Go to your local hood and conduct these studies there
they are scary
That gestures give my bloody ball back! Cause once it goes into that garden you won't get it back
"they even perform actions that seem way too human"
Video audio returns
Chimpanzee screams
3:33 im dying from this one standing and then sitting
Imagine if that Lady did a documentation on Lope the Gorilla dancing.
You wouldn't get a whole picture, a lot of their culture would be lost by being inside an enclosure
3:09 digging in his nose
I am a chimpanzee
And still christians & Muslims believes in creationist theories…..what a shame!
1:12
“yo he’s over there snitching”
“ WHO? “
Katya has great hair.
Why do all Chimpanzees look like Abe Vigoda ?
1:24 Good Slavic Squat for a chimp
…"Thanks",, BOBZGT???????
il y avait bien une jeune fille , ki a failli me faire bobo
They look like a group of little old men at the prison yard…it's a shame human beings have overwhelmingly terrorized them, almost gone extinct and house these innocent folks into lifelong cages. SMH ?
They’re probably trying to impress the white chick to see who gets to keep her
Last seen so lovely cute beautiful oh my god
I know the language to communicate with chimpanzees…
Yee
WHOS THAT WOMAN?
I've been to Twycross zoo
0:56 Chimps: REEEE, REEEEE, REEEEE
Girl: I see, mhm, yeah yeah… Ill note that down.
1:12 "dude they are coming for ya." "who!"
They have a hairless chimp at that zoo it's ripped, the hair hides how strong they are.
Wide smiles are also brought on by exposure to Nintendo switches and cameras. At least in human males.
Caesar… Loves human
Just ask a feminist,it's their first language.
Fun Fact: Chimps are at least 3 times stronger then an average human
Chicago gang wars.
I thought speaking chimp was a 12 gauge shotgun…
Maybe A308 with a sweet scope on top of it..
I did a study in the scientist studying the chimps. I have been studying her for a year.
Don't trust chimpanzees , trust orangutans better
3:30 one only has to look at how a kid learns a language to know that it starts with mimicking
Very interesting. One thing i notice is that people subconsciously care more about the non spoken language when creating a perception of someone else
Why are they so swole?
Well no s*it honey ofc they can speak human language! They're the Closest species to our species right now they have the smarts of a human child
It would be interesting to have two separate ape enclosures completely blocked off from one another and see how new gestures come up over time and how they differ from each other, simulation different languages stemming from two environments.
Thank goodness humans evolved to have butt cheeks.
It would be so cool to have an enclosure full of Australopithecus and see how they act and how close they are to human behavior.
