Bonobo Panbanisha's experiments with make-up

The bonobos as they grew up in the forests of Georgia they often encountered dangerous things, including panthers, bears, eagles, hawks, and - on a regular basis, beings that we could not see or hear but they could see or hear them and insisted to us - that these beings were there. Sometimes they showed us places that had been altered in the vegetation. Often times, if the dogs traveled with us, they heard what the bonobos heard. We sometimes painted our faces to scare these being away. But in this video, Sara Gruen visited us in Iowa and wanted Panbanisha to put on "make-up" and prepae a joint "video shoot" at the request of the Great Ape Trust's PR director, Mr. Al Setka. Here Panbanisha is attempting to oblige. At first she did not wish to so. She told everyone "Hide" and went inside so that she could not be filmed. After Sue explained to her that she herself would participate as well and that Panbanisha could help Sue put her "make-up" on - Panbanisha returned and the session began. It is mostly quiet -as there is no need for further words.
