Behavior

Our friends, the Bonobo's, are known to possess a Jekyll & Hyde (Split Personality) type of behavior. Bonobo's personality is soft one minute, then vicious the next minute if push comes to shove and are capable of biting off an ear, or rip some fur out. Bonobos are also sensitive, compassionate, empathetic, and can be very kind when they want to be, and that also comes along with lot's of patience.

Since Bonobo's are compassionate and can exhibit qualities of hairstylists by grooming and combing out dirt, burs, insects, and leaves to show respect and passion to other group mates and all depending on what rank level it is in. Grooming also releases tension in these apes, since they are a very sociable species who seem to need physical contact, and grooming satisfies their needs. It also strengthens relationships between their fellow mates.

Bonobo's can be very handy. (Literally!) They can pick up a stick and dip it in honey, then shove it close to a tree that attracts ants or any delectable insect. Then, they use the stick as a straw and the ants march into their traps to the end of their journey. This truly shows how intelligent, crafty, and creative they are.
