2bonobos are often mistaken for chimpanzees. in fact, scientists didn’t even know bonobos existed until the early twentieth century, and they didn’t study bonobos in the wild until the 1970s. this is because bonobos are very hard to find. they only exist naturally in the area of africa known as the congo basin. fewer than 150 bonobos live in zoos around the world. about half of these animals live in zoos across america. 5 bonobos live in communities of 25 to 100 apes. each community breaks into smaller groups. these groups then travel during the day to look for food. unlike in chimpanzee groups, female bonobos rule the roost. bonobo societies are known to be peaceful. this is partly because they eat so many types of food that they don't have to compete with other animals for their meals. bonobos mostly eat fruit, but they also eat nuts, bark, twigs, leaves, flowers, roots, and stems. sometimes bonobos eat caterpillars or worms. their high-protein diet prevents them from having to eat meat unless it’s necessary. how does the main idea of paragraph 2 differ from the main idea of paragraph 5? a) paragraph 2 describes the bonobo's appearance, whereas paragraph 5 describes the bonobo's diet. b) paragraph 2 describes the bonobo's captivity, whereas paragraph 5 describes the bonobo's habits. c) paragraph 2 describes characteristics of bonobos, whereas paragraph 5 describes the bonobo's habitat. d) paragraph 2 describes background information about bonobos, whereas paragraph 5 describes bonobo communities.
