The basic employment of pygmies - hunting and collecting. With the primitive weapon of the man safely go on the largest animals. Hunters leave in a wood late, only after the sun will dry up dew as they are afraid of its cold drops falling from trees. Pygmies are able to spin networks from lianas. Length of such network about 9 m, and width - about 1 m. of 10-20 networks fasten together. Sometimes networks are stretched on hundreds meters. A network adhere above and below to branches of trees and bushes. After that women and children leave far forward and start to exhaust shouts animals which are promptly born, being rescued from beaters, and get in a network. They toss, fight, trying to be released, and even more confuse. Then hunters take animals from a network, entangle their lianas of a leg and bear them home. After that men have a rest, and women cook I food. The killed animal is property of all community. Plates during meal leaves of bananas, as plugs - the perfected sticks serve.
Women and children are engaged in collecting. Never falling outside the limits the site of a wood, they find edible roots, a grass, a bark, leaves of trees and bushes. All this “crop” shares fifty-fifty between families. Products of collecting go to food in a crude kind or boiled, from them prepare for various dishes.
Sometimes pygmies hunt and on monkeys. Between people below and monkeys above there is a present fight. Monkeys throw people than has got. Fruits, dull ends, branches - all flies downwards. People find out monkeys and start up in them arrows. If it is possible to kill female the cub mostly itself rushes downwards and nestles on dead mother, and both of them drag in settlement. Meat of monkeys is tasty.
Pygmies worship to spirits, trust in sorcery. Ceremonial ceremonies play a greater role in their daily life. Pygmies are musical, love dances and dancings in which glorify the ancestors and mythical heroes.

The largest animals are found in depth of a wood where the greatest trees grow and - elephants, there live the smallest people of globe - pygmies. Growth of the man not above 140 sm, growth of the woman is much less. Tribes of pygmies: efe, basooa, bakve, bambooty, acca, batva, babinga , etc. Scientists believe, that pygmies have lodged in a river basin of Congo long before other people, and some researchers consider pygmies as natives of these places.
Pygmies in languages of the neighbours - speak a bow and adamua east. They conduct rather isolated way of life though enter economic communications with next people, exchanging products of hunting on agricultural - bananas, manioc, millet.
Pygmies put the small villages in depth of a wood, often move from a place on a place. As dwelling it are served with the tents similar on small green hillock, constructed of palm leaves. They are built by women. They drive in the ground of a branch the thick ends downwards. The top parts of branches connect a lianas so, that the arch is formed. A number of such arches also makes a skeleton of dwelling. Then on a skeleton put greater leaves of palm trees, attaching them to a skeleton the split stalk. Construction of such dwelling takes away two-rub hours. Furniture of a hut unpretentious. In it there is a bed are two boards put by a number, under which one end the piece of a tree is palmed off to raise them. Such bed is covered by nothing.  Under a head instead of pillows they put an own hand. About pillows and blankets pygmies have no concept. Despite of seeming plain, tents are made strongly and represent good shelter from tropical downpours. Pygmies produce house utensils only from a vegetative material - leaves and a bark of trees. Quite often these subjects of the unitary use.
