Bonobos are quite social and communicate using their voices.
Their diverse vocalizations convey important information, such as where food is located, or express a wide range of emotions, like alarm, anger, excitement, satisfaction and more.
NOTE: The bonobo habitat at the Columbus Zoo is undergoing renovation in 2023, and bonobos will not be viewable to the public until the re-opening in 2024. Their behind-the-scenes habitat provides them access to an outdoor area, indoor living spaces, and plenty of enrichment, keeping their health and well-being in mind.
