Bonobo
(Pan paniscus)

 

 Bonobos were identified as a distinct species from chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in 1933. Bonobos have also been referred to as gracile or pygmy chimpanzees, but these terms are less commonly used today. The name bonobo is probably derived from a misspelling of a village in the Congo called Bolobo.
