Bonobos are an endangered species of great apes. They have two behavioural characteristics that make them stand out: one, they are known for having lots of sex, and frequently. In other words, they are the [[Chad]]s of the animal kingdom. They have higher male [[reproductive skew]] than chimpanzees, which is theorized to be due to them being societally cohesive.
