Chimpanzees may confront death in a lot of the same ways we do, researchers suggest. Their findings show chimps grieving, holding bedside vigils and even having a hard time 'letting go' of the departed. Jorge Ribas reports.

  • The segment with the corpse is chilling. The way its limbs are all spindly as the mother picks it up and places it onto her back - this is a bit of a dark video for Discovery to upload, is it not? Interesting though.

  • I always pound on dead peoples bodies to bring them back to life.

  • kill all these nasty ass nigger chimps..split all their heads wide open

  • how the fuck did i get here, i was just looking at jelly FISHSHSHSH.

  • I am very hopeful that in the future, scientists will do as they have said they will now and allow the animals to die among their friends and families. And Kekermonger- pounding on the chests of the bodies is exactly what doctors do in hospital to try to get a heart beating again.

  • @Kekermonger Does it work?

  • @OrangeAgu6 you really want to get laid with me do you? 

  • @Eternalmysteryable Ever seen dumb girls? Now you have!

  • @Eternalmysteryable I disagree. This video is NOT "nothing". It is a lot if you're interested in differences/similarities between species. Many people draw a line between all 'other' animals and humans, stating that 'animals' do not understand/behave/ respond as humans do. This video shows the contrary. When I refer to the "corpse" in my initial comment, I am reflecting on the entirety of the clip, i.e. here, a mother refuses to leave behind a child who is clearly beyond ‘recently deceased’.

  • @BladesOfMunch Then this Video is nothing...

  • @Eternalmysteryable Yeah I have.

  • @BladesOfMunch you have seen nothing in life...ever seen bodies being chopped and burned.
