Wild bonobos can only be found in forests south of the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Sometimes known as the pygmy chimpanzee, bonobos weren't recognized as a separate species until 1929. Bonobos have longer legs, shorter arms, and a narrower trunk. They are also generally smaller, with a rounder skull and a flatter face. Other distinguishing features are a black face with red lips, and a prominent tail tuft which is retained by adults (chimpanzees only have the tuft in the juvenile stage). After these activities, you drive back to the hotel for dinner.
