Congo Photo Gallery: Expedition Bonobo The only jungle dwellers more mysterious than the Iyaelima people are the rare bonobo apes that live alongside them.

Most of my photographic gear was packed in hard plastic cases. I'd brought along some handy straps for carrying the cases, but some of the porters preferrred to make their own "paniers" out of the local greenery, a task which they performed with amazing speed and precision. Here you can see both the imported and the local versions at work. —Photographer Robert J. Ross
