World Bonobo Day

It is no coincidence that World Bonobo Day falls on the day of love. Bonobos are a matriarchal society with a much more relaxed family dynamic than the other three great ape species. Group conflicts are usually resolved through non-aggressive behavior, probably due to female dominance. Males are in lower positions than all the females in the troop and work together as a family rather than one dominant male. Known as hippie apes, they tend to "make love, not war".
