  • Again: fascinating video!

  • After 2nd chimp steals food

    1st chimp: D:------

    * drops food all over floor*

    2nd chimp: YOU MAD BRO?

  • @OrangeAndBlack1000 They do mind the cage. It's not home to them. If you removed them from it, they get happy.

  • @RandomSymms Chimpanzees don't have the sophisticated wrists and dexterous hands of a human.

    Chimpanzees cant even finishing tieing shoes even though they know how to; very frustrating.

    They simply wouldn't be able to do the same work as a human even though they would certainly know how to.

  • 1:10 Problem, chimp?

  • ROFL...HILARIOUS when the chimp crashed the table.

  • Why are they not our slaves they'll do anything for peanuts?

  • @teedonster I' m sure they prefer their home with danger and freedom. however i hope this interesting study permit to respect more the animal life, understanding more them.

  • @selvatico3 i know but would you rather live in a cage(home to them) well fed or the african jungle filled with danger?

    they might miss home in their cells

  • 1:16 ASSHOLE!!!
