what a legacy.... what a great thing all of you do!
Thank you so much Patti for all you do and have done for these beautiful animals❤
Awe…that Orang was meant to be a Mama…beautiful
❤I am so happy that there is still beautiful people in the world that give their lives to help animals well done❤❤❤❤ much love from canada
Amazing work .
Thank you for what you do how do we send donations
Love the tunnels......
Chimps ever have contact w orangutans? Wonder what their reaction woukd be.
I would imagine they don’t interact. In the Wild, they never interact because they’re situated very far from each other. Chimps do sometimes interact with gorillas, and while nonviolent interaction does occur, they’re also known to engage in very violent contact. Chimps can be very territorial.
A great place that does noble work
We agree 100%!
Monkey World is Awesome Alsp
Do they have an open area habitat that they can go to from the tunnels?
They have lot's and lot's of space. Here is a link to their website for much more information: centerforgreatapes.org/
@@animalouttakes beautiful!
she also shows it in the video
Thank you for helping the great apes. Working them wasn’t right
I wonder what would happen if I walked in the chimp cage
Who names the chimps
Those Chimpanzees and Orangutans don't have very much height to climb within their enclosures, most of their space seems to be horizontal.
You are doing a wonderful job. These great apes need natural vegetation to live amongst, not on the other side of the fence
No one noticed she had a belly
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏🦧🦧🦧❤
People say primates are smart. Primates are so much like humans physically. They use tools? They have hands. Hands are just like any ability animals have, they are a very sophisticated physical characteristic, just like how cheetahs have sophisticated characteristics to be fast.
Primates have similarities to humans in a lot of ways.
I have been wondering if it is actually that primates and some other smart animals are so smart or if it is actually possible humans understand them better because they are more like us. I think while it may not be the only explanation for things they do, having more physically similar characteristics can make them even act more like us because if for example chimps do not have as much strength as other great apes, and the fact humans don't as well, but they have dexterity and the ability to use tools, like us, they would need to make tools to survive. Similar to us. But that is like if you compared 2 physically similar animals in the wild who had similar abilities and then observed them using similar tactics to do something. Because similar abilities require similar tactics.
So my question was if it is actually possible that it is not just primates, elephants, or crows or some other smart animals in fact have certain behaviors, but that maybe it is actually possible other animal species do to that humans are overlooking because they are harder to understand.
But it is also possible that these supposed smart animals may be like us physically because they are smart I have thought. Like if a less intelligent animal may not have the ability to make tools they may lack the physical ability to make tools. If a creature can make tools like swords like humans, maybe they may lack claws because we can just make claws or swords or other sharp objects that could function like claws. So there wouldn't be much of a point in giving humans claws. Or maybe even fur, because we can just give ourselves fur with clothes. Even making clothes requires hands and dexterity.
But who knows? Maybe we are actually just able to see animals like crows, or apes are more sentient. Maybe it is not actually that they are smart, but that like humans they have emotions, can form bonds, and that the way treat them does not not effect them just because they don't understand everything humans do. Maybe it is not just apes or crows, maybe a lot of animals actually could have similarities. Like could other animals have cultures but their communication is more difficult to read. Do animals like dolphins have more complex language? Or is it just more like our language? If humans lacked vocal cords would they speak the same? If we were not humans but possessed the same intelligence would we speak the same?
Humans also seem to think being in a group makes animals smart. I don't know if it does, this is also human-like, we have grouped together for a while. I think there could be many reasons animals may or may not group together. Maybe it is because they need to because they are weaker. Like I noticed that wolves group together, but on their own a mountain lion can kill one wolf but together they can take down mountain lions, but only together. I also noticed I wonder if lions actually have more animals which can kill them in the savanna because there are hippos, elephants, hyenas, huge prey like elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, honey badgers, crocodiles, etc... etc... Many animals more capable maybe of taking down lions than in other locations with big cats, and maybe as a result lions group together because they have to. Plus the male lion's mane makes them hotter and so the females have to hunt so maybe the males have to group with females for that reason. There are leopards there too which are solitary, but they can climb trees and I was thinking maybe it made them able to escape danger easier. Plus, while wolves are social and group together, foxes, if you think they are the same species, are solitary usually more than wolves. I also think they can climb to some degree, unlike wolves. Another reason I think that animals may group together is because they cannot communicate without being next to another animal. Like some animals can use scent marking to maybe communicate without being next to another animal. So I don't know if being physically further away always means a animal is less social. I am also not sure if being physically close to other animals means they are more social, or if they just have to be near another animal to interact, though social ones may be closer if they are social because they are social, but being close may be either for protection or communication. If a creature is like a mountain lion with no real predators and is on top of the food chain, it may be solitary due to it not needing extra protection as well.
But who knows? It was just an idea.
It's an interesting idea but we have rigorous, objective ways of measuring intelligence in animals. And there are many examples of known intelligence in species radically different than us that actually conclusively debunk your hypothesis. One big one is cetaceans (dolphins, whales, and orcas). Dolphins are so intelligent, many researchers believe their brains are more advanced than the non-human great apes. In fact, in some ways their brains appear more advanced than our own. Dolphins are physically as different from humans and other primates as you can imagine, and yet we know they are likely the 2nd most intelligent animals on the planet aside from us. Another even more bizarre example is cephelopods (octopuses, squids, and cuttlefish). They're the most intelligent invertebrates, and have shown remarkable social behaviors and problem solving skills, yet they're so different from us they might as well be aliens.
I do absolutely think you have a point in a way, though. It's definitely much easier for us to research and understand animals that are similar to us, like apes and monkeys. It's much more difficult to sort out, scientifically, the extent of intelligence in animals that are very different from us - but we certainly can and do figure it out.
We need laws to not allow this to occur
OMG Its been my dream to work with monkeys since I was a 6 im 39 now
They are not monkeys.
Man they have so small cages i hate to see these sentient sapient beings in cages
Sad in cages they need more than that
No matter how big the cage , it`s still a cage .
Animals habitats are being destroyed at a phenomenal rate. This is causing them to become extinct. What can we do to save them besides put them in a zoo?
all in cages JUST LIKE A SHOW FOR MONEY NOT A GREAT LIFE EITHER
They can’t have a great life since they weren’t raised in the wild. This is the best middle ground for them .
The funny thing is if they were in the wild with their “own kind” since chimpanzees live into their 30’s on average chances are most these guys would have passed, same with orangutans. The wild is way rougher than anything they had to deal with. With people chimpanzees can live to be 80’s year old like cheetah the chimpanzees. Orangutans are harmless and more tame than dogs and they are not endangered as orangutans in zoos and sanctuaries do not get counted. As this place practices no pro creating so did J. Good all who has been sterilizing chimps at her sanctuaries for decades causing them to go endangered and she blamed zoos, circuses and pet owners for them going extinct. So there is a lot of hyperbole when it comes to apes. Why? Political pawns. Really is hideous and the people who do it should be ashamed not held up as heroes.
Orangs are not harmless and are not more tame than dogs. They can be very hard to handle and very destructive and can/will harm you if you get in the way of what they want. They are way more powerful than any human so you can be seriously injured even if they are just playing. Endangered animals are only counted in the wild. Yes, all 3 of the things Jane Goodall blames is true. Not so much here in the USA anymore but in a lot of other countries, mainly 3rd world, it is still a problem. They kill the mother to get the baby which is sold to zoos, circuses, and for pets. With Orangs it's usually just the mother but with Chimps and Gorillas part of the troop is also often killed because they will attack trying to protect the mother and others in the troop. Many of the infants don't survive the trip to wherever they are shipped to or they are so ill and stressed they end up dying not long after they get to where they are going. That's what is causing these animals to be endangered in the wild. Their environments being destroyed is another factor. Accredited zoos in North America and Europe have very strict breeding programs with apes. They do with almost all primates and other animals as well. They are kept on birth control until they decide to let one or two have a baby. They don't always breed every year. It's not so much as having babies to have some. It's about helping the troop dynamics. Otherwise, helping the troop be more like a family like they are in the wild. With sanctuaries, they can't do this for a number of reasons. One is the space they have and not having a place to send the males once they get old enough to leave the troop. Another is they usually know nothing about the lineage of that animal. Zoos do and can prevent inbreeding which sanctuaries can't. Apes often raised as pets or not part of a troop often do not make good mothers. They do not know how to care for their baby so it ends up being hand raised. The sheer number of chimps in captivity (pets, entertainment industry etc) makes it necessary to have some kind of birth control to not only control numbers but it's also for health reasons. Animals in zoos/sanctuaries in North American and Europe have no affect on animals being endangered in the wild as far as breeding goes. It can't change that. It can help with animals that are extinct in the wild or are nearly extinct because the only ones known to exist are in zoos and sanctuaries.
Thank you so much! I'm amazed! I'm so in love with orangutans 🦧 and just found out this is right by where my folks live!!! 😲
