Our human species has several cousins--most know chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. But few seems to know about bonobos. They've been called "dwarf chimpanzees" but aren't actually chimps. They're a separate species. Unlike chimps, they're matriarchal in social organization and generally peaceable. They prefer to make love, not war. But they're endangered because of habitat loss and being hunted.

I drew this as part of a series of endangered species some years back and exhibited in an online show.
