Bonobos have a reputation of being the hippies of the ape world, due to their propensity to “make love, not war.”

But a new study reveals that bonobos, found only in the Democratic Republic of Congo, may not be as peaceful as once thought.

#Elephant-Sized #Apes That Once Roamed the Land Mysteriously Vanished. Now, Scientists Have an Answer.
The sudden #extinction of giant apes is an "enigma in #paleontology," one scientist said, but new research proposes an answer to why they disappeared. Researchers have discovered that the #primates (Gigantopithecus blacki) went extinct between 295,000 and 215,000 years ago because they were unable to adapt their eating habits and behavior to a rapidly-changing #climate. https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjvmq7/elephant-sized-apes-that-once-roamed-the-land-mysteriously-vanished-now-scientists-have-an-answer

Great apes are on track to lose 94% of their range to climate change by 2050 if humans do nothing to address the problem, according to research.

In this episode of Mongabay Explores, experts speak with Mongabay about the threats to bonobos and mountain gorillas, the importance of great apes for the protection of Congo Basin rainforest, and ways forward for conservation.
