They defuse tensions through non-reproductive sex. Plus, they have plenty of food resources, which cuts way down on competition.

Are bonobos endangered species?
Yes.
Can a bonobos walk on two legs?
In camp while on the ground, bonobos are quadrupeds about 85% or the time and bipeds 15%. Travelling distances, bonobos normally march bipedally single file. Bonobos have longer legs than chimpanzees but shorter legs than most people so are adapted to move both bi- and quadralpediality.
