1:01
Chimps: **aggressively fighting**
Primatologist: "Right, _chimps .... like .... to .... fight .... in .... trees._ Got it"
Whats funnier is that most of them have to do a 5 years master degree learning animal biology. Zoology etc. To finaly just note what they are doing 😂
Its recording social interaction like if one gets attacked will others help and wich ones
1:10 my little brother going to mom after I body slam him into my spongebob table

Instructions unclear.
They only threw poop at me.
That speaks volumes. So solly.

HOW DARE YOU INSULT OUR SAVIOR MONKE LIKE THAT

This comment is underrated
Hillarious
1:12 "dude they are coming for ya." "who!"
Hide the weed
Lol
This comment is so underrated. This made me laugh
If you listen closely you can hear the chimp make a little noise that sounds like he said: "who"
1:11 "bro this chick I know likes you"
😳 "WHO?!"
I love how theyre just boxing and shes just there taking notes
3:15 damn man nice moves
bruh
they’re training for the next random chimp event
@@Th3SkyF00gl3 I'm going to the random chimp event
So he gets all that booty but all I get when I do this is "Stop being a creep" and "I swear I'm gonna call security this time"...
Me in the club like
3:33 that is so damn human, the way he looks and sits down with his fruit, looks just like an old man
alex ojideagu chgf
Eren Jäger why would you call bible corrupt?about 2.1 billion people believe in thia religion.Also there are historical evidence for the stories in bible.
"Meh, I wanted a bit more"
1:10, when the other chimp whispers something in his ear, he shake he's head up and down, like saying: "I get you, go on", then appears surprised when screaming "oh!" or "who!" or "You don't say!!!".. seems human to me.
2012sandokan Regardless, it's still surprising to see.
When I was younger I asked my grandmother ''why can't animals talk like us?'', she told me that every single animal species speaks it's own language but most humans are too stupid to understand, they can't even understand everybody within their own species. Such literal yet allegorical words...I still remember them very clearly.
@Rory Spoons technology does not = being a good person... The point is most humans lose theirselves in power, greed and lust. The real danger with humans is that our technology can save anyone even the stupid people. There's also too many people; no species has ever destroyed their own planet just to have more babies like us.
@@LucidDreamn How do you want to know? Maybe there where millions of other species on other planets that wiped themselves out and we just didn't found out.
@@LucidDreamn lol ok vegan. So, these animals are better people than us for eating their own kind, their own babies, raping each other, abandoning babies etc ???
@@Ben-zh4nz you act like people dont do some of what u just said
You had a wonderfully sound grandmother.
1:15
When your friend tells you that a girl likes you
Huh
Mine has never
my wife needs to watch this so she can understand my non verbal communication, i'm pretty much a simple minded high functioning chimp.
Has anyone thought that the extraterrestrials are observing human-beings like this?
Yes, great comment
There's no such creature can have such great eyes to see us. Because as far as we know, THAT creature doesn't exist billions light years around us.
The zoo hypothesis in the fermi paradox...
Although this tends to be regarded as unrealistic
You know?
Tamon K I assume we must be taken from our home if that was true
1:44 looks like my dad
Cragscleft
LMAO
He IS your dad
Dude i think we have the same dad
Lol😂😂
Me too. except mine isn't black.
i'm supposed to be doing homework, but instead I've found myself watching a video of how chimps communicate...
You would be my child if I had one 😂
On the whole, you're probably better off.

Jessica Babs Did you pass your test?
Hey! This vid is informational right?😅
You are probably better off learning something new from this video than you are doing homework!
As humans, it is easy to communicate with other different language speakers using hand gestures, body communications and facial gestures. We do this at work every day with workmates of different nationalties with limited english, and there is full understanding. What most from our species of primates forget is, we actually do have a refined common language. If we are willing to respect each other. This video simply emphasises the obvious.
"They even perform actions that seem... all too human."
Literally spat my food out laughing at this bit
Wow BBC news it’s almost like they share like 99% of their DNA with us
2:46 trying to make your friend laugh in a straight face contest
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:28 he's like: 'Look! I only have one mango! Can I have two?'' while he's actually hiding the other one in his mouth, lol
very human

He is my brother 🎃

"When someone smiles at me, all I see is a chimpanzee begging for its life."
2:36 we can still see this behavior in drunk guys
when you wake up and your siblings ate all of the cereal 2:36
3:38 Chimp was like "WHAT ARE THOSE?!"
3:24 damn those biceps 💪🏻
Yoo when he gives you a punsh your head is gone
@xav ier actually they workout everyday by climbing on those trees.
@@gorilaogorila835 i think he means, work out like people does. Chimps climbing in trees is a natural workout for them.
Baby chimpanzee is strongest than adult bodybuilder what do you expect
Those biceps are designed to ripp your face off....
3:33
That monkey that's standing up looks like it's going "Man, what the hell are you doing?"
Come on man why you gotta ration the mangos all the time
That is the most human looking bit imo
This chimp roasting someone off screen
hes like "Why are you running? Why are you running???"
“Aye yoo bro pass me that damn fucking mango”
3:05 that other chimp was like “yo homie why you gotta do that sh*t around me? i told you about that.”
The camera's pointing at you, pretend to write something
It would be interesting to have two separate ape enclosures completely blocked off from one another and see how new gestures come up over time and how they differ from each other, simulation different languages stemming from two environments.
They would star warring with the other tribe. What would be interesting is a non fighting enclosure enforced by humans where apes of downy different groups have to learn to work together and communicate
Damn they are so ripped even the older ones. Arnold would be proud
If you lived in trees all day you would be ripped too, in multiple ways.
Arnold would get ripped apart. Chimpanzees have 7-10× the strength of an adult human male.

@@nathankrush3289 7-10???! Nopee 2-3 times at most
3:05 I cracked up.
I used to do the same when I was 7 😪
Imagine if they learn to speak once and we show them everything we learned about them and they’re like ‘that’s not what we do’ that would be quite awkward
They do speak just not human language
Wait till they discover the Geneva convention
i mean washoe and koko existed, they could somewhat communicate via modified sign language
@@Spiritual_AJ01, verbally, they don't "speak", they can only signal.
"Grooming which means: I am your friend and supporter."
Mini Ladd: Ah okay, so that is what it means.
1:12 "someone ate your cookies" "who"
0:55 : "AYE YO THEY ABOUT TO FIGHT"

GET THIS SHIT ON YA DOLLA STOR CAMRA

I was at the St. Louis zoo standing right by a chimp that was sitting right next to the glass. He looks up at me and we made eye contact and he nodded his head at me.
He approves you into their society
Chimp's on the thumbnail: Come human, return to monke
3:15 Oh no, Fortnite chimps!
Jokes asides, these studies are truly interesting and beautiful, it's a shame that I'm searching these only now
Lmao

You can never be prepared

"How to speak earthling"
I like when the playfull chimp grabbed his left back foot, the made me giggle alot. man, thats like the loveliest simple troll ever
I liked that Kip looked the camera like, "do you see what I have to deal with!?"
3:28 This gesture is too human. I laughed so much
They all have hemorrhoids lol
I was wondering about that. I was just unable to stop wondering "What is wrong with all of their anuses?"
Q Look it up, don't just jump to stress cuz cages. Most of the time, you'll get it wrong.
john max: no, no, those are their genuine natural rear ends. Not human-friendly, are they? Ugly. Also known as BUTT-ugly. I'd like to see them well-brushed and wearing PANTS.
EW LMAOOO
MicManGuy commenter’s profile pic should give you the answer.

Father Gabriel Stokes good job soldier!. Thank you for saving the community
Give them some shrooms then see what happen
+Steve Marlier Pass out joints to all of them. Guarantee they won't want to fight anymore, they would just sit around and chill.
pretty sure scientists did that in the fifties
give a few of them loaded .45s & see what happens.

Chimp 2: WHAT >:( !!?!
chimps: *AGGRESSIVELY ARGUE*

I love how they hold out their hand for food, LOL
looks like a bunch of poor people
It's the reason why they are famous on Instagram.

“How to speak chimpanzee”
Me: Yes
Man these chimps sound like my neighbourhood just people shouting screaming at each other
Thank you, TH-cam. Now I’m ready for random chimps event.
Looks like he's kicked that spot more than 100xs poor guy, he's frustrated.
He uses that as his, “ I’m not fooling here, you idiots! I WILL rip you a new one if I have to!” gesture board.
I wish we could talk to chimps, or at least figure out a way to communicate. Even if they aren't willing to have deep discussions about philosophy and space, even just them describing something would be awesome.
Yeah, I wanna know what they think about things =D
@@alexia3552 I want to know what they think about humans. Do they think they're smarter? Do they think they're more dominant? I know they're much stronger. I wanna know what they think though. Do they look at humans and think to themselves "that guy is a lot like me but that dog over there is uninteresting"?
@@ChristmasEve777 Chimps no doubt know that Humans are smarter, they know they are stronger than us
I think if gorillas can learn sign language, so can chimps
This video already explained to you what they're saying. Scientists like her are the ones developing sophisticated comprehension of animal communication
At 0:09 , the nod is like an old man saying “Yes” for more beer at a casino slot machine 😄
5 seconds in when you realize it isn’t David Attenborough and your trust in the narrator is waning by the second.

a little girl bit my finger once and laughed. she was just playing and she was cute so i tried to laugh it off but it felt like my finger almost popped off
Kids bite very hard idk why they're so aggressive

Exactly..
Very informative, we spend a lot of time at Twycross filming the chimps.
What an absolute waste of valuable resources. These useless apes should be euthanized.

Right? I can't stop staring at it.
Why did God not make me a monki?

Because you're white
I mean, we are apes along with chimpanzees. So you are monki, just with far more responsibilities than the other ones

Wow! Fascinating! This is why chimpanzees are my favorite! And this is why I’m writing my scientific research paper on them.
2:24 why did that boss kick the door lol
:D
+Akihiro Ito Display of dominance. It's very common in male Chimpanzees to make a lot of noise and try to make themselves look big to assert their dominance over a group.
+Danzilla1996 It's amazing how many people still do that.
My boss does
I'm sure that they do the same gesture with vending machines.
Chimps are so amazing...and they love mangoes, apparently, since that's what they're seen eating in this video. I mention this because I LOVE eating mangoes!
We're not so different after all!
