What type of creature is a Bonobo?

A bonobo is a type of ape. It is one of the two species belonging to the genus Pan, along with the chimpanzee. Bonobos are considered great apes, similar to gorillas and orangutans, and share many physical and behavioral characteristics with other apes. They have long arms, live primarily in trees, and have complex social structures. While they may resemble monkeys, bonobos are scientifically classified as apes due to their genetic and evolutionary characteristics.
