A number of observations of hunting and meat sharing in chimpanzees across different populations in Africa have been reported. In contrast, hunting is generally rare in bonobos (bilias). In Wamba, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, bonobos have been studied since 1973; however, only five cases of successful hunting have been reported, all of which involved a scaly-tailed squirrel as prey. Among these, two involved meat sharing. On the other hand, fruit sharing is fairly common among Wamba bonobos, and Kuroda argued that the sharing of highly preferred fruits among bonobos appears to resemble the meat sharing among chimpanzees.
