/bəˈnoʊˌboʊ/,

/ˈbɑnəˌboʊ/

Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Bonobo.

Etymology: < German Bonobo (H. Heck 1939), of uncertain origin.It is often suggested that the name was taken from a shipping crate containing a specimen sent to Belgium in the 1920s, which is said to have been inscribed with the name of Bolobo (a port on the Congo river), with a letter obscured at the time of arrival. However, this cannot be substantiated, and the origin of the suggestion is difficult to trace. E. Tratz & H. Heck (in Säugetierkundliche Mitteilungen (1954) 2, probably the work summarized in quot. 1955) explicitly state that the name was taken from a local language, but no likely etymon has been traced in the languages of the region.

A slender, dark-haired great ape, Pan paniscus, found in the lowland rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.Originally thought to be a variety of the chimpanzee, P. troglodytes, the bonobo has also been called the pygmy chimpanzee.
