Bonobos opt to share their food

[Calypso 464]

One of our closest primate relatives, the bonobo, has been shown to voluntarily share food, scientists report.

The research is published in the journal Current Biology.

Is there such a thing as "most sexually promiscuous" when it comes to animals? They all seem to be promiscuous, especially primates. I used to watch "Lemur Street."
