I'm sure we'll be seeing lots of play with all 3 of them before big sister ships of! Maybe even this summer. So far they seem curious, but also do seem to give mom all the space she needs😁

They're really incredible creatures and seeing them move around never gets old! 🤩

Monkeys have tails, apes (Chimpanzees, Gorillas, Homo Sapiens, Gibbons, Siamangs, Orangutans and Bonobo/Pgymy Chimpanzees) don't have tails.

They are apes, not monkeys. The ape house is a silent zone, and most people do follow these rules. Rowdy people are usually kicked out by zoo staff. Majority of the time it is quiet, it is just a few hours in the weekend it can get a bit noisy and if the chimps are tired of the noise they have free acess to the backrooms, far away from the guests. You might get the impression that the enclosure is small, but it is actually one of the biggest indoor chimp enclosures I've seen in zoos. It is well designed and has a good size, having mulitple rooms and a high cieling with lots of climbing opputunities. They have also just finished building a new spacious outdoor area for the chimps, which will open as the weather gets warmer and makes any noise issues much easier for the zoo and the chimps to control.

Mocking and agitating the chimps is not allowed, the chimp house is a silent zone and there's many notices that you're not allowed to knock on the glass. When staff at the zoo notice guests being disruptive they also throw them out. We would really appreciate if you don't leave misinforming comments like this in the future, as your claims are very strong and completely untrue.

While I'm sure you're coming from the right place, that claim is simply not true. The chimps gets sacks they use as blankets, plenty of woodwall for nesting and they get food puzzles like artificial termite mounds and other items where they have to work to get their food out. It's true they have no toys, but they have lots of rope that the younger chimps use to swing and play on and encourages lots of natural behavior. You're welcome to check out our other videos to see these things.

@ i hope so… it just looks so empty here i get upset when i see smaller enclosures with nothing for them to do.. they are so smart and deserve more than average animals in zoos/sanctuaries

I was impressed how big he was able to make it! And seems he found a great spot for it as well. ☺

Thank you! We want our subtitles to be as readable as possible, so we'll definitely consider that for future videos.

Sometimes chimps can be greedy 🤭 At least Seli had a comfortable nest!

@ The best in the room! 😂

Let's hope so! They don't usually do much for birthdays in Copenhagen Zoo, but I can hope they got him a few extra snacks at least.

@apediaries Give them more room, some suitable enclosure, and tell visitors not to annoy the chimps. The noise visitors make are unacceptable. It was annoying for me, and what about the monkey? What I see on this short film is plain abuse!

@@arslibribookdesignandbookr8124 you have not seen actual abuse then. The chimps have a large three part enclosure with lots of enrichment and are getting an entirely new outdoor area this spring. I agree some parts do not look pretty to a human eye but apes do not care about this at all

Thank you for your sweet comment, Denise! I feel Senko grows more confident with every day that passes, even though he is in a tough place in his life right now, I'm sure when he reaches adulthood he'll be a confident and happy chimp ❤

@ I did notice that, but if he keeps grooming and getting closer to the Alpha and the older chimps, he may be ok. He was showing a lot of display. 🥰

@@denisemorris1177 Agreed, luckily it does seem like Nje likes him and will even share his food with him at times. Maybe him and Moku will let Senko join them when they display in the future. ☺

@ Let’s keep our fingers crossed 🤞.

Do they have a yard to play in or just these 2 rooms?​@apediaries

Svabba is very well respected by the ladies, it does seem Knaus' wants to take his position sometimes down the line, but he'll need to work on getting some more respect before he tries 😉

Thank you! Knaus can often make a lot of trouble at times making some of the ladies upset, but that is also exactly how he should be acting for his age! Since the group is small it does keep things "exciting" for the others, which helps keep their behavior more normal as they don't become too lazy.

Thank you! Completely agree, they're a wonderful group ❤

Thank you for your kind words, we're happy to have introduced you to the wonderful chimps in Copenhagen Zoo! 🤗

Ruti and Pal are put together as a couple, you could she is his lady, and he is her man 😉

Our camera equipment is a bit on the older side, we use a photo camera and a camcorder both from the early 2010s, which might give our videos an older look. The ape house also has an older design. Glad you enjoy the videos! ☺

He really is 🤣 Always making trouble, but he still has a heart of gold ❤

@apediaries I’m going to enjoy watching him .😆😆

She's simply the cutest! You just can't get enough of her ❤

Carl sadly passed away a few years ago 😢😢

Thank you so much for your kind words! A goal of ours have been to have the videos be both educational as well as entertaining, and a way for people to get to know some apes they might not already be familiar with! We're working on new videos, and hope to release a good chunk of them soon, hope you enjoy ❤

Agreed

The biggest boy in the jungle!

Exactly right! Normal chimp behavior may look "crazy" to us, but if people learned a little more about chimpanzees, their social dynamics and behavior, they'd understand and appreciate these fascinating animals more. Great job narrating the action and explaining what was happening.

@@pamcunningham9608 Glad you liked the video! 🤗We completely agree that people tend to lack knowledge of the chimpanzees' behavior, even when the chimps are just playing some people believe they are crazy and fighting 😅 We hope that our channel might be able to teach people more of the interesting chimpanzee behavior.
