Actually, the most recent data shows that bonobos engage in quite a lot of aggression. In some cases, more than chimpanzees. They do lack the male coordinated aggression though. So they're not as peaceful as once thought.

A lot of people seem to forget that humans also show their teeth as a sign of aggression. When you're really angry you can feel your upper lip curling to expose your teeth the same way other animals do. Humans also smile and wince, which also exposes teeth but shows completely different emotions, so why would it be different in other, similar animals?

@Worm_Void 12 дней назад

People often forget that they are animals, and exactly what that notion entails. There is a lot of stuff that we do that The rest of the animal Kingdom also tends to do.

@rachelhignett9473 12 дней назад

@Worm_Void one thing the Bloodhound Gang taught the world: You and me baby, aren't nothing but mammals. I think it comes down to the fact humans forget we're in fact animals because we do a whole lot that others don't and we have further developed thing other animals do so that it becomes really unique to humans. We have an increased brainpower for learning and development.

@jacobcox4565 12 дней назад

I think there's a reason why Koba, the antagonist of "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes", is a Bonobo. I think they wanted to show just how messed up he is because of human experimentation, the thought that a combination of a higher intelligence and years of abuse made one of the most peaceful apes into one of the most violent ones is kinda scary. Koba was turned into a monster by both humans and his own choices.

@Taima 12 дней назад

Also Hollywood has a really hard (though sometimes understandable) time avoiding some black and white stuff like "chimps good, bonobos bad" that helps them make the movie for the masses.

@kentinson1670 12 дней назад

It's meant to show how the virus has evolved them ans how they defy their simplistic nature. Caesar, a chimp, is more benovelent and wants peace while Koba, a bonobo, is willing to go to war

@Rodrigo_Vega 11 дней назад

I had the same thought. I think selecting of a species so famously "loving" for him is meant to make it plain that his cruelty wasn't an aspect of his nature or of his species. He wasn't born like that. It was human cruelty overlapping the potential of evil in a conscious human-like mind. That makes it all the more tragic and villanous.

I'm sure there have been humans killed by a gorilla occasionally, in the gorilla's native habitat. If a native living in the jungle accidentally angered a gorilla and got killed by it, none of us would ever know about it. She should have said that she knows of no westerner that has been killed. Think about it. If gorillas posed no threat then the zoo keepers would not have chosen to shoot and kill the gorilla.

@iamdanielmonroe 10 дней назад

Her point at 4:00 was actually more significant than many realize. Yes, Bonobos are typically more docile and kind-natured but the fact that Koba was so ruthless and psychopathic is a testament to how badly he was treated being tested and experimented on by humans. I don't think this was an error on the film's part but more of subtle character development and backstory.

@leonardomarquesbellini 5 дней назад

It's also important to notice Bonobos are just less violent than Chimps ON AVERAGE when dealing with others like them, they're not necessarily hippy apes. They're still omnivores that hunt and prey on smallar monkeys, and there have been accounts of male Bonobos being just as aggressive towards other males as Chimps can be.

it's obvious those movies tried pretty hard.

Im malaysian and speak malay. "Orangutan" is a malay word which is a literal translation of "people of the jungle/forrest". The grammatically correct malay spelling would be "orang hutan". Interesting that the ancestors of our land thought of them as people (human) rather than as monkeys even way back then. Our ancestors respected these "people of the jungle" and left them and their trees alone. Now humans have ravaged their habitats, poachers hunted them down and drove them to extinction. I don't think any orangutan exists in the forrest outside the national parks of Sabah and Sarawak anymore. How very shameful.

Really positive message at the end, that when we actually decide to do something about it, we can have a really positive impact like the Dian Fossey org does for the Rwandan primates

@doro626 12 дней назад

Interesting that in the first Planet of the Apes movies, the Gorillas were the military and considered warlike. In the remake with marky mark, the Chimpanzee was very aggressive ( which sounds more accurate, according to what she said).

@Voice_of_Adam 12 дней назад

According to Tim Burton's commentary for the 2001 movie, making the villain a chimpanzee was a very deliberate choice for that reason. As I recall the gist of what he said was that gorillas are generally pretty peaceful, but chimps are scary, crazy bastards and you never know what they're gonna do.

@thepubknight6144 9 дней назад

In the remake gorillas are stoic and hardly attack humans and when they do they just grabbed their leg and lightly threw them which is also very accurate to gorillas

Loved seeing Chester Zoo footage in there. :-) Great video, even though I knew some of it through watching and filming primates. There were still some bits where I thought, 'Oh, that's why.' Like the single-file follow of the chimps. They do this in zoos, and I always wondered why they are doing this. Superb video; thoroughly enjoyed it.
