This is the rope test, or officially, gregariousness. Basically there are two ropes spread apart. We want to see whether bonobos want to play with a human experimenter or just by themselves. I like this clip because it's the two bad boys, Luozi and Kindu. Watch my face when Kindu decides to plonk his wet dirtiness all over me.
