Bonobo

The bonobo is a large species of primate that is only found in the Democratic Republic Of The Congo in central Africa. The bonobo is also known as the pygmy chimpanzee and the dwarf chimpanzee as the bonobo is thought to be very closely related to the chimpanzee and the two animals share very similar features. The bonobo is smaller than the chimpanzee with adult bonobos averaging around 70cm in height and weight about 40kg, The bonobo has black hair covering it's body that is parted on it's head, pink lips and long legs. Generally, the body of the bonobo is not as hairy as the body of their chimp cousins. 
The bonobo is an omnivorous animal mainly feeding on vegetation such as fruits, leaves, flowers, bark and seeds. The bonobo also eats honey, eggs, insects and even small mammals and reptiles.
 Today, the bonobo is thought to be an endangered animal with only 10,000 bonobo individuals considered to be left in the wild. The bonobo populations have lowered significantly due to hunting and habitat loss.

Bongo

The Bongo is a large species of antelope that is found inhabiting the jungles and forests of Eastern, Western and Central Africa.They are the largest animals living in forests.The Bongo is a large and heavy-bodied antelope with a short chestnut colored coat that is darker on the bottom side and patterned with between 10-15 vertical white stripes that help the Bongo to remain camouflaged in the jungle. There are two types of Bongos, the Mountain Bongo\the Eastern Bongo and the Lowland Bongo\the Western Bongo.bongos are preyed by leopards, lions, hyenas and pythons.Bongos feed on leaves, roots, bark and grasses at night to keep them safer from the other predators that they share their habitats with. The Bongo has a tongue that is able to wrap itself and take hold of things which helps it to reach fresh leaves higher up and also helps it when pulling roots out of the ground. Both species of Bongo are threatened by both hunting and habitat loss with populations having declined significantly as although it still has a relatively wide distribution, populations are becoming more and more isolated.
