Pair 3 is incorrect
- Wild bonobos can only be found in forests south of the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Bonobos and chimpanzees look similar, and both share 98.7% of their DNA with humans—making these two ape species our closest living relatives. They are usually a bit smaller, leaner, and darker than chimpanzees. Their society is also different—bonobo groups tend to be more peaceful and are led by females.
