      When you say primates you also realize that it includes humans? That’s what primates are capable of so, not so shocking considering I’m a primate reply to an other primate on the internet built by primates.

      I have a question. How come some people considered Bonobos the fourth great ape when they are basically just another type of Chimpanzee? There are also different types of Gorillas and Orangutans, but they aren't divided into completely different ape species like how Common Chimpanzees and Bononos are.
      Here's the two species that fall under the "Pan" genus category:
      Common chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
      Bonobos (Pan paniscus)
      Here's the two species that fall under the "Gorilla" genus category:
      Western gorillas (Gorilla gorilla)
      Eastern gorillas (Gorillia beringei)
      Here's the three species that fall under the "Pongo" genus category:
      Sumatran orangutans (Pongo abelii)
      Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus)
      Tapanuli orangutans (Pongo tapanuliensis)
      So I think it's pretty stupid when Bonobos get treated as the fourth great ape since they are Chimps.

      We do not know what he/it really understands or not. It is a Bonobo in captivity for many years and of course it has adapted many human-like behaviour, because they watch and mimic human behaviour. That is part of their skills to learn what they see. And this ape underwent a lot of training by his caretakers I would assume.

    This guy is so amazing 😍❤️ Can you imagine, that in new years night 2019/2020 in Germany more than 30 (!) primates (including gorillas, shimpanzees and Orang-Utans) burnt to death in a zoo, because three super dump ladies made chinese lanterns fly. It was just devastating 😩😤😱
