Bonobos are found in only one country: the Democratic Republic of Congo. They inhabit the heart of the Congo Basin, the second largest rain forest on earth. The bonobo habitat is bordered by the mighty Congo River to the north and west, the Kasai River to the south, and the Lualaba River to the east. This region is also home to a vast array of other wildlife species including leopard, forest elephant, sitatunga, bongo, okapi, forest buffalo, congo peacock, and a variety of primates.
