Chimps Hunting in Trees

[forcelifeforce]

Chimpanzees are not friends to humans.

[TheSanguineOne]

Why is Maury Povich narrating this? :/

[retrosmasher]

You see how that chimp climbs at 0:02.. I've tried that so much times on a tree like that and its like impossible

[TheZdawg1000]

They are truly amazing things, the way they think is incredible and resemble so many behaviours of us.

[zcrosby]

FUCKKK!!!!!!! chimps are fuckin awesome!!!!!!

food is everything to them. i bet a lot of them are hungry as hell. still, the good times must be fuckin great when your a chimp.

[ta2joe13]

christ, that narrator has got to be the worst ever

[Buttman1971]

I too saw that clip of chimps hunting black and white colobus way back in 1990 when I was 19 I too was disturbed but what they omitted in that the clip from TRIALS of Life narrated by DAVID Attemborough was that the CHIMPS tend to hunt Juveniles and Babies as the alpha Male is far too aggressive......though I agree the narrater here on National Geographic would better suited for used car sales or a washing powder cemmercial as long asit's not CILLIT BANG!......

[Gorillathehun]

Is it just me or was this the most inappropriate narrater I've ever heard?

[Buoycott]

I thought chimps were cute until I saw this video lol.

Scary is what they are.

[kgsteelers]

this comment is for the idiot that put a "thumbs down" on my previous comment. So your saying there is something out there that can jump 50 feet high?

[CalxP]

lol i tohught they were vegetarins

[rydag11]

@CalxP I think most primates are. I read that a chimp will sometimes snatch a baby from a village. No matter what I still think they are cool.

[TiRa999]

Reminds me of humans hunting.

[rydag11]

@TiRa999 With one major difference they are doing it for food while most humans do it for sport

[achilders1]

The chimpanzee is omnivorous. It eats fruits, leaves, palm nuts, seeds and stems, as well as ants, birds' eggs, fish and termites. Chimpanzees will occasionally hunt in groups to kill and eat baboons, monkeys and wild pigs. Declaring they are herbivores does not make them so.

[rydag11]

@achilders1 Even gorillas will hunt if another food source is not readily available

[achilders1]

Interesting--I didn't know that. Thanks for your reply.

[king242424loloololol]

i dont

[avatarzurc]

i feel bad for the killed monkey

[2290502]

circle of like man

get over it

[dachrisman2004]

Why? It's nature, stupid.....They're not hippie vegetarians.

[avatarzurc]

no one ever said it wasn't nature. I like monkeys and I just felt bad for it stupid.

[rydag11]

@dachrisman2004 Vegetarianism is not a bad thing. Watch Food INC. it is enough to put you off meat for good.

[freebearride]

noooooooo froooooodoooooooo

[Makaveli21x]

unsportsman like conduct

15 yards from the end of the play - 1st down

[BMXER1987]

why are you a racist cunt, your gonna get shanked rudeboy

[alex3914]

I wonder if people will be hunting blacks in Africa in the far future.....just like these chimps are doing....Hey.....

People are gonna need to eat something.

[Musclebe]

_I_

[alex3914]

lol!

[lolzk0]

If you look at these primates go, you'll see that everything they do exemplifies mankind's own actions. Monkeys etc. really are a good way at seeing in an obvious fashion how humanity is

[GuerillaShrimp]

Amazing footage.

[marialigaya4991]

i didn't know monkeys eat another monkeys

i assume they're herbivores eating bananas

guess i should try to read more ...

[MarilynWK88]

I've seen a similar video of chimps tearing apart a monkey and you can just hear it screaming. Very sad but that's nature for you.

[abtin909]

wheres the video

[Musclebe]

1:22 did he say 50 feet? i think its 15

[O2X2I]

yea i thought that :S

although, would be funny to see somthing jump like 50 times it own height, it would practicly fly lol

[Musclebe]

yeah only frogs can do that

[kgsteelers]

Thats not what he ment. They make make huge leaps when they are 50 feet high in the trees. You know nothing can jump that high.

[Musclebe]

okay thanks:)

[phonzee101]

makes me want to play donkey kong games

[ratsrule112]

i dont like chimpanzees anymore 0_0

[EnvironMentalVidz]

Cmon now.. I know it's a little violent and gory but hey, Nature will be Nature! and All animals have to eat! Most hunt. So if you saw all the animals that hunt , in action, I don't think you could possibly NOT like ANY of them! Tigers..Eagles..Wolves..Crocod­iles.. even ones that aren't as violent! LOL.

Still was pretty gory though xD

[jbk6789]

who r they?

kfc & malt liquor?

Im assuming black people?

well, good job rascist...i c some1 still isnt evolved enough yet..

do you believe that all men r created equal?

i do, except 4 rascist people like urself..

ur not american, ur european, so go back 2 europe & quit dissrespectin others..because u r NOT funny...

[DM2A4]

me too

[turbotraker]

I see evolution hasn't caught up with you yet?

[stupidfreakkid11]

this narrator makes not want to watch national geographic anymore... :/

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

I was just wishing to be a Colobus monkey this morning! Well forget that now. This is just wrong. And why is the narrator so upbeat about this? Isn't it the equivalent of a human eating a chimp?

[joekuka]

How is that funny. If you were in the tree they would rip your ass apart too!

[Chick6517]

that was fantastic .... haha you have be rolling on the floor right now never thought i would see something that funny hahaha ... HILARIOUS

[PolxenTwo]

That's us finding a golden ticket

[rrefs]

lol the monkey got his food stolen

owned

[Astralnaut]

The homicide rate for male chimpanzees is around 33%.

[RickChimera]

Climbing trees, looking for humanoid prey. I suppose they call it the Sarah Palin-effect.

[brutallyunbiased]

She would just rent a helicopter and shoot the monkeys from it...or clear-cut the entire jungle. Both would work nicely.

[6663000]

Not rascist at all

[RickChimera]

Climbing trees, looking for humanoid prey. I suppose they call it the Kirstey Alley effect.

[brutallyunbiased]

She would just eat the tree, to get at the monkey.

[y2raza]

the last sentence by the narrator was a snide racist remark, why would he bring NFL into the discussion realizing that 80% of the players are black especially the Wide Receivers who happen to be the ones who celebrate the most!!! there is nothing analogous here at all!

[brutallyunbiased]

That clearly wasn't what he meant. Quit trying to be offended so easily.

[DarkEclips]

LOL thats funny. How is that racist....you black people think everything is racist.

[y2raza]

ur mind is so overcome by the fact that any one who thinks this is racist must be black tells everything abt u!!!

there was no reason for the narrator to bring NFL into the discussion !! knowing full well that a monkey video with a reference to a league with 80% black players would be taken as such!!

[dasapostate]

I'm quite sure the makers of this short are acutely aware that the concept of race is a myth, and that no such implication was intended. Your rejection of the analogy, in favour of a rather obscene association, may speak more to your perspectives than to theirs. Consider it.

[y2raza]

it may or may not, a monkey video with NFL reference is very distasteful that is all, why even make such an asinine analogy!

[DarkEclips]

Why make such a big deal about it. He was just making the reference that there is no Show Boating in the NFL because you will get fined. Just like how the Chimp got his prize taken away from him after he was showing off. How ignorant fools like you will even find this offensive is just plain stupid.

[y2raza]

why are u being so defensive & trying to explain the video!!

i found it distasteful & that is all!!! & i said so !!

[joeysonson]

haha.....you find completely normal dietary animal eating other animals distasteful?! haha.....you must be another disillusioned extreme hippy who probably expects animals to turn vegan?! hahhahaha....this may have been the funniest thing i have ever written!!!!

[y2raza]

ignoramus do u even know what i was commenting on !!

[dasapostate]

National Geographic were the producers of the documentary, 'Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey'. I think Wells' closing remarks in that piece summarize the philosophy of NG: "Old-fashioned concepts of race are not only socially divisive, they're scientifically wrong".

The paradigm in which you live probably warrants considerable sensitivity on the matter of 'race', and I suspect that you're thinking may well have been correct had it not been so hopelessly misplaced.

[tekunoredii]

:o  !!!

[KrazyRawb]

Thats sickkk

[TRUMPHENT]

Only your evolutionary relatives were harmed in making this film. Are you healthy enough to climb those trees?

[KrazyRawb]

Wth?

[infiniteusername]

lol, frodo.

[mebe]

was that subliminal racism? comparing the apes with nfl players? i found that kind of odd.

[beejm90]

Perhaps i am a dumbass, but where do you see subliminal racism at?

[carnut666]

nfls players are a race now? : P

it seems like the analogy had more to do with the fact that show boating is looked down upon these days in the nfl and the chimp was show boating.

seems like a legit analogy to me

I doubt there was any racism intended especially since the nfl has players of different races from all over the world

[y2raza]

do they really !! 80% of NFL players are Black!!

[TomiSkelator]

:O Woot haha Omg Poor monkey :(

[knightdrako]

Im curious if it is possible for humans to teach chimps how to make spears or even try to teach the chimps how to use spears.

[MispuppyLove4animals]

Me too :D

But what if the monkeys throw them at the trainers

[mebe]

some are capable of using spears i believe

[knightdrako]

Yeah Theres another vid here in youtube that talks about it. Even though the spear is just a branch with a pointy end its still darn impressive. The Chimps prbly figured it out by using the same concept as their termite fishing technique.

[dasapostate]

Investigate Bonobo apes. Remarkable creatures - highly social apes capable of a range of tool use, language, etc.

[OLYMPIAisSPEAKING]

if you watched the descendants of this family for like a million years i bet they would eventually be humans...

[MispuppyLove4animals]

So if a bear came would it attack the poor little monkey?

[teemuruskeepaa]

Monkeys are not always vegetarian. You've got problems.

[MispuppyLove4animals]

I'm talking bout them defending themselves so...[

[teemuruskeepaa]

Ok...

[MispuppyLove4animals]

Alright then.

[stenchinator]

its a monkey eat monkey world out there

[ncconv]

5th lmao

[darlina95]

i wanna be a chimp and hang on trees o.o

[yunfanlai]
