For those wondering about this footage, if you search out information on Kanzi by name, you'll find he does do things like this regularly, also makes small tools and plays PacMan. He was brought up around humans and has a large vocabulary of pictograms that he uses to communicate. He truly is that amazing.

@EarlSmith2469 Год назад

Kanzi is cool. I can't stand pan troglodytes but he's a bonobo bonobos are cool as hell. He attacked Sue's boss Sue's boss was yelling at her and berating her and kanzi saw it he told one of the researchers that the researcher needed to bite Sue's boss. The researcher refused. Kanzi then told him that kanzi himself is going to bite her boss. They didn't take it seriously. At the end of the day, kanzi went into her boss's office and bit the shit out of him. Sue had gotten fired later on no one really knows why but I know that kanzi biting her boss didn't help things

@@EarlSmith2469they handled this so poorly. I was curious about what happened to Teco (Kanzi’s son). A fourth gen bonobo raised in captivity - had a lot of potential. But the one video of him I found on RU-vid was depressing. I have a suspicion that things went downhill rapidly after they fired Sue. When pushing boundaries, you really need people with a belief so strong that they seem crazy. Then 10 years later, it becomes common knowledge what they knew back then. It’s how humankind (or apekind) gets pushed forward.

It is really disgusting. They have overfed this animal (Kanzi) and the other Bonobos for YEARS, not to mention with high sugar foods and things that are unnatural and otherwise unhealthy for them. These Bonobos are morbidly obese and several have died young. This Bonobo, Kanzi, is easily DOUBLE the weight he should be. Just google "adult Bonobo" to see how overweight he is. Anyone that thinks this making of fire and eating of marshmallows is a one time thing is clueless. He's been trained to do this over many years.

@susancappaert742 9 лет назад

Kanzi is a female Bonobo at the Iowa Primate Sanctuary. Studies on her and her family are ongoing. I recently saw the full documentary on BBC and these creatures are amazing! She does eat the marshmallows, drinks some water out of a water bottle afterwards and then pours the rest of the water out on the fire to put it out! She also has a vocabulary of over 500 words (none of which were swear words) and picked out the foods she wanted to take on their picnic that day as well as asking for her son to join them. I could have watched it for hours. Fascinating!

Not sure where the ‘pygmy’ part fits lol. They are far more gentle than their chimpanzee cousins. They do not engage in infanticide or cannibalism, they don’t hunt monkeys, rather they play with them and groom them. Amazing, beautiful animals.

+Patrick Hlavinka it doesn't have to be with stones or bowdrill, they can pass it on through matches.

@Demonic Soul it's a fact! our ancestors a few million years ago were very similar

@valinorean4816 4 года назад

@Demonic Soul well from the bones you can see where the muscles were and so on, thus, how they looked like (faces are easily reconstructed from the skulls, for example); in fact australopithecines like Lucy - our ancestors 3-4 million years ago - were just like bonobos but more adapted to walking upright than living in the trees

You can tell he is better at fire safety than most people I have encountered at bonfires

This is incredible, I need to find out if we can educate them further, I wanna see if we get them to create full length sentences and have actual conversations with us, it shouldn't be to hard, it's like teaching children

Kanzi taught himself sign language when they showed him videos of Koko! He did it on his own, and surprised them with his knowledge of signing later. That's something I think even humans would find somewhat difficult to do.
