Kongo Bongo

Kongo Bongo Island is the home of Donkey Kong and the rest of the Kong Family. It is a key location from the Donkey Kong series.

Appearance
Kongo Bongo Island is the Banana-shaped Island/shaped like Donkey Kong's head, complete with features such as ears and Donkey Kong's signature hair swirl. Kongo Bongo Island was home to the Kongs, among other creatures. The island itself is extremely large and has drastically different climates in various areas, some areas being jungle, frozen wasteland, and desert. There are several mysterious ruins on the island primarily resembling ancient South American architecture.

Government
The denizens of Donkey Kong Island usually live peacefully together. While there does not appear to be an official government in place, Donkey Kong acts as the leader of the Kong Family, and the clan typically turns to him for leadership. Despite no longer having the strength to acts as the island's protector, Cranky Kong appears to have retained his role as patriarch of the family, and is often seen giving orders to the others while advising the younger generation during difficult times. In comparison, the events of the animated television series indicate that DK is slated to be future ruler of the island, implying that in the show, he has not yet earned the title.

Demographics
Kongo Bongo Island is home to a number of different creatures, the most notable are the Kongs, a diverse race of primates who make up the primary cast of the Donkey Kong series. While the Kong Family is composed of good-natured apes, the orangutan-like Manky Kongs that inhabit the island were extremely rowdy and violent, and as a result the entire faction was rejected by the family. In addition to the apes, many other animals on the island are known to be intelligent, with most possessing the ability to speak. Several species such as the Gnawty Beavers and Zinger Wasps, and Necky Vultures are affiliated with the Kremling Krew, and openly attack the good-natured apes whenever possible.

The Kremlings are also a prevalent race inhabiting the island, having established an industrial plant known as Kremkroc Industries, Inc., in addition to several outposts. The ancient temples found in Angry Aztec and several other locations are also heavily occupied by the menacing crocodilians, although whether or not they built them is never specifically mentioned. Since the Kremlings typically occupy the island in large numbers during invasions and are regularly driven away by the Kongs, it is very possible that the majority of the Kremling population does not live on the island full-time.
