As a biologist, I find this fascinating. This chimp is checking her eye lashes for lice, her nostrils for worms (check out "turning sickness" in apes). He's checking her skin (especially the folds) for staph infections. Smelled her mouth for gingivitis (indicator of tooth decay). Checked the sclera of her eyes (jaundice is a sign of malnutrition). Checked her nails for fungi. To me, this seems very intentional and borders on medical.
He even looks a bit like a wise old doctor with his little white goatee. Lol
And if it saw those ailments like staph or jaundice, what would it have done next?
@@tomorrowsforecast1799 he would just keep an eye on that area and maybe groom it more than somewhere else. All with good intentions though 😊
Lol this chimp ain't doing none of that.
Its truly amazing!!
That is not a chimpanzee. That is very obviously a professional doctor with a PHD. He has clearly been doing this for years, please give him the respect he deserves
😂i agree
😂
Dr. J.P. Worthington PHD. (Grabs his clipboard)
Dr Jim Panzy MD PhD
Ook.
the longest and the thoroughest doctor's appointment I've seen in my life
You can't get an exam like that at a doctors office
Dude for real. How can I book an appointment? Does he take insurance?
Doctors will NEVER exam you like this even when you desperately need them to, I would gladly take this chimp over some glorified graduate anyday.
No seriously 😭
I’m getting ASMR tingles from this 😏
This feels so intimate, in a good way. She is so gentle and thorough, and leaves no stone unturned to make sure her human is healthy. What a beautiful interspecies bond.
Beautifully stated, and a I completely agree!
Its a very important social component and bonding activity for chimpanzees
She looks so confused lol
@@JustinS06 she is avoiding eye contact (good for her safety)
She’s playing with fire
I've never realized how complex and specific process grooming really is. It's not just simply "looking for bugs", but a full medical healthcheck - including examination of teeth and eyes, in order to see if your fellow mate is alright
But what keeps him from examining other more private parts?😯

As a retired physician I find this beyond fascinating. I've never seen anything like it. Thanks for posting!
Notice how he takes his time and really cares about the health of his patient and whether she lives or dies.
Not one of my doctors has ever done this thorough of an examination!
Can you do better than this chimp?
@@cannahelpu presumably if you had staph infection or lice or a strange rash, you could use your words to explain it to your doctor
As a retired chimpanzee I find this beyond fascinating as well.
It's crazy how millions of years of evolution took us all the way to the point where we have two species so incredibly close together in similarities. This was absolutely amazing to watch! I can only imagine what was going through this little guy's head. The thing is too, a lot of people in the comments saying how "human" the chimp seems to be, and although I get where you're coming from, the thing is, it's not that the chimp is behaving human...it's that we, despite everything, are but apes ourselves.
Probably the dumbest comment I’ve ever read.
Nope.

We don't come from monkeys or any of these animals. You'll eventually learn. 👍
@@XenogearsForever Well, we have Common Ancestors. And yes, we are animals, just really smart ones.
It crazy how gentle he is. You can tell he cares for you and your health. There's alot of trust and patience for each other.
Not a male IMO. Much larger and always dangerous...
I honestly felt like I was watching a physical take place
Gordy: Das what I'm sayin!

@Jimbob Robob You can read about Bow in the blog in the videos description. It says he is male and 20 years old!
It's insane that he had a mental list of everything to check and he was so gentle. I really can't get over this its absolutely incredible animals are absolutely incredible
Humans are also animals and Chimpanzees are our closest genetic relatives along with Bonobos.
You said a mouthful.

We can see through space and time, we have technology that has enabled us to fly, to travel into space.

@@karmakameleon113 Yeah, and it's difficult to store them for any period of time as they depreciate so quickly.
This is so thoughtful, intentional, calculated and precise! I’ve never seen a grooming session up close and in depth like this. I had no idea they were so thorough. It’s amazing.
The chimp gave the lady a more thorough examination than I’ve ever had by any physician…this is such a cool video. Thanks for posting.
You should go see a chimp the next time you have a medical emergency then.
He does his job dilligently.
True!
Probably more efficient and cheaper than living in America
@@TheHardestPillwhat
Love how he knows to be especially gentle around the eyes.
They probably understand how vital another’s creature’s eyes are. Considering the eyes are one of the body parts they go for when attacking; along with hands, feet, and the naughty bits.

@@Kujien it has been for like 5 years

@@Shay-vj3wh yes, his eye movements slightly raising his head while examining. So fascinating!
Not going to lie, when I see stuff like this and know how strong chimps can be if they want to be in ripping you limb from limb quite literally I found this ironically soothing and fascinating that he was as gentle as could be and in a way like a holistic doctor.
He’s really looking for something and is just like “damn why are you so clean” lol
Lol yeah "where are all the lice and ticks?"
Lol
@@nicolepaloms3509 who does?
Haha agreed 😄👍🏼
Imagine him finding a booger in the back of her nose and shoving one of those fingers in to get it.
The way he smells you to check your bacteria is remarkable. This was like a doctor visit. And he knows that he has to be more gentle with you than another chimp. Absolutely incredible.
I wonder what he would do though if he smells a bacterial infection... It's not like they got antibiotics.
@@AsucaTheBLUBBExcommunication?
@@AsucaTheBLUBB Piss on it
@@AsucaTheBLUBBchills actually use plants to heal, they are very very very intelligent even by primate standards.
Well its not surprising, given how our early ancestors began to use tools. Early bipedal primates (when the ancestors of other primates and humans separated and there started to be tall chimp-like creatures that had similar body proportions to that of modern humans) have been found to have had broken rocks for sharp edges, as a means of weapon and to break animal bones for nutrient dense bone marrow. Chimps are very proficient in tool usage and even planning and strategising. When hunting monkeys, chimps tend to initiate different groups to lead the prey into an area where it can only go in one direction, where a separate chimp is there to catch it. They use plant stems or sticks to fish for ants and termites as well. Its the closest thing we have tobeing able to go back in time and watch early hominids develop tool usage. Who knows, maybe at some point chimps will discover how to utilise fire and enter a new age of advancement.@@tobifalola8483

That chimp is not upset at all and has no reason to hurt her.
I've always had a fear of them since that lady got mutilated by one. But this one is so kind and caring. A true doctor. ❤
Gotta see it like this:
Are you afraid of your doctor because another human killed before?
If its the one I'm thinking of, she gave the Chimp a medication intended for human consumption, resulting in the unfortunate incident.
As with all wild animals, treat them with caution for your safety and theirs. But do love them from afar. ❤
Always have a healthy respect for the animal kingdom is how I’ve chosen to live my life
Don’t fear them, but understand if they want to? They can flatline your ass faster than Gorlock the Destroyer of Buffets can stampede you to get to the Chicken Wings
Always show these creatures the respect they deserve; because while we might be able to use tools to level the playing field, when we let ‘em get this close we’re in their territory, we’re just guests in it
And they will not hesitate to vibe check us if we ever forget that, it’s like if somebody waltzed into your house and started slinging verbal shit at you, you’re probably gonna ask em to leave and if that don’t work…well
You return to monke and show em why not listening was a bad idea
@@-Lazy this isn’t logical at all
@@-Lazythere’s multiple factors as to why i’m not scared of all people. That’s not the same at all.
It's fascinating watching him analyze another species other than himself. I wonder what he's thinking when he sees certain differences. I imagine he's like 'I can't tell if that's supposed to be there or not but I'll check anyway.' He was checking so much that I wondered if he had a little bit of an obsessive (and caring) personality or if it's just relaxing for him and he likes to spend as much time bonding like this as possible. He looks so happy to do this :) very sweet.
Or if maybe he was curious about the differences in their physiology. He's like, "I was just going to check for cavities, but I can't stop looking at your tiny teeth..."
Not sure he notices that much. Seems clear he sees her as merely another species of hairless chimpanzee which tbh isn’t too inaccurate and is more or less on point. The fact that there are hairless chimpanzees only reinforces this image.
Lol i relate
They do it for fun and bonding in the wild. They look for parasites or fungus or loose skin or whatever that they can pick off and try to clean. Honestly it's a shame we stopped doing this stuff ourselves and only go to a paid spa rarely.
Thanks for attending your scheduled medical checkup with Dr. Monke. Everything looks in order, no lice or boogers. See you next month!
Dr. G. Ape (G for "Great"). Chimps are NOT monkeys but part of Great Ape family. Monkeys have tails and are less related to humans. Not being sparky.
He only accepts lice and boogers
And amex
You reminded me of that joke from Friends
Dr. Jelly should collab with Dr. Monke
The thing that gets me the most is the way he gently brushes her hair out of the way. It's so subtle, but blows my mind how human like it is. This is really beautiful and fascinating.
It;s amazing. And I also find it quite fascinating that we humans and chimps descend from the same ancestor which lived around 6 or 7 million years ago. In other words, we have the same distant great grandmother and grandfather ("great" times several million generations)! So these two animals in the video are just very distant relatives.
@@Gorguruga I was just reading about this in the book “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind”! Fascinating stuff 😊
@@Gorguruga Eh by that logic we are distant relatives with any other mamal too, monkeys are much further from us than people think
@@davidkosiba624 Humans and chimps share around 97% DNA, give or take a few percent. So we know for a fact that we're very closely related to chimps. And to your first point, I do agree that we could call other mammals distant relatives but they aren't as close. To put it in perspective, a small rat-like creature which lived about 145 million years ago is the earliest Eutherian mammal discovered so far.
It is thought to be the distant relative of all placental mammals, ranging from blue whales, shrews to humans. So while we are related to that rat-like creature, and we could say that our distant relatives scurried around like rats, the timescale of 145 million years is quite vast. So we're much more closely related to chimps because only 6 to 7 million years ago is when we split from the common ancestor on that branch of the evolutionary tree.
@@amandac8836 Thanks for the book recommendation. Haven't read it before so I'll check that one out soon! :)
Anyone else laugh when he started checking up her nose 🤭 Admittedly I was nervous watching him touch her eyes but it seemed very intentional! He was careful and that was so cool to watch.
Yeah, I don’t let anything or anyone near my eyes, no matter how smart they might be. You only get one pair.

Its amazing how he could understand the concept of clothing and that he needed to move away the fabric in order to inspect her skin
Its amazing how much humans underestimate other animals
It's similar to fur, so it does make sense he could make the connection
ofcourse, Chimps are our 'cousins' they actually understand that our physical structure is like their own. My guess is they see us as primates without fur LOL
@@MickeyMousOfficialThis unironically. "It's crazy how much this animal which is highly intelligent and loosely related to us, can comprehend that we create things"
They are absolutely aware of clothing or many other things. Chimps in a zoo know that the place they are in was constructed by us.
The difference is they lack the capability of knowing how exactly we built it. It could maybe use a computer and get that we made it, but the how of it is something they'd never comprehend.
@@MickeyMousOfficial it's because other animals are generally so stupid. I have yet to meet a pigeon that can beat me in more than 1/10 games of chess.
i cant believe how gentle he is
Ikr, especially that chimpanzees can be even more aggressive than gorillas
Keep in mind chimps are known for attacking and killing humans it's not unheard of and there are documented cases of it. We look at this video and think "Oh that's cute" and make jokes about how the chimp is a great doctor. However, at the end of the day, this is a wild animal that can easily kill this woman if it wants to.
they are just as sensitive and gentle as humans
Cap@@iambora.
@goofyindividual-pl1bd It’s both. They are extremely sensitive, communicative, and intelligent. But they are also like war societies and hunt other tribes and establish dominance within their own by fighting and showing threat displays. Some say they are even entering their Stone Age. We as a people are still violent and the fact we are so close really shows us where we get it.
No wonder they are our closest living relative. The hand movements are so human like and understand human anatomy because they are similar. It’s incredible to watch
قال الله تعالى ولقد خلقنا الانسان في احسن تقويم
Crazy to think when he's gentle he's exercising even more restrain than you think. Since they're so incredibly strong, he has to be even more gentle than normal to not feel incredibly forceful to a human. Amazing.
They are pound for pound 1,35-1,5 times stronger than humans. So not incredibly strong, but strong. Many animals are way stronger both pound for pound and in absolute strength, like leopards and lions.
i think they are probably stronger than that, but defining strength between your average wolf or lion compared to a chimpanzee and human probab;y requires more specification the density and strength of their tendons and muscle fibers are significant, alot of people say a light slap by even a baby primate feels like getting hit by an adult, i even saw a video of a monkey dragging some kid around like a sack of potatoes@@FBugle
@@FBugle That's a human at a very good level of fitness, most people aren't giving a false impression of a chimps strength. 1.35-1.5 times stronger than a peak level fitness human is strong enough to do some serious damage. I do believe he was exercising a lot more restrain than a human would working on her face.
@@en2456 Of course it's strong. I simply point out, that some old claims about their strength are grossly exaggerated. But naturally an ape weighing 50-90 kg and that much stronger pound to pound is quite something if it gets upset. Animals don't restrain their strength like we can do if things escalate. But it's the same with all animals.
@@en2456 And chimpanzees muscle fibers are 1,35 times stronger than fit human has. Not some top athlete. And because of some other anatomical differences, chimpanzees are approximately 1,5 times stronger than fit humans, pound for pound.

@@ricardomontalbanjr1943 matter of time.
With what I know about apes, this was just fascinating to watch for a couple reasons. For starters, grooming in apes like chimpanzees is how troops keep strong bonds with one another - they check each other for stuff like parasites and even medical issues, and it is a calming experience for both parties involved. To see this chimp do that with a zookeeper, you just know that they're bond is really something to behold.
Second, this was just calming to watch... like ASMR. The chimp is so meticulous and careful, it's calming just to watch it do this.
As an actual doctor I can confirm he does better checking than most of us

I can definitely see why grooming sessions are a bonding experience. I'm someone with a long family history of skin conditions and I'm a redhead, so I've been seeing a dermatologist for many years. When I go in for check-ups there, she'll go through my hair because they have found precancerous moles on my head before.
It's like one of the most relaxing things ever. My favorite part by far. This is basically the same thing lmfao, checking up on someone's physical health. Very fascinating stuff.
wrong and chill out son. she is your doctor- not your therapist or g.friend. Bonding comes from TRUST first. Grooming comes later.
@UTAH100 You quite literally took that completely wrong and I'm a bit insulted. I'm a woman and I'm not attracted to other women.
I commented that it must be relaxing like when someone plays with your hair 💀 good grief how does that translate to "I think my doctor is my girlfriend"
It was an example, I'd appreciate if you didn't make wild assumptions like that. It kinda made me uncomfortable I'm ngl.
@@phoenixwing5133 Your procedures with your medical professional were not a "Grooming sessions" nor where they really meant to be bonding experiences- no more than your Doctor doing his/her job and drawing blood. You are/were vulnerable and have or had a need in your life to feel love, protected and safe. That's fine. We all feel that way sometimes, but usually people keep that to themselves. You put it out online so I made a simple comment. I don't know you and did not mean anything really by it. No need to feel insulted so don't take it personally. I am sure you are a decent person. I said "son" because the photo in your thumbnail appears to be that of a Korean male. Perhaps it is simply someone to whom you admire, which again, is perfectly fine.
Namaste.
@@MOAB-UTi feel like you are still taking this the wrong way. Things are relaxing. My hairdresser washes my hair before my permanent curls. very relaxing, ive mentioned it to her too (and she just said smiling that many feel that way too), yet i am not craving for love and validation or feel need to have any stronger connection with her. i dont even remember her name. it was simply a relaxing experience which wouldve ofc been a good way to bond if it was a friend whom i had emptional connection with, since its a nice thing that feels nice. ive had similar experiences with nurses and physical therapist. our bodies just like these kind of calm and relaxing things and its fine. it doesnt mean that i lack love and affection in my life. i just like nice things.

These are our homies. They're just one step away from us. Everyone wants to find aliens and other life as to not be alone but we got these guys here with us already. It's really fucking cool seeing this
The problem is....we want to find species more inteligent than us or as same inteligence like us and it's an evolutionary thing for us and makes us forget,makes us arrogant towards our closest cousins making people think that the other primates are not like us. " We are not monkeys,we are better and we are not animals haha, all prays the Lords Jesus Christ!(look at me idiot arrogant haha). "

Yes. Genealogically speaking Chimpanzees are the closest "animal" to humans. We are all primates. However, Chimpanzees are still the most vicious and violent in the entire family. I feel like this is still fitting for them being more related to us though.
@@jesusbarrera3779 an ode to us as a species I guess. We can be equally violent and vicious. Sure we temper it more but that's just thanks to evolution. I'm not saying we should treat them as equals or anything lmfao but it'd be cool if people could give em more credit
I can understand how this develops strong bonds. To do this and take this amount of care really shows you care.

I was just th8nking this was the craziest ASMR video you never knew you needed. Lol
Yeah! Except for the part where the thing can rip your face off with one hand! (No disrespect to any chimp attack survivors.)
@@andyshistorylessons8278 really harshing the vibes man
@@Bootsofwings LOL! I was just messin’ around! I actually found the video relaxing myself
As a RN I can say this chimp has given a more thorough exam than any doctor I have ever seen.
Which says a lot about the horrible medical system
Me too/exactly!!
Girl go give your license up.
Rn-real nyagga?
As a doctor i might then say that both the speed of examination and thought process is quite similar to those examinations i've seen given by RNs.
(jk, i love RNs)
I was scrolling through people's comments talking about how relaxing this looks when I realized something. I mean, why *do* we feel relaxed when we get a massage, or during grooming videos like this one? Perhaps it's a leftover reaction from our primate ancestors grooming each other to stay healthy thousands and thousands of years ago
Very much so. We likely evolved these kinds of autonomous responses because checking eachother for medical issues is a very useful behaviour for a social species to have but it helps if there is an incentive for doing so.
I love the way you think!
Probably part of why people are so stressed now too, so few do anything like this, whether paying for it (as a massage) or with their own family or partners
Apes invented ASMR lol 😂
Every time you squeeze your partners spots or blackheads, that's bonding by grooming.. We're apes after all?
As a massage therapist and nurse assistant, I find this amazing. I just watched a video of a small monkey grooming its human family members, and the differences in how it and this chimp performed grooming are amazing. The small monkey seemed to be mostly about examining mostly the scalp but also facial and forearm hair for bugs. The actions of the chimp in this video are closer to a medical examination than a grooming.
The chimp is trying to learn and perhaps even bond, and is very thorough in its examination. I thought it was funny when it looked down the lady's shirt like, "Hm...bit different than ours. Next!"
This is just how chimps bond with each other. Grooming is a sign of trust and friendship. Sort of like chatting with a friend, chimps groom each other as a way of showing respect and keeping clean.
When I was little, other girls braided my hair haha.
i like to think humans do the same, to some extent. it's similar to when you're talking to a friend and they pick some dust off of your clothes or play with your hair... it's so wholesome
он очень аккуратный. Россия/Сибирь/Александр/Красноярск/ -20 :)
Humans still groom each other, we have hairdressers and massage therapists
@cecilyerker true! But it's not so much for social connections anymore, it's more out of necessity and convenience
More thorough and attentive than any doctor I've ever been to
I would prefer him as my doctor hahahahah
Doctors don’t even know what they are doing biologists know way more about health than any doctors I’ve known. But this guy know exactly what he is doing and searching for. And you know what is the coolest thing ? Is that the Chimpanzee is not even gonna be able to buy himself a Porch but still is doing a real professional job for free just because he care about her. Crazy right ? I know ..!⚕️
( Btw in the Bible the word Pharmakia means Witchcraft lol.)
Just to make sure everyone understand that health is a business and it is truly pathetic especially in our era..☮️
Noted, I’m studying medicine so I’ll keep this in mind
@@sheevpalps3846 hahahaha great to hear…I want through examinations and used to get that 30 years ago..seems these days doctors don’t think holistically. Good luck with your studies 😀
@@la7418 Thank you I'll try my best
It’s times like this chimpanzee movements move back and forth through the uncanny valley for me, but in a good way. The dexterity of those fingers moving so much like a human’s. The quiet concentration while doing such tiny tasks. Those humanoid eyes flicking just like hers. It gives me giddy chills over how similar we are and I marvel that some people would deny we are related. Beautiful interaction ❤
That’s what struck me too, how can anyone deny, or find it absurd to believe we evolved from these haha. The chimp even knows what are all the features are - eyes, nose, mouth - and how to inspect them because they’re essentially the same haha
@@thomasfowler8212 that's a myth we did not evolve from monkeys and it's stupid to think that
@@thomasfowler8212it’s because for so long we’ve used a comparison with animals and primary monkeys and chimps as tool to criticize and demoralize another persons human status in order to justify acts of cruelty to other groups of people. So now when we make this clear observation that perhaps we aren’t so different after all, people take it as an ultimate offense. But who can blame them when we used chimps for product testing, research, experimentation, entertainment and keep them in cages all because they aren’t quite human but human enough to be used for testing out new medicine.
@@thomasfowler8212 we didn’t evolve from chimps. We share a common ancestor. But I get what you mean.
@@brianat4456 biology was never my strong point lol
He is doing physical the way it used to be done back in the days. He is way more competent than today's physicians 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The mutual level of trust is immensely touching. What a precious moment, although I'd have a hard time keeping my cool!
да, очень терпеливая пациентка, мне было бы страшно, на месте этой женщины
He is so focused and tries to do the best job possible!. It’s so sweet I’m actually melting. He must truly love you to work so hard on your body examination . He really put his heart to it!. That’s love !
That's how they keep their kind alive its instinct those things probably cause a lot of them to get sick or die.
That chimp is obviously bonded to her and loves her very much. She is being shown the care given to a spouse or child.
The obvious care and love and gentleness is so apparent. Beautiful
There's definitely got to be some deep instinctual reaction we still have for this because it's just so damn relaxing.
For real
speak for yourself im terrified.. no offense but id have MANY pitbulls around my child before 1 chimp i almost hope theres someone in the background with a gun for her safety honestly, these things deserve a good life and kindness but should not be interacted with
@@girlysoap9031 I wouldn't trust chimpanzees near me or anyone I love either. I think you're mistaken because no one is saying they want to actually be near a chimpanzee. There's just something relaxing about the idea of being groomed and looked at, like how back scratches feel good. Also, I wouldn't trust chimps OR pitbulls near a child or anyone I love. Both are incredibly unstable, but pitbulls essentially have psychopathy and bloodthirst. Pitbulls are a whole other animal. Have you seen the video from years ago of a pitbull lunging and attacking a large carriage horse? You can find it easily on RUclips with those search terms. The video is a great example of why these dogs are so dangerous. It’s literally getting kicked by a probably 1800-2000lb animal. An animal that a single wolf alone cannot bring down. This act is not based in any survival. It’s a fat dog, not hungry. Attacking alone. This is not natural at all. The dog does not have the sense to determine when the fight is futile. All sense has been bred out and replaced with a reckless abandonment level prey drive. That is a very dangerous mental state for any animal to be in. If a 2,000 lb horse can’t get it off, what makes a 180lb man think he can stop it? The human ego will keep us in the dark for eternity, especially if think you'd keep pits around children under any circumstance. Even if you only mean that as an example.
@@TheCatnipCinema definitely just an example! i was thinking of "tame" pit vs "tame" chimp too.. and i appreciate the explanation, i didnt realise pits were quite so unstable i used to think they were kinda cute till i learnt some things a while ago.. pitbull defenders are ridiculous to me also
@@girlysoap9031 I agree completely with you. Glad we cleared that up.
I love how she looks so confused but just rolls with it
i think she might be doing that to imitate the expressions a chimp would make since she can't smile or maybe hold direct eye contact with him for too long safely--smiling is like a challenge to chimps,I've heard.
@@loriefutrell8264 that makes a lot of sense
She’s imitating a fellow chimp getting groomed. This prevents triggering any aggression.
Yeah dude, she totally doesn't study them; just some random chick who wandered into the chimp enclosure.
@@jurisfootrag bro no need to get mad ma guy i was just making a small joke
What an honor it would be to be accepted into this kind of social activity with an animal.
I don't know, man. It kind of freaks me out, honestly
@@SundaeSaurusIt is a bit freaky. It would be difficult for me to be this trusting. But I think the video clearly shows a very very curious animal who loves this human and today has decided to examine and groom her :)
@@rebexxa I've been scarred for life due to the story of the woman who's had her face carved off by a chimpanzee
@@SundaeSaurus it is scary but you can tell he sees her as another chimpanzee. which is why he's checking for problems that chimps would usually have.
@@SundaeSaurusThere's plenty of human face carvers dotted throughout history. I'm more scared of our own kind to be honest.
Amazing! How gentle and patient he was. After this film I look at chimpanzees differently.
Been making my dog watch these. So far it hasn't worked
😂🤣 Maybe soon
💀💀💀
You must try with a bird
@@mimi4777-h9g Too funny. Years ago a girlfriend had a bird. It would walk on my chest and groom my beard. Plucking away. Yep, good stuff. Miss that little guy
@@Bubbles99718 And how was the bird?
So much intellect. It’s amazing. This woman has 100% trust in this primate. Knowing he could literally rip you apart but not allowing that fact to interfere with this practice…. Amazing on the part of the chimp and the lady.
To be fair, the same could be said for doctors. At least this guy gives a thorough examination 👀
@@joev3783in the US the doctors also rip you up but financially
I would say that only proves that this lady is less intelligent than the chimp. If that chimp knew that most women were capable and rather likely to attack without warning and cause death or irreparable damage,with a penchant for ripping and biting off the face and the hands and feet, I reckon it would back away and leave the room and have no close contact with her. But this 'intelligent' lady does nothing of the sort and just sits there, waiting for the face transplant.
I'm terrified of chimps specificaly because of stories of people being attacked after owning them as pets. But I have to say, this is adorable, and knowing nothing bad happens makes this almost ASMR-inducing to watch!
I'm also terrified of humans specifically because of stories of people being attacked after coloving with other people as homemates)
A lot of such stories)
Shocking that a wild animal forced into a pet would act like that.
@@Mamutmetalico it's no different than dogs, incidents like that are extremely rare.
Per capita, humans are worse i promise
@@meltaylor2339 wild chimpanzees are incredibly violent, that is very unlikely lol
I do not know how this ended up in my FYP. I only stayed on because it's so fascinating. But, I have to say that these two must really love each other to go through all of this.
Well...THIS is a form of ASMR I didn't expect to see today!
Sameeeee
Gave me literal tingles! 🤤
Or ever lol
Technically VSMR? Maybe? Mmm
So relaxing and interesting
"Dude this is serious your hair is all gone"
😂😂😂

Underated. Simple n brilliant. 😎
Stop it!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Africansc would fit right in .😅😅
It's amazing to see how gentle he's being. He could easily bash her head in or even just injure her while grooming her by being careless, but instead he gently inspects her like she was one of his kin.
She is his kin, we're apes.
@@trashygit Chimps engage in cannibalism. No matter how much you know one, what she did here is utterly irresponsible and stupid... they can get enraged for reasons we don't understand
@@trashygitWe’re not apes, though.
@@DarkScorpionPete98 Yes we are
Not really apes.
I could sit there for hours and let him groom me.. He's the most thorough dude I've seen yet. So special
HE IS SO SWEET!
Extremely attentive!
More caring then half of humans will ever be!
Than
Except for that one woman who got her face ripped off by a chimp
Go into the jungle and try to get one of the chimps there to groom you. You wont be conplaining about humanity when you’re missing your testies and right arm.
Yes it’s “than” and animals are always amazing until they’re ripping you apart
@@meadahagain can there ever be a comment that doesn't have a negative comment about animals or what?
I’m overwhelmed by ASMR just watching this. Incidentally, I am also terrified of murderous chimps. They are so kind and gentle at their best. Horrific at their worst. Just like people.
Some of the most peak ASMR. Needs to be on unintentional ASMR channel
The tenderness and care that links our two species. This is incredible to see. Thank you for sharing this.
How carefu he is and how meticulously he examines her. I'm always amazed at how smart and caring animals can behave.
Thoughtful, intentional, methodical. This is not comfort-seeking or random grooming. This is a meticulous examination.
The intensity and precision. Although not in any particular order, it was truly intelligently led from the use of finger nails to groom, to the really close eye contact.
Hmm monkey
Maybe it's advantageous to check for ticks or whatever at a few different time intervals
The fact that he's more thorough than any Doctor I've seen or heard about is both impressive and sad (for us.) 😅
Well considering his smell is basically a hack for finding infections the chimp has way more advantages than an actual doctor lol
I dunno what kinda doc you go to because that’s ridiculous.
I think you need to consider moving, pal 😂
@@IAteYourSandwich I was thinking the exact same thing lmao I don't know what kinda doctor they're seeing but they gotta get tf outta there quick
This chimp is akin to old school doctors . Hands on and attention to detail. I would trust him over most doctors today.
I watched this more than a dozen times and every single rewatch I am fascinated by how medical this is, is the reason I’m kind of relaxed watching this is a throwback to our ancestors and their grooming of each other?
This is one of the most RELAXING videos I've watched.
I hope you didn't shit yourself
It gives similar vibes to those massage videos.
When my wife picks my back, I am in absolute heaven.. even though 30% of the time it hurts 😂
ASMR
@@deep-fried-zombie699I can’t explain how physical touch appeals to me this way. I enjoy people playing in my hair, doing my nails, and adjusting my clothes 😊 I would love to let a chimp inspect me, if I wasn’t scared to death of what they can do 😅
I wish I could find a dr. so patient, thorough, an gentle.
I recommend you Dr. Sheemp Anne Z. Just don't forget to remind them that time is up or you'll end up like you're about to start a family...
And capable of biting off your hands feet and face??!!
@@Christopher-Lenz...but enough about health insurance.
The intelligence displayed by this animal is just so beautiful and humbling to watch. We need to respect all animals on this planet 🙏
Superstitious graffiti nonsense comment right here children 👆with zero respect for nature
So true
You keep saying animal as if you are not one....supremacist much ?
@@thescandinavian2487 hi, that's not what I meant at all. Sorry if you interpreted it that way. I'm definitely not a supremacist.
yeah, and monkey is great too
this is professional…the chimp just showed concentration, focus , real attention …..
it is very meticulous what he is doing..,every move he makes is slow and gentle with care and compassion…
but he is titally into the moment….
wow
Wow that woman is really brave and patient. Also, how did she not crack up during the nose exams?
Prbly didn't want to get her face ripped off.
Smiling and making sudden noise would be like squaring up to them. Jane Goodall said it was hard not to smile when working with chimps because she wanted to stay friends with them
The image of getting brutalized by a chimp is probably enough for someone to hold a laugh
@@Notesgeewho doesn’t want to throw down with a chimp
@@Notesgee haha "squaring up" I automatically thought of a monkey having their arms squared up for a fight
Grooming is as much a social connection as it is about cleanliness. The chimp lady is such a beautiful soul, I'm impressed this human lady has such a close bond
I think the most impressive thing is how they’re able to ignore the differences between humans and chimps, and just focus on the similarities. They don’t seem bothered by the clothes, the lack of fur, the different feet, etc.
“Man this is one weird monkey”
Meanwhile humans look exactly alike and fight to the death over skin colour
@@60sbabydoll777You think chimpanzees don't wipe out other chimpanzees from different groups in the wild?
@60sbabydoll777 that's not at all what we fight about but if that's how you want to rationalize it then ok. Chimps kill eachother just for being in different clans all the time. Chimps and other animals are much more violent and brutal than humans are to eachother.
@@60sbabydoll777 fr 😭
This video is a pleasure to watch for many reasons. In addition to showing how gentle and thorough the chimpanzee was with their inspection of the human, it shows us some ways that humans might learn to develop grooming skills and form deeper connections with chimpanzees in our care. Even an abbreviated version of this might be good for the mental health of a captive chimpanzee.
I always thought that grooming was just a vanity thing, but they're basically doing a physical on you. This is so fascinating
Makes sense. They live in jungles and jungles are full of all manner of parasites and other nasty stuff.
@@Nuinwing Yet other animals live without it.
@@brexitgreens not really. Pretty much all animals groom.
Keeping clean is honestly one of the best ways to avoid most health issues.
it has a strong social component as well, its how they form close bonds
This is SO beautiful. Bow is so gentle with the lady. He is very thorough in her nostrils! And so gentle around her eyes. There is mutual respect and trust here. An absolute honour to watch. How very privileged we are, when we deserve it, to gain the trust of a beautiful animal. He is so amazing and magical ❤️
You can tell just how sweet he is with you! He really does see you as family. It’s such a cool sight to see that one of our closest relatives can love us this unconditionally.
