| Authors: | Randall L Susman Noel L Badrian Alison J Badrian |
| Abstract: | The locomotor behavior of Pan paniscus was studied over a four-week period in Equateur, Republic of Zaire. Bonobos were found to be both arboreal and terrestrial in their daily activities. In the trees adult bonobos are basically quadrupedal, but they also have significant components of armswinging, diving, leaping, and bipedalism in their locomotor repertoire. |
