[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Bonobo (Pan paniscus), until recently usually called the Pygmy Chimpanzee and less often the Dwarf or Gracile Chimpanzee, is one of the two species comprising the chimpanzee genus, Pan. The other species in genus Pan is Pan troglodytes, or the Common Chimpanzee. Both species are chimpanzees, though that term is now frequently used to refer only to the larger of the two species, Pan troglodytes. To avoid confusion, this article follows the growing trend to use "chimpanzee" to refer to both members of the genus.

The Bonobo was discovered in 1928, by American anatomist Harold Coolidge, represented by a skull in the Tervuren museum in Belgium that was thought to have belonged to a juvenile chimpanzee, though credit for the discovery went to the German Ernst Schwarz, who published the findings in 1929. The species is distinguished by an upright gait, a matriarchal and egalitarian culture, and the prominent role of sexual activity in their society.

Bonsoir Annick,
Un superbe portrait de cet animal presque humain (sauf dans les moeurs...). La netteté et le rendu de la peau sont exceptionnels. Le 70-200 est vraiment un zoom d'une qualité remarquable (quand il est dans de bonnes mains). Encore bravo et merci.

Hi Annick,
A funny catch :o) Wish I could see the face of the baby as well, but it's a great composition with a good timing and great focus. TFS

Hi Annick.
The aperture is powerful tool !!!
Brilliant shot. DOF, details and sharpness of the monkeys, play of lights and darks on them, blurriness of BG and its colour tones, captured scene, cropping and framing are perfect. BRAVO. TFS and best wishes.
Alexei.
