Bonobo

The bonobo, or Pan paniscus, is a species of ape that was one of the last mammals to be discovered. In 1929, Ernst Schwarz was studying the skull of a bonobo that he had found in Belgium, and originally thought it was a baby chimpanzee. He later discovered it was an adult Pan paniscus and not a chimp at all.http://newswire.pro/bonobo_sex_and_society.htm

Bonobos live mostly along the Congo River and that's probably one of the reasons they were discovered long after other ape species.http://williamcalvin.com/teaching/bonobo.htmThe race is female-oriented. Female bonobos often pair up and establish power relationships, and the males remain attached to and dependent on their mothers as long as they are alive.http://www.primates.com/bonobos/bonobosexsoc.html

Sex is a defining characteristic of the bonobo species. They have much more sex in general than their other ape counterparts, and they mate with everyone. It is common for a bonobo to have intercourse with others outside of their family as well as inside it, and they do this regardless of gender.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5c0_1246592465

Sometimes bonobos will fight with each other, and studies have shown that the two that were fighting will have intercourse or kiss afterward to resolve the conflict.http://www.primates.com/bonobos/bonobosexsoc.html Bonobos also have sex as their way of greeting each other, and establishing lasting bonds between female and female as well as male and male.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5c0_1246592465In fact, sex plays the main part in bonobo social life.http://www.primates.com/bonobos/bonobosexsoc.html

Bobobos participate in other sexual activities outside of pure intercourse. They have been seen having oral sex, kissing with tongue, and rubbing their genitals together. Bonobos are the only mammals that engage in these activities other than humans.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5c0_1246592465
