Baby chimpanzee, Fighting for breast milk with my sister. Karan Koe Yotsuba 

I know Sweatpea! I wish he was still around, he was absolutely one of a kind!

There was literally nothing "cute" about his behavior just as him being severely overweight wasn't "cute" either. It was disgusting and even as an adult, SP attempted to nurse from the females he could overpower while at the sanctuary...and I'm sure his gluttony and obesity played a part in his premature demise which came via a heart-attack. Popeye is at fault for that, however. She was a poor mother and honestly should've been sterilized. If she had been, the monstrosity known as SP wouldn't have ever existed. I'm sure that sounds harsh, but the fact that her failure to properly raise SP resulted in him having a short lifespan just makes me feel like it would've been better had he never even been brought into this world...and not only was he way too old to be nursing, not only was he obese, but he was also a spoiled brat that regularly bullied other juveniles hence why so many of the mothers avoided him and Popeye. They didn't want her chunky goose around their babies and I can't say that I blame them.

YES! Whoever thought it was okay to breed her THIS soon after having TWINS is just cruel. She's literally exhausted--can't even hold her baby up to the nipple most of the time.

I didn't see any of the kids getting any milk did you? I saw one trying and mom kicked her off.

The baby seems so weak.

I agree 1,000%

Muttermilchtrinken: In diesen Momenten die wichtigste Sache der Welt❤

I’ve always enjoyed it

There is no PERMISSION. Milk is for the BABY, not a jealous older brother. She's letting the older on steal all the baby's milk. That older shit has a mouth FULL of teeth and baby is so lethargic, she can't even climb up to the nipple--mom is not helping her up enough either. Something is CRITTICALY wrong and no one seems to give a shit.

😂😂😂😂

No, she's not. She's letting the older on steal all the baby's milk. That older shit has a mouth FULL of teeth and baby is so lethargic, she can't even climb up to the nipple--mom is not helping her up enough either. Something is CRITTICALY wrong and no one seems to give a shit.

Giving attention and letting them feed when they are OBVIOUSLY bit enough NOT to, is totally different. They should both be OFF the nipple -- it's the newborn's turn at the milk bar. Would you breastfeed a newborn and ALSO let you 5-year-old, as well? This is an overworked mother desperate to make everyone happy, NOT a good one.

@@forgottenquill7063 chimps in the wild breast feed up to a year, which.is usually.when mom gives birth again baby chimps learn everything from mom. They learn what foods to eat where the food is and what time of year it is ready. They learn how to.use tools like eating ants and termites and what tool to get them with. They learn how to crack nuts to eat the meat. They also learn what plants to eat when the feel sick. They learn this all from mom sitting there watching. They learn body language and facial expressions what pant hoots are and what they mean. They are not dependant on mom's milk but it is a good source.of protein..

@@forgottenquill7063 you make her sound like a human. I like how you put your human expectations on her like you wrote the book of when they ween their young. You obviously didn't see her kick the child off when she felt her start to suck. Why do you think the child is weary of attempting it??? Probably because she knows she's not supposed to and mom won't allow it if she feels her doing it??? Besides that 4-5 years is normal for weaning age.

Monkeys have infants. This little one behaves so much better during the weaning process than macaques do!

She shouldn't be feeding the almost grown one at all. It's obsessed with her teat. Not fair on the real baby, why isn't she admonishing it, it's infuriating. 😠

No, she's not. She's letting the older on steal all the baby's milk. That older shit has a mouth FULL of teeth and baby is so lethargic, she can't even climb up to the nipple--mom is not helping her up enough either. Something is CRITTICALY wrong and no one seems to give a shit.

I'm pretty sure the staff keeps an eye on them and will step in if baby has any issues

@@founderofthemenopausemafia9662 Baby is ALREADY is having issues. It's not even strong enough to pull itself up to the nipple. Older brother is a pathetic POS and is stealing all HER milk.

Thank you! Some people in here seem like experts on how chimps should behave and how they should be looked after.

How can you be so sure mom can’t produce enough milk for both? The amount of milk produced isn’t finite. The more babies nurse the more milk is produced. Mom will know when it’s time to wean her older baby so not to worry.

Lol ,she raised twins..and baby is big now and running around🙄

Monkeys have infants. Humans have babies or infants. I can tell you one thing, though. Chimp and gorilla infants behave much better during the weaning process than macaques do!

Thats exactly what I was thinking! Even if they nurse up to 5yrs old, you would think if another baby came along the older chimp would be made to stop nursing by the mother or the keepers. The bigger one has a mouth full of teeth and big enough to survive on solids

Human mothers do this too especially early on when there’s oversupply. We don’t know her situation here

Chimp infants will breast feed until 5 years in the wild. Mind your they eat other food but it is a great source of nutrients

It survived and normal and thriving .

I think the zookeepers are going to have to step in and do something, out of necessity, so the baby doesn't die. It wouldn't be so bad if she didn't have twins but the fact that she's weaning two monkeys, instead of one, means the baby is not getting nearly enough milk!

@@Gary-And-His-Demons she's not letting those kids steal the babies milk... the one was trying to be sneaky but mom kicked it off the teet. I don't know what you people were watching...???

They're more than annoying; they're pathetic pieces of shit--jealous of a baby. Whoever thought it was okay for the mother to breed THIS soon after having TWINS is just cruel.

Is ryu the daddy

Do you know ...I was thinking the same thing ,it looks a bit strange in the eyes as well as not trying to hang on to mum

It looks down syndrome to me

Maybe it’s blind.

She's fine, just young. In more current videos she's climbing around well.

@@whistlerwade thank you for the update.

I bet you were pretty slow at 1-2 weeks old also.

This exactly.

How would you know how much milk it's getting??? Do you think the keepers are oblivious to what you saw in a 5 min video and they work with them daily? Lol come on people That kid trying to be sneaky in the vid hit zero milk. Did you miss the part where mom kicked it off the teet and shewed it away????

NOT when a newborn is right there. That kid has a mouth FULL of teeth. Pathetic and creepy.

You have no way of knowing that. Either way, do YOU think it's normal to still breastfeed a THREE year old?

How can I get this animals for pets actually just to appease my hunger..i mean sometimes to cool down my anger on this annoying creatures.I'll feed them well and beat them to hell

@@forgottenquill7063 Actually it IS normal to still breastfeed a 3 year old. Chimps in the wild wean around 4 years or so. Humans, throughout our natural history, would wean between 3 and 5 years old, similar to chimps. In the wild a chimp mother perhaps wouldn't be having another baby so soon, but if she did, she'd probably wean the bigger kids sooner because of it. But basically, our modern conception that breastfeeding is exclusively only for infants is a relatively new and alien idea that does not comport with our evolutionary history, or the overall evolutionary history of the great apes. The early weaning practiced by humans today is a cultural advent made possible by advances in technology and nutrition. Certainly, it's a good thing that modern human mothers are not obligated to the role of continuous living milk bar, and I'm not advocating women today should breastfeed longer than whatever works best for them and their baby personally - but to suggest there's something abnormal about the longer breastfeeding is simply ahistorical.

No "slowly but surely". You give them an inch and they take a mile. If a human was still doing this, there is no WAY you'd condone it. Creepy.

@@forgottenquill7063 well humans don't typically nurse their babies to 5 yrs old, but guess what? Chimps do.

Kyoto has a handful world renown experts in primatology working w/ them, as they’re right by the university. So, there’s really nothing to worry about as far as her nutrition. I have to say, there is something inherently obnoxious about a juvenile tantruming as they’re weening. Not sure if that’s what you meant, haha… but it does drive me crazy, particularly when a new baby is in the picture. The twins just turned four, and while some chimps do nurse for some time after that benchmark, the girls are definitely past needing mother’s milk for any supplemental benefits. Chimp babies are infamous for their outbursts and brattiness during their this phase. There’s a short YT clip from Goodall, I believe, about it. I think it’s called chimpanzee sibling rivalry.

@@nimblebimble @Amy D Give the twins another year n sure enough they'll stop having breast milk. Kazumi always tries to distract them but she still can't control cos both twins still breast feed. They love mother's milk cos it's the best.

@@nimblebimble yeah I'm getting heavy Flint (the juvenile chimp you're referring to from the Goodall videos) vibes from the twins. He was around this age when Flame was born (Flo's last baby before she died), and he'd have the same temper tantrums when Flo would try to keep him from nursing.

@@non_serviam I was thinking about the two twins in the study-glow and glitter, I think-featured in the video on Goodall Foundation’s channel. But, yes, Flint. My God. His story should be used as a case study to teach human parents the dangers of overindulging children. His mom was too old to discipline him, he was coddled, spoiled, and he died because he couldn’t handle independence.

I'm sure they supplement their food, remember we are only seeing 8 minutes of their day

Lmao what? Doomed? Because a few chimps are late to be weaned? 😭😭😭😅🤣🤣

Wow dude calm down. It is normal for them to nurse 4-5 years and sometimes longer. And besides that, did you miss that part where mom kicked it off the teet and shewed it away??? How our world has effected our wildlife???? wtf 😂

No, she's not. She's letting the older on steal all the baby's milk. That older shit has a mouth FULL of teeth and baby is so lethargic, she can't even climb up to the nipple--mom is not helping her up enough either. Something is CRITTICALY wrong and no one seems to give a shit.

Maybe because her older brother is stealing all her milk

It must be cured with a 12 gauge to the brain

This is not a regular mother. This is a mother living in captivity. Two totally different things. This NOT normal. Do YOU think 3-year-olds should still be breastfed?

Yup
