The Bonobo is one of our closest relatives. Sadly, they are on the fast track to extinction. Bonobos are not Chimpanzees, rather they are an entirely different species of great ape. Not to mention, they are by far one of the gentlest and least understood of any great ape. This is a must listen to podcast.  Please considering supporting us at Patreon HERE.

We are fortunate to be joined by the Director of Research Emily from the Prusten Project. Their mission is from analyzing the social vocal communications of tigers, The Prusten Project seeks to define what makes an individual tiger's call unique in hopes of developing non-invasive acoustic monitoring. Such a project would be implemented through microphone arrays placed strategically over the tiger’s home ranges to be used as a tool for conservation censusing and anti-poaching efforts.
