We present a preliminary report on foods consumed by unhabituated bonobos (Pan paniscus) in a forest-savanna habitat during the period 07-29 September 2008. Although limited in scope, our data reveal some novel foods that had not been reported as food items from other bonobo study sites. This study was conducted 300 km northwest of Kinshasa along the Congo River, near the villages of Nkala, Mbou-Mon-Tour, and Embirima, Bolobo Territory, District of Plateaux de Batéké, in Bandundu province in D.R. Congo (for more details, see Maloueki et al. 2013).
