Bonobos With Their Prey

Caption

A group of bonobos are seen up high in a tree with a captured Weyn's duiker in the Congo's Lomako Forest. Anthropologists from the University of Oregon and Northern Kentucky University documented control of duiker carcasses by female bonobos, who dictated how the meat was shared.
