Which primate is endemic to the Democratic Republic of Congo?

Answer

The Bonobo is a species of primates of the family Hominidae, close to the Chimpanzee. Endemic to the Democratic Republic of Congo, the name "bonobo" derives from the distortion of the name of the town of Bolobo located on the banks of the Congo River where the first specimens were captured in the 1920s.
