Been thinking about apes lately and how cool they are. I like when they’re cute or funny, less so when they’re sad or endangered.

One of my early memories was visiting a zoo in Germany when I was seven and seeing a gorilla for the first time. He was huge, and as he sat there watching the watchers he made eye contact with me and I saw crystal clear, thinking intelligence, and that image has stayed with me to this day. I think that brief encounter played an instrumental part in giving me the deep love and respect for all animals that I have today.

The only other memory I have from that day is a big nosed ape (or monkey?) whose species I am unsure of showing me his rear end and then charging the glass. I think he wanted to kill us, but I still love and respect him.

That was 35 years ago and both of those apes are probably dead now. :smith:

edit: it was definitely one of these, a Proboscis monkey:

Dang this coot is PRO. First they do the hootin and hollerin to get people leaning forward, paying attention, then rocking back and forth with the arms swaying so you don't even notice the palmed turd, then an underarm fastball right smack dab in the middle of grannies face! A great ape indeed.

apes are unsettling and bad. They rip off and deglove fingers and poo poo without blinking an eye. Basically super powered strength and agility, devoid of moral reasoning, in a grotesque humanoid form

That's more chimps when they get violent. Orangutans are less violent. Gorillas show violence and can and do violence do each other, but a lot of it is show.

Basically, from what I've heard, if you offer food to chimps and gorillas, they tend to just take it, sometimes running away to make sure they can eat all of it without anyone else taking it from them. If you offer orangutans food, they tend to break it in half and hand you back your half.

Most humans are on par with the low apes. The best most of them could hope for is hypersimian (monosyllabes, basic tool use, ability to choose right and wrong but still swallow their gum).

When I was a kid they had some of those fu man chu mustache pocket monkeys at the Minnesota zoo. Or como, idk. Anyways, I was on a field trip and saw it. You know how there's this weird slightly squishy seal between panes of glass or plastic? This loving mustache monkey was using its long rear end pencil thin long to lick a hole through it. This guy was just plastered against the pane, reverse-throating it's weirdly long tongue through the hole, with it just flopping up, then down, over and over again. We all took turns getting licked by the monkey. It was pretty cool.

If I had it all to do over again I'd go with orangutan this time. They seem like they've got it all figured out. Nothing but eating fruit all day and giving each other backrubs. They've got all of the ape smarts and none of the ape murder rage.

Please don't ruin orangutans for me by explaining that they do in fact have ape murder rage. I don't want to hear that poo poo. Nobody does.
