Young bonobo


Bonobos are members of the chimpanzee family.  They are found in central Africa's Congo Basin in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.  The females give birth on average every five years and nurse/carry their young for four years.

Wikipedia will be happy to provide more information on the bonobo.
