Congo river – See Animals Wild

March 12, 2021July 1, 2022

In modern day Africa Bonobos live south of the Congo river, and Chimpanzees live to the north – has that always been so?

Chimpanzees and bonobos look very similar to the untrained eye. Indeed, in the past it was not uncommon for them to be housed together, at least until the keeper saw the bonobo getting beaten over and over again.

Alongside our members area, we have a second area for you to get involved. This second one is aimed at all readers of the site (Ambassador supporters). If you are like me, you are worried about the state of the natural world, and love seeing wildlife but might not have time to do as much as you would like - but would like to do your bit to save as much of the natural world as you can. We can't visit every wilderness on the planet, yet it is a far smaller task for all the readers of this site - particularly as it grows. Alternatively, if you are simply a regular reader, and we bring you value, help us survive long-term. There is a small fee for being an Ambassador supporter, to help the running of the site, and towards our goals - along with many perks including a members area.
