There is a significant overlap in size between the Bonobo, P. paniscus, and the Chimpanzee, P. troglodytes. The weight of the Bonobo is also similar to that of the Chimpanzee: female Bonobos weigh an average of 33 kg and males 45 kg.5, 6 The Bonobo differs from the Chimpanzee in body proportions; Bonobos are more gracile in build, with a smaller, rounder skull, and a flatter face with less-prominent brow ridges . . .
