In which country is the Bonobo endemic to?

The bonobo is an endangered great ape and one of the two species making up the genus 'Pan' (the other being the common chimpanzee, 'Pan troglodytes') Bonobos are distinguished from common apes by relatively long limbs, pinker lips, a darker face, a tail-tuft through adulthood and parted, longer hair on its head. Some individuals have sparser, thin hair over parts of their bodies.

It is found in a 500,000 km2 (190,000 sq mi) area within the Congo Basin of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central Africa. The species is predominantly fruit eating, compared to the often highly -omnivorous diets and hunting of small monkeys, duiker and other antelope exhibited by common chimpanzees. The bonobo inhabits primary and secondary forest, including seasonally inundated swamp forest. Because of political instability in the region, and the general timidity of bonobos, there has been relatively little field work done observing the species in its natural habitat.

Along with the common chimpanzee, the bonobo is the closest extant relative to humans. As the two species are not proficient swimmers, the natural formation of the Congo River possibly led to the isolation and speciation of the bonobo. Bonobos live south of the river, and thereby were separated from the ancestors of the common chimpanzee, which live north of the river. The estimate figures regarding population is between 29,500 and 50,000 individuals.
