Bonobo, Chimp, Gorilla, Orangutan Captive Wild Greeting

Video shows the bonobo, Chimp, Gorilla, Orangutan, both wild and captive, and humans in primate greetings. Both captive and wild individuals are shown. Also shown is Colo the first gorilla born in captivity and world's oldest gorilla.

Primates use pretty much the same greetings, such as head nods, facial expressions, saluting, knocking on things, and hand gestures, whether ape or human. Humans may use facial paint for color as the mandrill does.

In the first part of the video, the bonobo, Lady, and the human hadn't greeted each other for around 2 years. Also, the human had heard that Lady was no longer there. However, both recognized and greeted each other.

A large strong gorilla is shown gently knocking on a door in the next portion. After he fails to arouse anyone, he kicks the door -- letting them know he is there. Note how his posture resembles ones that humans take when knocking and how his head moves in rhythm with his knocking.

He also struts past some people. A young gorilla greets people with waves. The big male looks over the assortment of humans watching him.

Several bonobos greet each other by grooming.

Colo, the world's first gorilla born in captivity and also the world's oldest gorilla, simply watches people passing by.

Video shows the bright colors the mandrill uses in greetings.

Young bonobos and young humans play and greet each other together. The bonobos will play attack people because they consider the area by the glass as their space

A wild chimpanzee watches hidden humans watching her.

An orangutan imitates human behavior. When the human shows teeth, so does she. When the human shows gum the orangutan shows what she is chewing also.

@54markl no we didnt evolve from them. we werent once them. both us and them evolved from a same ape. that ape's populations got split or something and some evolved into humans and the other evolved into chimps and bonobos.

@TheAlmightyCockhead probably.... has never been known to the public if they have

[54markl]

Our relatives. Only 2% chromosomes separate us. We should do better by them. We were them once.
