Imagine if kanzi the bonobo wrote his owners name on that board and turned his head to her with a sinister smile. Just like koba done as he wrote Jacob on the board and turned his head round to Jacob giving him a sinister smile. In rise of the planet of the apes.
If u watch the videos of koko and her trainer, i don't see how they could have been fake. I whole heartedly believe she was genuinely communicating. Animals are capable of more than we give em credit for, look at those button boards dogs are "talking" with. They're even teaching COWS to use that shit, it's crazy
I’m all for animal companionship, but we really should be more careful with how we domesticate them. For example, floppy ears reduce hearing and are more prone to infections and parasites. Short faces can also be harmful as it hardens breathing. Color changes are not a problem. It would be for the best if we keep our furry friends as physically similar to their wild ancestors as possible while maintaining their human-friendly personalities.
Maybe the OUTRAGEOUS fees associated with nonresident hunting and the general overpricing of ammunition and firearms could have a certain degree of responsibility.
Vampire bats go by their own rules when it comes to their part in the animal kingdom. Instead of focusing on population control or expanding plant life, they focus more on the emotional connection and friendship aspect regarding what’s most beneficial to express companionship. I simply love them.
I absolutely would love to be in an MRI machine and have my brain scanned while viewing images of my 1st love who I have missed for 27 years 😢 we are friends- we now live far apart so we don't see eachother; my feelings don't care about this. No distance or time stops how I feel about him.
I’m not a primatologists or anything but I’m pretty sure chimps use hand signals and eye movement to communicate, so what I’m thinking if we’re desperate to find out if they can understand language why not analyze the way the communicate with each other, it’s kind of like an alien with much higher cognitive ability with a language with more dimensions than ours expecting us to understand concepts we’ve never heard of. Like if dropped a baby off in a troop of monkeys for 20 years it probably wouldn’t be able to learn English but it probably has communicated with the monkeys. Idk tho 🤷
