Hippiechimps

Here is a recent article on the fast-disappearing bonobo, known as the "hippie chimp" from the tendency to make love, not war (they resolve squabbles through sex rather than violence).

However, their meat appears to be tasty to the Congolese, so they are disappearing rapidly. It is estimated that there are as few of 5000 of them left, about 2000 of whom are currently enrolled at UC Berkeley.

There are some amusing tidbits in the article (take a look at the quote at the end), and this may perhaps explain some of the odd graphics in the old arcade game Congo Bongo (which was basically a cheap, vastly inferior imitation of Donkey Kong).

By the way, I hope somebody catches the reference in the title, because I'm very proud of it.
