In this extremely sad wild animal clip, some of the chimps have started to be ravaged by mange. Nature can mean trouble for monkeys, apes, gorillas and other primates in the jungle. From the BBC.

  • to brojulien and stubbleking: the missions of Save the Chimps and the naturalists taking part in this video are different. Save the Chimps seeks to save the lives of chimpanzees from research laboratories and the pet trade. This clip seeks to tell a story of another species in its natural state with minimal human interference. Through the chimpanzees, we see a face of human life. As the title implies, disease is a measure that nature takes to maintain the jungle ecosystem. We cannot interfere.

  • they are there to study them. not to interfere with nature. if they start interfere with chimps lives it's causing them more harm at the end. u do understand this right?

  • Fifi exposes Fred to the Baboons.

    Baboons: Ceasar~~ *kneel*

  • THE WOMAN AND THE CAMERA CREW ARE HEARTLESS

    "UGH DON'T INTERFERE WITH NATURE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND" meanwhile i bet you eat meat

  • @Frankwolf100 Agreed.  Fefe should be poached.

  • Why isn't the women in the advertisement for that movie in the kitchen?

  • I guess shooting a hypo of mange cure into fred was out of the question

  • @PoCripple

    Naw, its just scratching its forearm.

  • Fefe is the same chimp who along with Fanny tried to kill Gremlins twin babies. So don't feel too bad for her, Karma's a bitch!

  • Nature has no intentions, and the only 'right' course of action is one derrived from moral values and subject to rigorous scientific analysis. Is it outrageous to suggest that treating animals for diseases that my have been introduced by humans in the first place might NOT destroy the forest's ecosystem?

  • Polygamous apes share everything, even disease.

  • you're confusing what 'is' with what 'should'. we are the ones who create the 'should' and i think we can do a little better than 'fuck em'. They are family, after all.
