A short introduction to our lovely relative Except you are planning to go on an expedition to the rainforest of the southern Congo, only in 19 zoos worldwide can you find the closest relative to the human race, the bonobo. But why can he be found only so rarely in the zoo? It might have to do with bonobos being a highly endangered species with only a few ten thousand living individuals left. But it could also be because parents would have a hard time explaining to their children what the heck is going on behind the metal fence. 12 - VOICES
