🐒Bonobo

Pan paniscus Schwarz, 1929

倭黑猩猩（學名：Pan paniscus，英語：Bonobo），又名倭猩猩、僰猿、矮黑猩猩或巴諾布猿等，是一種人科黑猩猩屬動物。其近親是黑猩猩（學名：Pan troglodytes）。化石和基因檢測表明這兩個物種是現代人類的姐妹群。倭黑猩猩的特徵是相對長的腿、粉紅色的嘴唇、黑色的臉和形成中分的長毛。它們的野生棲息地大約在剛果盆地內屬剛果民主共和國轄境之面積約500,000平方公里的區域。該物種是雜食性的，尤其偏好採食果實，輔食樹葉，有時則食用小型脊椎動物（諸如鼯鼠或麂羚的幼兒）以及無脊椎動物，並主要生活於森林中。倭黑猩猩和黑猩猩都不擅長游泳，大約 150 萬到 200 萬年前剛果河的形成可能促成物種形成，導致兩者分離。倭黑猩猩生活在河的南邊，因此與出現在北側的黑猩猩的祖先分離。目前尚無關於數量的具體資訊，但估計還剩下 29,500 到 50,000 個倭黑猩猩。該物種在國際自然保護聯盟的瀕危物種名單上。它們受到棲息地破壞和人口增加的威脅，但主要是盜獵。在圈養環境中，它們的壽命約為 40 年。它們在野外的預期壽命未知，但可能要短得多。該物種的獨特之處在於較長的雙腿、分區的毛髮、「母系社會」文化、以及性行為在其社會中的獨特意義。

Sex averages, not a range: value is the midpoint of male (1.19 m) and female (1.11 m) averages. Source says 'height' without stating posture; for an ape this conventionally means upright standing height.
