Peaceful Wild Bonobos!【Remake】

Unfortunately, "Peaceful Wild Bonobos!" is considered to R-18 video by the office of YouTube, so I remade it for you all to see such video.

Bonobos (Pan paniscus) and Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) are the closest living relatives of humans.

Compared to chimpanzees, bonobo's society is considered to be peaceful. They have never been observed to kill each other, both within-group and between-groups. Moreover, bonobos of different groups often interact with each other amicably (Furuichi 2011).

On a day in August last year, I was following bonobos of E1 group, which was the largest group among four identified groups in Wamba. Then, E1 group encountered PE and PW groups and females of three groups gathered on a huge fallen tree. There were more than 50 individuals around the fallen tree!
Females interacted socially (and sexually) each other for about an hour, but adult males could not approach to the gathering of females (only an adolescent male could join the gathering).

It seems that such a tolerant and amicable female relationship is the key to a peaceful society in bonobos.
