Panbanisha the bonobo demonstrates her magnificent ginsu cooking skills, and her compatriots demonstrate recognition of photos.

Sue Savage-Rumbaugh has been raising and studying Panbanisha, Kanzi and Matata for years, and as much as possible, treating them like they are human, while stil
l allowing them to behave as bonobos.

From the BBC documentary "Chimps are People, Too".

  • RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES 2012!!!!!

  • That women looks so happy working with the chimp (Panbanisha).

  • @Super33Human ah cheers mate :)

  • Regarding use of the term Chimpanzee: It's the "common name" for both living species of ape in the genus Pan. They are Pan troglodytes, the Common Chimpanzee typically referred to by that name, and Pan paniscus, the Bonobo. There is no listed species called Chimpanzee.

  • @MarcusIGrant No, she's a female with swellings indicating she's sexually receptive.

  • @MarcusIGrant Apes and monkeys get that when they are in heat. It is to tell the other apes/monkeys that they are ready to mate.

  • are those its balls? :O

  • the image of a knife has become demonized, vilifed in the collective conciousness over the centuries, and that dreaded, sanguinary idea deeply engraved in our psyche. to an ape, it is just another tool - as it does not hold the idea of sharpness - the essence of its power.

    the only danger could arise from the very absence of that conception, that is from unawareness on the part of an ape of the hurt that a blade could bring to another.
