@Turdbuckethat - my point was that the stresses created by being in captivity cause the chimps to act out in ways they wouldn't in the wild. I've worked with chimps in both scenarios, captive and wild, and I've never seen the wild chimps display that kind of behavior. People in prison have the luxury of therapy. Captive apes don't.
@ritroo People in prison have the luxury of therapy? WHAT THE HELL? Have you been to prison? People in prison don't get therapy. People in prison are treated like animals.
@rocaho001 Depends what country you are from. But yes, prisons can be more luxurious than many working class homes now. And in developed countries, yes, there is always compulsory psychological therapy. PS. We are animals, the human animal.
@Turdbuckethat A lot of human prisoners come close to that behavior. Many prisoners have been known to act out by smearing their excrement over the walls in their cells, throwing it at the correctional officers, etc.
@Turdbuckethat There are documented cases of that, yes. In fact, there are plenty of clinically sane people who do that too. You should be aware of that by now, being an internet troll. Honestly, grow up.
@Turdbuckethat I only have one question for you sir: How old are you? According to your profile you're 48, I sincerely hope that's not true, and if it is all hope is lost.
Why do people assume a human laugh is a normal laugh. If you actually detach yourself, and seriously LISTEN to a human laugh it sounds just as weird as any other animal.
Why can't ppl jux enjoy the fact that hearing a little chimp laugh was adorable? Jux saying if u wanna get into a political argument join the debate team at ur school lol B)
@anyvids51 -- Alphie, the 2 year old chimp that I'm tickling, ran up to me one day and playfully slapped me on the back. It totally knocked the wind out of me! They're insanely strong! They say a 3 year old chimp is strong enough to throw THREE Arnold Schwarzenezggers across the room!
@ritroo "They" are wildly exaggerating the strength of a chimp. A three year old chimp would have to be capable of lifting 1,800 lbs. to be three times the strength of Arnold. Yes, chimps are considerably stronger than humans. But even an adult male chimp is only about 3 times the strength of a man.
@ritroo Holy shit, scared me just watching you play with it. They are seriously dangerous when they get older. I'd honestly rathered be mauled by a bear then be attacked by a chimp and have my face, balls and w/e else ripped off.
that cute little pet will tear your face off . . stupid people loving animals more than humans ! IDIOCY ! they are NOT human and should NOT be made as pets !
Anyone that gets injured asks for it being so intimate with these WILD ANIMALS !
DUMB ! Go help a child, feed the poor and help those in society that are weakest amongus HUMANS are MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANIMALS !
@Gioachino350 I DO respect it enough to know NOT to mess with WILD ANIMALS ! FOOLS ! THEY ARE ANIMALS . .say it a thousand times and maybe you will get it !
IT'S NOT A MONKEY!!! PEOPLE GET WITH IT....I'm seeing too many comments saying that it is one... Both monkey's and apes are in the primate family (as well as lemurs and humans)...but that's it... That's like calling a gorilla a monkey, you very well know it's not....same thing goes for chimpanzees!!!
I only youtubed this because I'm reading an article for my Psych class about human laughter and it started talking about how chimps laugh.. I just HAD to look it up and I started laughing myself!
@lost2darkness What d'yah mean Chimps are the closest specias to a human so they sometimes grow to exept us. Like Tigers are close to lions. Dogs close to wolves.
@CreativeGuyKyle Actually there is a case recently where a pet chimpanzee attacked a woman and literally ripped her face off. Look it up, its pretty disturbing.
@jedihunter176 I dont think you understand - wild animals should NEVER be kept as pets (I'm not even referring to the video here - an animal sanctuary is different, but I still think that that much human interaction is not the best idea).
as much as I'd really love to own a Serval or another wildcat it is just WRONG to do so. Wild animals belong in the wild.
@lost2darkness I understand, Darkness. I never said anything about owning a wild animal as a pet. What I meant by given good homes, was in places like animal sanctuaries/orphanages, good preserves, etc.
I agree with you on not having wild animals as pets, however, I think this applies to mostly mammals and birds. Reptiles (save for crocodilians and large/venomous snakes) seem to be a huge exception. They adapt well to captivity, and there are plenty of reptile care products out there.
@HateFenians I'd like to know how you categorize apes then?
Also Im one of those people who consider humans to be in the "animal" category...so that would definitely make chimps and gorillas fall under that umbrella as well. They are "wild" animals because they have not been domesticated.
lol, did you just base that off of that opera victim that had the pet chimp? She was an idiot! She kept a male adult chimp as a pet and put it in a cage...chimps are basically humans that aren't very smart, so what would you do if someone treated u as a pet, and put u in a cage for no reason?
There's not much I can think of as cute as a baby chimp. It's sad the little guys/gals often lose their mothers by the time they've made it to video but at least they're being taken care of. And at least if more people see how human like they are, ,more people may care and help save them
Terra...you can actually. There are a number of chimpanzee sanctuaries in the United States where you can volunteer. You might not be able to actually interact with them, but they won't be behind bars -- they'll be in protected outdoor enclosures. It's an amazing thing to behold. I hope you're able to find a place where you can volunteer -- it will change your life.
Hi, Ritroo. Thank you for your comments. There are a couple sanctuaries in my state, but they are many miles to the South. I don't have the time, even on weekends with travel time I have to put in. The least I can do is donate fruits and veggies. One sanctuary has The Meal Deal program. You can donate to feed a chimp for a week, month or year.
Donating/adopting a chimp is as close as I'll get and better than doing nothing at all. The sanctuary's mission is to provide a permanent sanctuary for the lifelong care of chimpanzees rescued from research laboratories, entertainment and the pet trade.
@bennylbja Its a wildlife orphanage, so I'm guessing that the goal is to rescue them and hopefully return them to the wild. Sometimes that isn't possible, but I know there are a lot of sanctuaries (not zoos) that give them a great quality of life.
@TerraCLyn awww yeahh chimps are so cute and are amazing, but then I think about that woman who had her face ripped off by a chimp and it all changes.
it is so sad that people are testing on these amazing animals. it get so sad thinking about it. but this is adorable. i really hope i can go to africa some day and see these animals in person.
hi...just read your comment. i volunteered at this place in africa --- all the chimps there were rescued from poachers who killed their families. we hung out with them on a daily basis to kind of recreate their normal family dynamic. alphie was 2 in this video - and very healthy after having been chained up by his waist for 2 years. and he's definitely giggling, not being aggressive. they're totally ticklish, just like little kids.
I'm glad you told me that . I'm so sick of the vid's where you see the spirit of the monkey destroyed by humans by keeping them chained tightly to some filthy depressing cage and their owners see nothing wrong with this. It repeats far to much all over the world. We as humans should be ashamed of ourselves.
The only vids I've seen of that are ones where they are being rescued. You've seen a vid where an owner has one chained up and it's being filmed as a good thing? I'd appreciate any links - it sounds like you've seen quite a few.
I've been seeing many vid's of Sanctuaries raising young chimps and it dawned on me that all these young creatures had their mothers brutally murdered by poachers . Most likely sold for bushmeat. Apparently bushmeat is being exported illegally to Finland, Germany ,Egypt and a few other countries. The U.N must get involved with this problem instead of sitting on the fence which is usually all there good for.
Here in the states, the chimps probably came from families bred in captivity (read Nim Chimpsky the chimp that would be human for a real eye opener) as opposed to poached but it's always awful to see cases where they are treated awfully. I disagree on the UN, their track record with saving people is so bad-their peacekeepers would likely end up being part of the bushmeat trade and providing cover for poachers. Changing people's minds/values is the only answer I can see.
That sound IS chimp giggling/laughing. It is also known as "the happy pant." Also, notice, along with that sound was the play face, where the mouth is hanging open, lower lip loose, upper lip usually covering the upper row of teeth. I work with chimps for a living and hear this sound and see that face quite a lot during the day, especially after playing chase or tickling them.
very amusing. i've heard gorillas laughing as well.

that chimp skin on its head didn't look very good and I hope she's caring for this little guy properly. It didn't sound like gigling to me.

hi...just read your comment. i volunteered at this place in africa --- all the chimps there were rescued from poachers who killed their families. we hung out with them on a daily basis to kind of recreate their normal family dynamic. alphie was 2 in this video - and very healthy after having been chained up by his waist for 2 years. and he's definitely giggling, not being aggressive. they're totally ticklish, just like little kids.

I'm glad you told me that . I'm so sick of the vid's where you see the spirit of the monkey destroyed by humans by keeping them chained tightly to some filthy depressing cage and their owners see nothing wrong with this. It repeats far to much all over the world. We as humans should be ashamed of ourselves.

The only vids I've seen of that are ones where they are being rescued. You've seen a vid where an owner has one chained up and it's being filmed as a good thing? I'd appreciate any links - it sounds like you've seen quite a few.

I've been seeing many vid's of Sanctuaries raising young chimps and it dawned on me that all these young creatures had their mothers brutally murdered by poachers . Most likely sold for bushmeat. Apparently bushmeat is being exported illegally to Finland, Germany ,Egypt and a few other countries. The U.N must get involved with this problem instead of sitting on the fence which is usually all there good for.

Here in the states, the chimps probably came from families bred in captivity (read Nim Chimpsky the chimp that would be human for a real eye opener) as opposed to poached but it's always awful to see cases where they are treated awfully. I disagree on the UN, their track record with saving people is so bad-their peacekeepers would likely end up being part of the bushmeat trade and providing cover for poachers. Changing people's minds/values is the only answer I can see.

That sound IS chimp giggling/laughing. It is also known as "the happy pant." Also, notice, along with that sound was the play face, where the mouth is hanging open, lower lip loose, upper lip usually covering the upper row of teeth. I work with chimps for a living and hear this sound and see that face quite a lot during the day, especially after playing chase or tickling them.
