Ah, the great river ape. See how she keeps her young in the front of the boat she constructed for protection?

That child totally had it coming. Nobody should be able to be out at dusk except cars.

I looked this dude up recently and apparently they were trying to copy fishermen, but having a hard time. That is until they decided to use the stick to help themselves to fish that were being reeled in on a line.

These apes are RIPPED

Apparently humans lost all our buff muscles like this when we evolved to become lean mean running machines. We're some of the best endurance runners on earth, but at the cost of losing being effortlessly jacked like this.

Apparently we are closer to bonobos than previously thought, which would explain why we can be sexhavers, warmongers, and poo poo-flinging lunatics during either activity.

Chimps and bonobos are more closely related to each other than humans, so that means that we're equally related to both of them. But they're saying that the ancestral chimp-bonobo that existed prior to the split in the two species may have been more bonobo-like that previously thought.

Have any of yall read/watched the various stories of pet chimps hulking out on their "owners"

The most famous one is the NY lady who got her face eaten, but a detail you might not be familiar with from that story is that the lady's husband also got his face eaten by a random chimp that escaped when they went to visit their problem chimp at a sanctuary

also iirc the owner of Randy the chimp had also been dosing the poor beast with Xanax, and giving him wine (separately, not together, as far as I can tell), both of which substances have unpredictable enough effects on other humans, let alone on a whole other fuckin’ hominid

except Garbage Ape, who is everyone’s cool best friend and rips nobody’s faces off

What would happen if you gave bath salts to an ape?

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.

The origins for a lot of human behaviors can be learned by studying chimpanzees and bonobos. The former are basically rightwing deathmongers while the latter are leftwing sexpests.

Laughing and clapping always stuck out to me as extremely ape. Like when we’re celebrating we slam our appendages together to make noise while we make hooting noises.

I'm just gonna go ahead and presume they were ape abusers and the chimp who hosed up the husband had heard all about them.
