Descripción
Members of a species of hominid found only in lowland rainforests of the Congo river. They differ from the other extant species of the genus Pan, Pan troglodytes, in being more slender, with longer limbs, a narrower chest, a rounder head with a less-protruding face, descending from trees only to move between trees, and having different behaviors and dynamics in social groups. In older classifications, the bonobo and the common chimpanzee were classified as one species.
