Bonobos Clash Over Ice During The Heatwave

The bonobos got some ice as the weather is heating and they are loving it. Especially the young one as he can't get enough. The ice has some juice and almond shavings in it. They love it that much so that later a clash breaks out. The male of the group isn't very happy that all the females get first choice. Unlike chimpanzees, it's the females that dominate in a bonobo group. The male starts to swing the hose vigorously and even starts to kick the another bonobo.
Many people think they are Chimpanzees, but although they are very similar and both are closely related to humans, the bonobo is a lot slender in appearance. With the Chimpanzees the males are the dominant, but the bonobo the females. Unfortunately like a lot of other animals they are threatened by habitat loss and human population growth. Twycross zoo is helping the bonobos getting back to the wild by supporting the Conservation Welfare fund with the daily running of the sanctuary Lola ya Bonobo. The sanctuary released 13 more bonobos to the wild from what I heard last.
