The Bonobo monkey is neither violent nor vicious, which may have you wondering how it made it on this list of badass animals in the first place. But the bonobo wouldn’t be thinking about that — it’d be too busy getting busy.
The bonobo monkey is the second most sexual living animal, after humans. Researcher Franz de Wall dubbed them the “make love, not war” species, after noting that they resolve almost all of their conflicts through sexual activity.
Bonobo society is a gynecocracy, with groups of females responsible for maintaining the peace. The only pairings of bonobos who do not have sex are mothers and sons. Aside from that, bonobos are sex-positive, promiscuous, and appear to form no lasting monogamous bonds. They are also highly tactile animals, kissing and holding hands, with both males and females engaging in same-sex interactions.
Between 29,500 and 50,000 bonobos remain in the wild, only in the basin of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They are endangered, with commercial poachers posing their greatest threat.
