@ANGRY WRARRL I'm not sure. The other chimps I think would've reacted more if it was 100 percent aggressive, we dont know how he was raised before coming there. Maybe he was raised as a human or performer and exposed to music and dance. Plus it probably raises complex emotions. He likes the music, but has to be alpha, and he was close to the fence and the other chimps, so that could add to the tension as well. Seemed more like a frat bro listening to enya. He was 100 percent moved by it and hardly able to control his enjoyment of it, but he still had to make sure his Bros knew he was still a tough guy.
4:25 That chimp wasn't just clapping in time, he was putting the snare on the 3 and stamping his foot on the 1, which is the most intuitive beat for anything in 4/4 time. The fact he did that having probably never even heard music before is mind blowing.
@@brianlin5636 Yes very interesting. I imagine they could be taught to play music given enough patience. Who knows what they're truly capable of? We learn new things about animals all the time that blow our current estimation out the water. Like crows and octopus being able to solve complex multi step puzzles to get food....its amazing to think what we'll discover next.
Dancing is nothing to be taught, only to be perfected. Dancing has been around before homo sapiens sapiens and its not just exclusively primates. All animals can dance. Music is vibration and all living beings can feel it.
His name is Cozi, he was raised initially by humans and he's done that clapping routine for years. I used to watch him on their show, he was the coolest chimp there. Although most think he's displaying dominance, I don't, I think he's really just enjoying something different and maybe reminded him of when he was little raised with humans around. Very cool, he's still fun as hell to watch...
Given how the other chimps are bowed and looking down when he's close or even running away from him, I'm pretty sure he's the alpha. He's clearly not showing dominance here, he's just having fun and dancing to the music, but you can clearly see he's the alpha in that enclosure, he stands out anyway, all fluffy and all ^^
@@KayCypher he's always been like that. He was abused & beat over the head when he was really young so he's missing a few of his marbles which is why he stands out from the others. That behavior has gotten him chastised by an alpha before named Jai. But Cozi has always been my favorite
I loved the show Chimp Edens followed by Orangutan Island every morning on Animal Planet. Cozi was the greatest, I think he bit one of the staffers fingertip off. He had a female owner from Italy who he lived with in a trailer. That show is about 20 years old. Happy to see Cozi staying his crazy self.
@@TheShoegazer It was more like the chimp was trying to find the tempo, but he was slightly off so Dave slowed down a tiny bit, that chimp has a better bio-rhythm than most people haha
I was gonna say the same thing! You were slowing down and speeding up tryna fit the Big Mans vibe! This is SO COOL! I wanna play music for Monkeys! I just make dubstep and movie music🤣
Chimps clap as part of their dominance display. The same for standing upright, stamping, stone throwing (as this chimp did) and doing mock charges with raised fur. Males displaying also like to hit things and make a noise. The young dominant male in the group probably was not altogether sure if the human outside the fence was a threat because he was banging something and baring his teeth (what we call smiling). However he knew that there was a fence between them and the human was not moving so he contented himself with displaying. The other chimps did not apparently react since that could have started a free for all. You don't want to put yourself in the way of being noticed by a displaying male. That said however, the male chimp certainly indulged in rhythmic movements in time to the music and just like the fear grimace can indicate a laugh maybe the dominance display can mutate into a dance. After all, humans use dancing as a sexual/ dominance display
I absolutely thought it started as more of a dominance/ threat display, and then evolved (pun intended) into dancing and understanding of the music. Of course it kept elements of dominance throughout, which is why only the one dude got to dance, like Conan O"Brien on the Simpsons. But that chimp absolutely understands rhythm, and overall it seemed like a cross between a Haka and a grade 9 school dance.
He was clapping to be louder and to intimidate. And he wasn’t “dancing”, he was doing a pretty typical male intimidation technique and was clearly agitated. Has that fence not been there he would have ripped the guy apart. Chimps are very territorial and can be aggressive.
@@manicmamc291 There was some territorial behavior displayed, manly at the begining though, if he realy wanted to scare the guy off, he would have presentet his teeth directly to him, jumped directly towards him repeatedly and made the distinctive noise, this seems to be slight aggression than transitioned into playfull behaivior.
@@manicmamc291 Chimps dance to music: "In humans, listening to music induces rhythmic movement, suggesting a close connection between the auditory and motor areas in the brain. Sound also induces rhythmic swaying in chimpanzees. Male chimpanzees are more responsive to sound than female chimpanzees, consistent with previous research on acoustic communication in their patriarchal societies. We also found an effect of beat tempo on movement periodicity and tendency to seek the sound. These results suggest that prerequisites for music and dance are deeply rooted and existed in the common ancestor shared by humans and chimpanzees, approximately 6 million years ago." Hattori, Y. & Tomonaga, M. 2019. Rhythmic swaying induced by sound in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1910318116
if you noticed, he was matching the beat exactly, then he started going faster, slowly... verry slowly. i think the fella was actually trying to influence the musician and make him qlay fasterr. lol
No, that is actually aggressive behavior for chimpanzees. The ape is literally trying to threaten and scare the guy in the video, and he is too stupid to realize that.
At 1st I thought it was just a dominance display but that 1 chimp is actually moving in time & rhythm w/ the music, even repeatedly clapping in time at different points. Simply incredible.
@@YourMomPussStink *you're* .... Otherwise you are speaking of possession. Which would indicate Keaqa n owns you and that you are stupid. So it doesn't really get your point across as you intend.
The Alpha was sitting down and was the one yawning, the one “dancing/ displaying is a castrated male with brain damage from the previous owner who would beat him around the head.
Well either the Chimp was intentionally clapping to the, or the clapping coincedentally matched the tempo. I guess it depends what you consider more likely.
@Kirby Gillespie Agreed, but I've also seen videos of dolphins and parrots singing and dancing on the beat, so it's more than one species that can do this. Which, if anything, is even more mindblowing.
So interesting that one chimp responded exactly the same as a music loving human would and the others were not that bothered really, I would be intrigued to see if they responded to different music after all we humans have our preferences.
I’m guessing that was the boss. Usually they all seem to hesitate and wait to see what the boss says. Is it okay ? Is it safe? And I think the boss got so into the flow and the jam he forgot to let them know it’s all good lol
Hes probs the alpha, and probs the only one ain the group allowed to move like that. otherwise its wa threat to dominance. as far as my chimp languge serves me. But he speaks for the otheres in doin so.
Only the alpha male responded by the way... Jokes on you but I wonder if there was no gate how long before the chimps would have rip that guy in pieces for being locked in a jail like this... totally inhuman
I bet that is one of the most amazing things to experience him dancing and clapping with all that force and agility and then to clap on beat is a beautiful thing! I love this chimps are amazing!
Krista Gonzalez Widner Yes it was mind blowing and truely a miracle to capture this then to share it with the world. Yes more coming from plus more music. Take a browse. I have other animal videos
Music affects all God's creatures, the vibrations, tone, vibrations stimulate us all in some way. Amazing video, absolutely LOVED IT💯‼️❣️Got caught up in the tempo beat with the Chimps🐵🐒🦍
@@Mrrolythepoly he was heavily featured on a show called Escape to Chimp Eden that aired on Animal Planet in the late 2000’s. Cozy was severely beaten as infant before he arrived at the sanctuary which caused a lot of mental damage to him and lead him to do a few unusual chimp behaviors like smiling (smiling is usually a sign of fear or aggression, but Cozy has smiled as a sign of happiness before).
They have done that experiment on plants where they play them different music to see how they responded. Heavy metal ended up killing them and classical had them grow really well
First of all, let's not ignore the talent of this gentleman. Second, being in the presence of chimps is a truly remarkable experience, especially when they are directly engaged with you. ❤❤❤
Adult males, especially high ranking males, seem to respond like the big guy in this video. Clapping, drumming, and dancing, similar to when they display in the wild drumming on trees and pulling vegetation. But this seems deeper neurologically. I bet that chimp was having reactions in his brain he'd never had before bringing new unfelt emotions as an adult. That's gotta be intense!
Apparently his name is Cozy and he has brain damage and was castrated, from the abuse he suffered by the original owner. From another comment the Alpha is the one that sat until near the end and then yawned.
no one knows what the chimps are thinking or why they react the way they do....fair to assume he is reacting to the music cause we can see that...but why....is another story
@@jadezee6316 Maybe he simply was enjoying it? He showed no signs of aggression & seemed to really enjoy the experience! Clapping & even dancing to the music.. The video says it all! Our nearest cousins, enjoy music.. Well, at least some of them! 🙂
That was beautiful!!! The one chimp definitely found his/her rhythm. The rest were sitting and enjoying the concert. Beautiful! Music is universal and sooo healing. They really enjoyed and appreciated it! 💜
I cannot believe my eyes! He is clearly expressing music with his body. It's amazing to watch his dance evolves as he's moves are getting more complex and he is adding new ones to this choreography. Moving in rhythm, clapping and dancing at the same time... He's just too good! And obviously the most musical one there 😁 I love the expression on his face - tongue stuck out of the mouth is a clear sign of concentration!
Lol you may actually be on to something with this, coming from a fully functioning alcoholic intellectual 🤣 I think we need more of this primal essence without the poison of alcohol. Wonder how? Lol mushrooms and marijuana is my best guess tbh
Funny enough, I was just reading a study that showed that black people, like the ones in the video, have a much harder time understanding polyphonic instruments. They can keep a beat, yes, but melody eludes them. That's why they sample and loop to create their "raps" which are not technically music to begin with.
This is the only video I found of chimps having music played to them. All these years of "research" and nobody thought to give them music till now? Seriously? wtf is wrong with people....
undeadpresident Thanks for your support and perfectly stated comment!! I agree with you totaly. This was a miracle captured and I knew it. I felt spirit guide me to edit this video part to put on TH-cam this is the 2nd capture the first part is here also I will be doing more videos like this all over the planet fir I have been doing this since a young kid!! Browse my other videos and you will see magic. If you like the music go to iTunes and explore my produced music from my hand pan instrument. Tribal tree music from love star records ohhhh I wrote a song about this experience with the chimps. It's on TH-cam. It's channeled from spirit also like visions and dreams. Blessings
Given the abilities that our other primates have for using tools, I'm wondering if they would enjoy making music. Maybe chimes , or percussion instruments,, Pentatonic scales etc..
@@davenorwoods8160 What a wonderful view into the heart of a chimp. He was definitely enjoying the music and moving to the rhythm -- and why not??? It's sad that so many humans deny the intellectual capacity and emotional sensitivity of other animals. Kudos to you for giving them the chance to hear and enjoy the music. Wonderful mental enrichment for them, and striking evidence that they have the same reactions to music and rhythm that we do. Shame on the naysayers!
Half the commenters here would be ripped to shreds in under a minute if ever they found themselves amongst a group of chimps. "Oh look, he's smiling and clapping, that means he's happy!"
While I wouldn't want to be on the other side of that fence with the chimps, and do understand that their smiling means that they're scared, I do think that since the chimp was rocking and clapping in rhythm that he was enjoying the music. All the smarter animals have the ability to enjoy music. Even dogs do. Though studies show dogs prefer classical music.
Chimps are one of the more aggressive species of modern day apes but I truly doubt they would have harmed him as chimps and most apes only attack when provoked and rarely kill unless they are fighting for their life. Travis the chimpanzee is what most people refer to when saying chimpanzees are killers. Except Travis was a special case as he was obese and depressed since he was never exposed to others of his own species, and on top of that he had prescribed anti depressants which are known to result in violent outbursts and mood swings. These symptoms are also shown in humans who are prescribed with similar medications. So if anything I would say Travis was a tragic case as he was driven to insanity and most chimpanzees are never this violent when on a reserve or in the wild. Gorillas have this common misconception as well which is even more far fetched since there has never been a single account of a gorilla killing a human ever, in captivity, on a reserve, or in the wild.
@@Mechaghostman2 No animal would ever be able to survive with that kind of behavior. These creatures aren't just beefed up fire ants, they are very intelligent, an they know their actions have consequences. No intelligent animal would ever try killing every moving thing they see. If you mean that they work like a pack of wolves I would have to disagree with that as well. While all social animals do have something similar to a pack instinct, the social structure and coordination of chimpanzees do not rely on immediately being vicious when being faced with something perceived as a threat. This goes directly against their evolutionary path as chimpanzees have evolved to climb and evade said threats, instead of attack said threats. If they were to fill this role in the environment they would be the modern day equivalent of sub-Saharan leopards and even leopards are more intelligent and cunning than the animals you describe as chimpanzees.
Imagine all the synapses that are suddenly firing in his brain for the first time. Now for the real experiment, give him the instrument and a some psilocybin.
That is so strange how none of the other chimps had any response to it at all really, but that one chimp had like a MEGA response. He's completely dancing. There is no other explanation I can see. He understands the music, he likes it, and he's dancing to it. He also seems really aggressive, dominant. I wonder if that has something to do with it.
Apparently one of the top comments mentioned that it was due to that one chimp being the alpha of the group in which any other chimp acting out would cause the alpha to go after the other one as act of defiance.
Because he is the alpha male and started his display of threats (bristling, clapping, swaying back and forth) to try to protect his pack from the human intruders.
Lol I think it's called a hang drum. I'm not sure though. They're one of the cheaper instruments you can buy on Amazon, but I think they sound awesome.
Ok, once he finally started clapping in perfect rhythm, it was proof that some subset of mammals in general can feel music, not just humans. We have so much evidence now esp. with elephants and cows who run to listen to music and then dance and otherwise squeal with excitement when musicians come to play for them. But clapping in time to the music??? That's fantastic evidence I'm not sure has even been documented scientifically before.
Think you are correct. I'm the first to capture live a chimp to clap in time. It was truely a miracle this is break through evidence of cognitive emotional coherence yes animals have more itelligence then people know. Follow me as I trek the world doing more videos plus with my music. Yes this was a experiment get ready for better stuff. Enjoy
I doubt anyone will take this seriously... but I used to date a girl who's dog would lie at my feet and pant in time to me playing guitar. At first I thought it was a coincidence... so I would stop suddenly and he would also stop and pause.... if I didn't start playing after a few seconds he would breath normally again. If I started paying he would pant in time again. I've never heard of another dog doing this - it was a cross breed, part collie, so a smart dog, with a lot of anxiety. Music seemed to calm him.
Definitively, without an ounce of a doubt, we assist here to an improvised dance, and a wonderful interaction between man and apes : Bravissimo and thank you for sharing !
It was certainly a dominance display it was absolutely no doubt about it especially at the end but he chased the other shapes and when you see all the other chimps are all in submissive postures. When rival chimps try to take over a pack they make a lot of noise. He definitely wasn't dancing despite being R&B every once in a while when they clap their hands like that that's an aggressive display.
Yeah. It's definitely a dominance display. The animals that sat calmly were the only ones that enjoyed it. There's always one asshole in a group to ruin it for everybody. 🤣
Tongues out. Sign of happiness. 😛 That boy was feeling it and getting his groove on! 😊 The power of music!! 💖 He even chased off thecone that messed up his groove! 😝 I don't know shit about monkeys or apes, truthfully. But it's a nicer thought to imagine he was just enjoying himself. The world needs a whole lot more of that right now. 🙏Especially here in the US. 😷😓
fascinating. inspiring project that might change the popular opinion of chimp behavior. starting @ 4:27, for me, the chimp is clearly moving to the rhythm. killer when she starts clapping her hands. Thanks for perhaps changing mindsets about another facet of chimps behavior that contradicts the norm. would be cool if Jane Goodall weighed in on this.
top secret Thanks fir your supporting comment. It's true history in the making for I will be producing so much more around the world yes I'm still waiting to see if Jane will say something?? Plus I wrote a song about the experience and the chimps. Take a listen on my page here on TH-cam. Blessings
@@davenorwoods8160 dude.that was a Male chimp aggressive display, straight up! If he was enjoying it so much then why was one of the women that works there with them trying to soothe him by reassuring him and kept telling him "shhh...its ok" and such? Your music is cool and some primates and some chimps do enjoy and react in a very positive way to music (you really were not the first person to ever think of this) but the reality was that this particular male did not respond in a positive way for whatever reason and while he is demonstrating a typical aggressive reaction you are looking over at the camera grinning like a fool thinking he is dancing and clapping..he is not a human and i can guarantee you that anyone that worked there with them had to have told you that was aggression. That is just as misleading and damaging as people who dress them in clothing and and do shit to make them "smile" and then look around at everyone and says "see he likes it, he is smiling"!
@@carnagekasady1743 actually seeing how the guy I was talking to has since deleted his post you have no idea if I had a good reason to speak to him that way or not! He was a rude jerk
This must be the 10th time I have watched this video and I never grow tired of it. I wonder what it reminds him of ? He really dances so well!! I love this video and I'm sure I will watch it again. I love my cousins more than some of my real ones.
Hendrika Sunqrout hello Hendricka. I'm glad you like the video I love it also and more coming as I travel the world doing more if this. Explore my channel for I lots of other animal sound experiments plus my music links are in this videos description. Thanks fir your support Cheers
Not only was he clapping in rythm, but also, and what may let people believe he was not, he was adapting to the changing rythm on the fly... The gentleman on the handpan made it kinda difficult for the chimp by changing rythms quite rapidly at some point, and the chimp adapted very quickly, it is surreal ... awesome.
Awesome how many views you're getting. It's funny that you have less than a dozen chimps checking you out and then thousands of curious humans checking out the chimps. Keep it up buddy.
omg, that chimp was rockin', right from the beginning! The clapping and the expressions on his face, with that tongue and his fabulous rhythm! 😍😍😍 That guy should have music as part of his enrichment!
Steven Hair I do not think so. Not many humans ever become proficient musicians. This ape works primarily off on dominance. To learn most things you must subordinate yourself. There probably is an ape somewhere who could learn to master simple instruments but not him. If he had been taught before testosterone kicked in maybe.
I could just as easily be that the drummer is watching his movement and trying to match the timing. not to trick us but just because it's interesting. but I don't rule out posturing.
If you watch it a few times, you'll notice the player is changing the tempo to try and match the clapping. The baring of teeth, making himself large, and swaying/clapping is posturing for sure. I think sometimes people try to apply human like mindsets and characteristics to animals.
Even the ones who first worried, came to calm down, released their previous stress with a good calming yawn. Just vibes on with all the sounds in confidence. You got to make music with another ape. Incredible.
HOW CUTE!! You got a VERY attentive audience from the group, and a standing ovation and clapping (more than once) from that appreciative dancer with musicality ... "HEEEEYYY, 'World of Dance,' 'Dancing With the Stars,' & 'So You Think You Can Dance' HERE I AM, and I KNOW I can dance." (Such a talented one, and you even got a SMILE!)
Phore Whoresman Normally, similar behavior too the alphas would be a display of dimanance, and at occasions it is during the video, otherwise he just seems excited. He'd be moving around a lot more and be more vocal if he was angry.
Rally Boyd ... He may not have been working there, but I would think, that anyone interacting with the chimps (like this) would have needed approval &/or would have been monitored by the people in charge of the place. At the very least, I think that the staff would have been aware of his presence, and of what he was doing. I do not think that the staff would have wanted any negative reaction &/or response to have been generated by such an interaction with a human (ie., the staff wants "happy campers," if possible).
Faye Brown -- I can so relate to that "dominant" alpha male (or whatever they call him). That chimp going wild to the sound of music is basically me dancing to any of the cool beats!
@Smack I'm not trying to be mean. I just think animals are very interesting but I want to appreciate them as objectively as possible so I apply some skepticism to the situation since it's easy to get carried away. I wanna see animals dance too but I want to know that they are for sure dancing

@ANGRY WRARRL I'm not sure. The other chimps I think would've reacted more if it was 100 percent aggressive, we dont know how he was raised before coming there.

"In humans, listening to music induces rhythmic movement, suggesting a close connection between the auditory and motor areas in the brain. Sound also induces rhythmic swaying in chimpanzees. Male chimpanzees are more responsive to sound than female chimpanzees, consistent with previous research on acoustic communication in their patriarchal societies. We also found an effect of beat tempo on movement periodicity and tendency to seek the sound. These results suggest that prerequisites for music and dance are deeply rooted and existed in the common ancestor shared by humans and chimpanzees, approximately 6 million years ago."

if you noticed, he was matching the beat exactly, then he started going faster, slowly... verry slowly. i think the fella was actually trying to influence the musician and make him qlay fasterr. lol
3:00 he wasn't feeling the other melodies, but this one touched his soul.
He's straight vibing
He's like Ooh Wii that's my jam right there I'm feeling it I'm feeling it

They may be in captivity, but those dance moves are wild
uhhhh, he do be vibin doe...

Haven't you noticed how much human male dance is competing and asserting dominance?

epSos.de yes and like a human fighting when someone is looking too long at you 6:37

That ape is dancing, clapping, and shaking, like a human would react to music! That's AMAZING!
Basically the ape is at a boiler room party.
I mean we do share 97% of our dna. We homo sapiens have relgions and wars and so do they. The only difference is they are just hitting the stone age.
That's actually aggressive behavior
No, that is actually aggressive behavior for chimpanzees. The ape is literally trying to threaten and scare the guy in the video, and he is too stupid to realize that.

At 1st I thought it was just a dominance display but that 1 chimp is actually moving in time & rhythm w/ the music, even repeatedly clapping in time at different points. Simply incredible.

4:25 is it just me or was he understanding the concept of a beat? That’s amazing
Well either the Chimp was intentionally clapping to the, or the clapping coincedentally matched the tempo. I guess it depends what you consider more likely.
Well, he had a sense of the stronger beat. But I highly doubt he undestands the concept of tempo
I suppose every mammal is ingrained with the concept of beat, as per mamma's heartbeat.
@Kirby Gillespie Agreed, but I've also seen videos of dolphins and parrots singing and dancing on the beat, so it's more than one species that can do this. Which, if anything, is even more mindblowing.
Around 3:52 his swaying is even perfect. He flips his hand up when the beat dings.
So interesting that one chimp responded exactly the same as a music loving human would and the others were not that bothered really, I would be intrigued to see if they responded to different music after all we humans have our preferences.
Shirley Porter I’m curious about that as well. That was the question that was in my mind watching the different reactions
I’m guessing that was the boss. Usually they all seem to hesitate and wait to see what the boss says. Is it okay ? Is it safe? And I think the boss got so into the flow and the jam he forgot to let them know it’s all good lol
Hes probs the alpha, and probs the only one ain the group allowed to move like that. otherwise its wa threat to dominance. as far as my chimp languge serves me. But he speaks for the otheres in doin so.
Only the alpha male responded by the way...
Jokes on you but I wonder if there was no gate how long before the chimps would have rip that guy in pieces for being locked in a jail like this... totally inhuman
Did you see his smile when the camera got close the first time haha
for some moments, his eyes had the spark, of questioning, reasoning, past, future present, we are living beings.

@@Mrrolythepoly he was heavily featured on a show called Escape to Chimp Eden that aired on Animal Planet in the late 2000’s.

First of all, let's not ignore the talent of this gentleman. Second, being in the presence of chimps is a truly remarkable experience, especially when they are directly engaged with you. ❤❤❤
Adult males, especially high ranking males, seem to respond like the big guy in this video. Clapping, drumming, and dancing, similar to when they display in the wild drumming on trees and pulling vegetation. But this seems deeper neurologically. I bet that chimp was having reactions in his brain he'd never had before bringing new unfelt emotions as an adult. That's gotta be intense!
Drug Induced Fever dream You are absolutely correct. Good message. Cheers
Apparently his name is Cozy and he has brain damage and was castrated, from the abuse he suffered by the original owner. From another comment the Alpha is the one that sat until near the end and then yawned.
Check out my response. Love your observing nature!!
no one knows what the chimps are thinking or why they react the way they do....fair to assume he is reacting to the music cause we can see that...but why....is another story
@@jadezee6316 Maybe he simply was enjoying it? He showed no signs of aggression & seemed to really enjoy the experience! Clapping & even dancing to the music.. The video says it all! Our nearest cousins, enjoy music.. Well, at least some of them! 🙂

I cannot believe my eyes!
He is clearly expressing music with his body.
It's amazing to watch his dance evolves as he's moves are getting more complex and he is adding new ones to this choreography.
Moving in rhythm, clapping and dancing at the same time... He's just too good! And obviously the most musical one there 😁

Oramg Utan can saw a wood tho.
What if he gave then one while keeping one for himself and show them step by step
Funny enough, I was just reading a study that showed that black people, like the ones in the video, have a much harder time understanding polyphonic instruments. They can keep a beat, yes, but melody eludes them. That's why they sample and loop to create their "raps" which are not technically music to begin with.
No it's true. I can link you the study if you're curious.
Me too, but I think we all know he would never get it back :)
He's jamming out to this guy's music for real 😂 I'm blown away by the way he held tempo when he clapped
This is the only video I found of chimps having music played to them. All these years of "research" and nobody thought to give them music till now? Seriously? wtf is wrong with people....

Nature creates it's own music. They already have their own form of music just like how we have ours.
@@davenorwoods8160 more and more and more
Given the abilities that our other primates have for using tools, I'm wondering if they would enjoy making music. Maybe chimes , or percussion instruments,, Pentatonic scales etc..
@@davenorwoods8160 What a wonderful view into the heart of a chimp. He was definitely enjoying the music and moving to the rhythm -- and why not??? It's sad that so many humans deny the intellectual capacity and emotional sensitivity of other animals. Kudos to you for giving them the chance to hear and enjoy the music. Wonderful mental enrichment for them, and striking evidence that they have the same reactions to music and rhythm that we do. Shame on the naysayers!

Half the commenters here would be ripped to shreds in under a minute if ever they found themselves amongst a group of chimps. "Oh look, he's smiling and clapping, that means he's happy!"
Showing his teeth and trying to scare the outsider away*
But in acctuality chimps can be super aggressive.
While I wouldn't want to be on the other side of that fence with the chimps, and do understand that their smiling means that they're scared, I do think that since the chimp was rocking and clapping in rhythm that he was enjoying the music. All the smarter animals have the ability to enjoy music. Even dogs do. Though studies show dogs prefer classical music.
Chimps are one of the more aggressive species of modern day apes but I truly doubt they would have harmed him as chimps and most apes only attack when provoked and rarely kill unless they are fighting for their life. Travis the chimpanzee is what most people refer to when saying chimpanzees are killers. Except Travis was a special case as he was obese and depressed since he was never exposed to others of his own species, and on top of that he had prescribed anti depressants which are known to result in violent outbursts and mood swings. These symptoms are also shown in humans who are prescribed with similar medications. So if anything I would say Travis was a tragic case as he was driven to insanity and most chimpanzees are never this violent when on a reserve or in the wild. Gorillas have this common misconception as well which is even more far fetched since there has never been a single account of a gorilla killing a human ever, in captivity, on a reserve, or in the wild.
@@c0l1n_m45
Go to an island inhabited by Chimps. Instantly you'll get greeted and attacked by them. They're very territorial creatures.
@@Mechaghostman2 No animal would ever be able to survive with that kind of behavior. These creatures aren't just beefed up fire ants, they are very intelligent, an they know their actions have consequences. No intelligent animal would ever try killing every moving thing they see. If you mean that they work like a pack of wolves I would have to disagree with that as well. While all social animals do have something similar to a pack instinct, the social structure and coordination of chimpanzees do not rely on immediately being vicious when being faced with something perceived as a threat. This goes directly against their evolutionary path as chimpanzees have evolved to climb and evade said threats, instead of attack said threats. If they were to fill this role in the environment they would be the modern day equivalent of sub-Saharan leopards and even leopards are more intelligent and cunning than the animals you describe as chimpanzees.
Imagine all the synapses that are suddenly firing in his brain for the first time.
Now for the real experiment, give him the instrument and a some psilocybin.
You're being ridiculous.
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING. For all we know one trip could turn him completely conscious.
Red Illusion howd that work on your pet cat?
@@AldousHuxley7 my cat wrote a symphony
He'll sound just like any other indie artist.
That is so strange how none of the other chimps had any response to it at all really, but that one chimp had like a MEGA response. He's completely dancing. There is no other explanation I can see. He understands the music, he likes it, and he's dancing to it. He also seems really aggressive, dominant. I wonder if that has something to do with it.
Or maybe he felt it differently than the other chimps or maybe because the camera was there. Who knows.
His vibe was so strong the others couldnt compete
Will.J maybe you could say he is a Dance Monkey
Apparently one of the top comments mentioned that it was due to that one chimp being the alpha of the group in which any other chimp acting out would cause the alpha to go after the other one as act of defiance.
Because he is the alpha male and started his display of threats (bristling, clapping, swaying back and forth) to try to protect his pack from the human intruders.
That’s amazing! Not only dancing to the music but starts clapping along as well.
The other chimps are saying , see he's been on the fermented mangos since one o'clock. I told you this would happen!
fermented fruits 😂😂😂 swear I never knew about this till recently
HAHAHAHAHA
Too funny... but I hear that happens with some primates and other animals
I thought this was gonna suck, I thought you were using a bbq grill lid as the musical instrument... then it turned out to rock!

Lol I think it's called a hang drum. I'm not sure though. They're one of the cheaper instruments you can buy on Amazon, but I think they sound awesome.
It is a hang drum.
Well, if you don't get them on Amazon, they're thousands of dollars....
its a hand pan.
Ok, once he finally started clapping in perfect rhythm, it was proof that some subset of mammals in general can feel music, not just humans. We have so much evidence now esp. with elephants and cows who run to listen to music and then dance and otherwise squeal with excitement when musicians come to play for them. But clapping in time to the music??? That's fantastic evidence I'm not sure has even been documented scientifically before.
Think you are correct. I'm the first to capture live a chimp to clap in time. It was truely a miracle this is break through evidence of cognitive emotional coherence yes animals have more itelligence then people know. Follow me as I trek the world doing more videos plus with my music. Yes this was a experiment get ready for better stuff. Enjoy
I feel like the person playing the music was also trying to match the chimps clapping
Micah Beats yes you are correct. I was trying to share with him to add to his feelings like therapy
I doubt anyone will take this seriously... but I used to date a girl who's dog would lie at my feet and pant in time to me playing guitar. At first I thought it was a coincidence... so I would stop suddenly and he would also stop and pause.... if I didn't start playing after a few seconds he would breath normally again. If I started paying he would pant in time again. I've never heard of another dog doing this - it was a cross breed, part collie, so a smart dog, with a lot of anxiety. Music seemed to calm him.
Think Wow I love it. Great story. I would love to see that dog. There's so many amazing animal stories I have lots more Keep the magic flowing. Cheers

Actually insane how musical that one chimp is! Wow. Crazy to see
I'm interested to know if the ape was actually dancing or trying to be territorial
It was certainly a dominance display it was absolutely no doubt about it especially at the end but he chased the other shapes and when you see all the other chimps are all in submissive postures.
When rival chimps try to take over a pack they make a lot of noise.
He definitely wasn't dancing despite being R&B every once in a while when they clap their hands like that that's an aggressive display.
Yeah. It's definitely a dominance display. The animals that sat calmly were the only ones that enjoyed it. There's always one asshole in a group to ruin it for everybody. 🤣
Tongues out. Sign of happiness. 😛 That boy was feeling it and getting his groove on! 😊 The power of music!! 💖 He even chased off thecone that messed up his groove! 😝 I don't know shit about monkeys or apes, truthfully.

Your music is cool and some primates and some chimps do enjoy and react in a very positive way to music (you really were not the first person to ever think of this) but the reality was that this particular male did not respond in a positive way for whatever reason and while he is demonstrating a typical aggressive reaction you are looking over at the camera grinning like a fool thinking he is dancing and clapping..he is not a human and i can guarantee you that anyone that worked there with them had to have told you that was aggression.

Its a form of intimidation, if the fence wasn't there the chimp would have probably ripped her appart
Not only was he clapping in rythm, but also, and what may let people believe he was not, he was adapting to the changing rythm on the fly... The gentleman on the handpan made it kinda difficult for the chimp by changing rythms quite rapidly at some point, and the chimp adapted very quickly, it is surreal ... awesome.
This is truly amazing..He feels the rhythm and has it spot on with the swaying and hand claps..Love it...😊🤗

Everybody gangsta till the Chimp pulls out his pair of bongos and starts playing along too.
Perhaps the people thinking he is just posturing do not understand rhythm. Some of us clapping is on beat!. His swaying is also rhythmic.
Steven Hair I do not think so. Not many humans ever become proficient musicians. This ape works primarily off on dominance. To learn most things you must subordinate yourself. There probably is an ape somewhere who could learn to master simple instruments but not him. If he had been taught before testosterone kicked in maybe.
I could just as easily be that the drummer is watching his movement and trying to match the timing. not to trick us but just because it's interesting. but I don't rule out posturing.
If he can visually match the drummer why should he not be able to hear the beat and clap to it?!...
If you watch it a few times, you'll notice the player is changing the tempo to try and match the clapping. The baring of teeth, making himself large, and swaying/clapping is posturing for sure. I think sometimes people try to apply human like mindsets and characteristics to animals.
Humans are animals. I think sometimes people find it hard to apply an animal like mindset to humans ;)
Even the ones who first worried, came to calm down, released their previous stress with a good calming yawn. Just vibes on with all the sounds in confidence. You got to make music with another ape. Incredible.
Imagine for a second, the player in the cage and the audience outside! This is some "Planet of the Appes" sh*t :)
HOW CUTE!! You got a VERY attentive audience from the group, and a standing ovation and clapping (more than once) from that appreciative dancer with musicality ... "HEEEEYYY, 'World of Dance,' 'Dancing With the Stars,' & 'So You Think You Can Dance' HERE I AM, and I KNOW I can dance." (Such a talented one, and you even got a SMILE!)
Faye Brown ....uh no, a display of agitation and dominance. He is protecting his group and territory.
Phore Whoresman Normally, similar behavior too the alphas would be a display of dimanance, and at occasions it is during the video, otherwise he just seems excited. He'd be moving around a lot more and be more vocal if he was angry.
Faye Brown he doesn’t work there though. He’s a musician.
Rally Boyd ... He may not have been working there, but I would think, that anyone interacting with the chimps (like this) would have needed approval &/or would have been monitored by the people in charge of the place. At the very least, I think that the staff would have been aware of his presence, and of what he was doing. I do not think that the staff would have wanted any negative reaction &/or response to have been generated by such an interaction with a human (ie., the staff wants "happy campers," if possible).
Faye Brown -- I can so relate to that "dominant" alpha male (or whatever they call him). That chimp going wild to the sound of music is basically me dancing to any of the cool beats!
Thank you nice to see Cozy again.
Music is such a healing and pleasant way for bridging the gap
When the chimp with hella character starts clapping along to the song. Now that put me in a good mood
Wow. That one chimp clearly has a sense of rhythm.
Not necessarily, it wasn't on neat most if the time, it's just our human minds trying to make patterns fit into each other despite the facts.
The guy playing is trying to match his pulse
@Smack I'm not trying to be mean. I just think animals are very interesting but I want to appreciate them as objectively as possible so I apply some skepticism to the situation since it's easy to get carried away. I wanna see animals dance too but I want to know that they are for sure dancing
I honestly think that music heals the mind & spirit. They should be given some time of music on a daily basis
That was amazing....it's crazy how much chimps understand.
even chimps know that you should clap on 2 and 4
That made me happy as a fellow musician
