn't give an ape any processed foods....

omg no way, why?

@@classicsxu956 I saw a video of her describing how the people there made her leave, though I'm not sure why. That was unfortunate, because she knew him for decades.

I had no idea about it but I have just watched her interview on the Prem Proph channel and I agree with you. The ones who took over could have at least tried to reach a compromise with her. I've read about various sanctuaries and zoos that are affected by money and power struggles and it's not right that the animals end up paying the price.

Yeah I noticed he doesn't behave as well as he used to.

Fat? He was all muscle

@@stanlee2200 He was 75 pounds overweight because he was fed human junk food.

@@iconifyme oh hush junk mouth, you don't know what he ate or didn't ear. You just got a chip on your shoulder

Kanzi is still alive and healthy, at the age of 40. He and his family are living happily. Teco is actually is Nephew also.

Lol Chimps and Bonobos have big nuts because of all the mating they do. Thats what i heard. Gorilllas and Orangutans have smaller teaticles!!

Because, no others like you, demonstrate theme you knowledge of they speech !
