Play is very important for a variety of species of animals including both humans and bonobos. Play behavior helps build a variety of skills for these animals. Also called the pygmy chimp, the bonobo is slightly smaller than the common chimpanzee. Sharing more than 98% of its DNA with humans, the bonobo is our closest living relative. Like humans, bonobos live in family groups and are highly intelligent. | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

Unlike bonobos or gorillas who live in large family groups and benefit from social learning their entire lives, orangutans lead primarily solitary adult lives. In nature, they must figure out new challenges on their own. As such, they possess keen curiosity and problem-solving skills. Henry has laser focus on using a tool to retrieve some treats. | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
