Baby bonobo Teco plays with iPad

[vondellyeah]

Oh, the digital generation. Just wait until he starts dying his hair and running up the phone bills texting all night.

[seethroughskin]

That must be the best job ever, looking after little baby bonobo's.

[att20ful]

He's got effort.

[Nerdicaful]

Wild animals this. Wild animals that. Call the wahmbulence. I support animal research, especially research in chimp and bonobo behavior. It does more than teach us about other species. It teaches us about ourselves.

[sandykoong]

LOOOOL IT HAS A NAPPY!!!

[zebrazoo1]

I would love to spend the rest of my life helping them.. I have some experience with primates..and ADORE them.

[TheYoGhurtE]

After that, he rode backwards on a pig I guess. 

[NexisFilms]

What have they done to these beautiful creatures ?!

Whatever you do at Great Ape Trust ...

DON'T show them Facebook , i beg you !!

[missemiliou]

wild animals should be kinda left as wild not dressed up like an idiot in a nappy to play games - kinda doesnt compare to swingin up and down in a coconut tree

[SiriusMined]

@missemiliou

He's not just "playing games". He's learning to communicate.

[888star1]

At 4 months old he has proved himself more intelligent than 40% of McDonalds employees. Keep it up sir, you have a bright career ahead of you.

so precious :)

[Revorob]

Maximum cute!!!!!!

[wollin20]

If human babies are persons, which is considered as obvious by most (our personality is essentially forged before the age of 3), then great apes should be protected the exact same way!

[peoplemadeofcats]

@wollin20 couldnt agree more the video with the orangutans playing with the ipads is neat too

[J1zzardOfOz]

@wollin20 fuck you, i want to train an ape like this just so i can teach it about despair and kill its family infront of it and then release it and track it !!!omg. i have such the urge, just gave my life a viscious goal!! fuck yes fuck yes. would be like tracking a ugly ass human, bet it screams like one to

[kyloyoyo]

@J1zzardOfOz hey i read news about this and the found that baby abondond

[ArmageddonAfterparty]

He's asking why there is no flash.

[DukeLovesYou]

PRAY

FOR

MOJO

[leandra863]

soooooo cute <3

[SimAlex20000]

iApe?

[Samoancanadian]

My dad can't even use his iPad

[Dalamen]

Why not teach them the alphabet and how to read instead of only lexigrams. I think Dolphins, all great apes and possibly African Grey Parrots can be taught and understand complex thoughts and ideas. I think tablet and touchscreen technology can help us bridge the communication gap (Especially with Dolphins / Apes)

[blackhoundgames]

@Dalamen Dolphins? y do people think dolphins are so smart

[jpmetroidkiller96]

@blackhoundgames Because they are! Dolphins are very smart.

[Birdboy07]

@blackhoundgames “Man has always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much...the wheel, New York, wars and so on...while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man...for precisely the same reason.” -Douglas Adams

[whitewolfwithblackSP]

He's so cute! awww he reminds me of baby Caesar! <3

[jsuttonus]

that kid is epileptic.

[jovabo112]

That was Steve Jobs.

[hammy311]

Another apple fanboy in the making.

[Maozang]

It is really bizarre observing him near the end, the way he moved was almost like stop motion animation, unnatural, awkward and forced, he must be trying really hard.

[1beckydiaz]

i CAN SEE THAT TECO IS TRYING TO MAKE THAT SOUND THAT HE LIKES i COULD TOTALLY SEE IT!!!! U GO TECO!!!!!

[silverhydra15]

Are you sure that isnt a human baby in a chimps body?

[RocafellaAF1]

I love bonobos!!! Save Them all

[enteradj]

The little one was like, WTF! iPad 1 .. Fuck this shit .. Get me an iPad 2!

hehe .. jokes apart .. I think Bonono's are the most magnificent creatures I have ever seen .. and dare I say .. better than human in many ways!

[sohltofang]

The baby bonobo "shut this lady up, i wanna play on my friggen ipad"

[baddi1973abc]

merry(ied) christmas dear bonobo-baby ;)

[BijiApoCheHugoChavez]

same with human babies, very hard for them to control their hands at such a young age. 

[h3st]

Just a few months old and already playing with computers! Though I hope banging his head like that is poor motor control and not frustration. :|

[AdoreTheApes]

Teco looks like he is really enjoying that toy and he is  5 months old now.

[AbsolutelyCrackers]

Aaaaaw he is so adorable. He's all unsteady and clumsy :3

[ahonestwoman]

Cute!! 

[yuriythebest]

would be cool to have some aliens show off Stephen Hawking "awww he can do physics n stuff just like our toddler timmy!"

[Wrath0fKhan]

@yuriythebest

Sounds like Dr. Tyson... ;-)

[yuriythebest]

@Wrath0fKhan yup :)

[Neeboopsh]

@yuriythebest lol, someone just watched neil degrasse tyson talk to richard dawkins :)

[yuriythebest]

@Neeboopsh yeah :)
