Nyota (born 1998) is a Bonobo.
Nyota was born at the Language Research Center at Georgia State University. His mother is Panbanisha and his father is P-suke. Nyota's name means "Star" in Lingala, a language from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa.
As of 2004 a precocious youngster, Nyota is instrumental to researchers investigating the cross-generational effects of language and culture in a second-generation bonobo reared in a bi-cultural environment. In the autumn of 2005 he and his bonobo family will be moving to the Great Ape Trust in Iowa.
