  1. The Bonobo ape looks like a chimpanzees but are a bit smaller. They live in the heart of the jungle where they have no real competitors. They are peaceful cooperative creatures where the females are in charge. You're going to love the bonobo apes, friendship and sensitivity is more important to them than one-upmanship. And they are constantly at it.

  2. Good article, Tom. I used to wonder how we tamed the domestic cat, well we didn't, they tamed themselves. Years ago cats started hanging around barns to catch the mice and rats and this helped the farmer. Over time cats became more and more domesticated. I bet they they had no at the time, though, about neutering.
