If only world leaders settled conflicts as maturely as Bonobos
-
"Gorillas scare me" "Don't worry, it's the Chimpanzees you must worry about. They eat human babies"
-
1:36 "Bonobos settle that social tension by coming together" They sure do
-
I love her presentation style. She is straight forward and informative. She doesn't monkey around.
-
A lot of people seem to forget that humans also show their teeth as a sign of aggression. When you're really angry you can feel your upper lip curling to expose your teeth the same way other animals do. Humans also smile and wince, which also exposes teeth but shows completely different emotions, so why would it be different in other, similar animals?
-
I think there's a reason why Koba, the antagonist of "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes", is a Bonobo. I think they wanted to show just how messed up he is because of human experimentation, the thought that a combination of a higher intelligence and years of abuse made one of the most peaceful apes into one of the most violent ones is kinda scary. Koba was turned into a monster by both humans and his own choices.

"Whenever someone smiles at me, all i see is a chimpanzee begging for its life" Dwight schrute
-
Wait... No human has ever been killed by a Gorilla??? Now I'm mad about Harambe again...
-
"they push their bodies as if to say why aren't u moving." man that made me cry
-
I'm surprised how she makes various mammal's sounds so easily and accurately. She studied them well.
-
I don’t think I’ve ever heard one of these experts call someone out for asking a question in an “unsophisticated” way they just answer it in earnest, very refreshing
-
If Planet of the Apes had human baby eating scenes, we'd have a whole different trilogy on our hands.
-
16:26 Gorillas walking upright always get me lmfao. It's kind of amazing but it looks so silly
-
Absolutely loved that she didn't dismiss Planet of the apes. But pointed out what they did right.
-
i love the reminder that we, humans, are also apes.
-
Her point at 4:00 was actually more significant than many realize. Yes, Bonobos are typically more docile and kind-natured but the fact that Koba was so ruthless and psychopathic is a testament to how badly he was treated being tested and experimented on by humans. I don't think this was an error on the film's part but more of subtle character development and backstory.
-
10:01 that orangutan looks like a real cool guy. I'd have a beer with him.
-
Hold a moment of silence for our late friend Harambe.
-
Bonobos were always my favourite ape. I find their disappearance in recent years to be incredibly depressing
-
Socially transitioning orangutans is an awesome thing that I cannot thank you enough for gifting me with knowledge of
