Bonobo Chimpanzee
From Halopedia, the Halo Wiki
Bonobo Chimpanzee, a.k.a. Pan paniscus, one of the two members of the genus Pan. Discovered in 1928 by German anatomist Ernst Schwarz, the species features relatively long legs, a matriarchal society, and the prominent role of sexual activity in daily life. Mostly frugivorous (subsisting mainly on fruit), however it can also be seen eating leaves, invertebrates, and small vertebrates. Genetic studies have shown that their DNA is more than 98% identical to that of Homo sapiens, humans. A Bonobo is also more bipedal than regular chimpanzees tending to stand upright more.
By at least 2525, Bonobos were used in medical experiments. They were very rare, as they were not bred in captivity. [1]
[edit] Trivia
- There is a typo in Halo: The Fall of Reach, where the Bonobo Chimpanzee is spelled as Binobo Chimpanzee[verification needed].
