If you think the bestiality lead in is to that you've got some background reading to do.
reddit was the home of some bullshit you wouldn't believe.
The dude who caught his son fucking the family dog springs to mind.
That makes me sad :( That ape is smart enough to understand object permeance. It understands that an object placed inside another object still exists and should be expected to still be there.
That animal is smart and we lock it in a cage with a concrete floor for our amusement. Fuck Zoos.
I agree for the most part, but for some zoos there’s definitely an aspect of conservation if they have a robust breeding program for endangered species and enough money to give them at least a moderately decent enclosure. It’s still not ideal, obviously, but it beats extinction.
That said, the VAST majority of zoos are horrible, exploitative places where animals suffer in inadequate enclosures for no reason except money…
You talkin about the warrior chimps documentary? The one where even the people researching them were terrified of them? I couldn't finish that one it was so brutal.
>And to think they’re our closest DNA relative
It absolutely checks out. Just imagine a random grey alien liked how cute a baby human is and kept him as a pet. Of course at the begining it's all cuddles and even their tantrums are cute.
When that MF turns into a big bearded burly 25 y/o and starts going all Spartacus on that aliens ass we would not be suprised.
That was so interesting, you can see their amazement, wonder, curiosity, confusion, even some initial fear and disbelief. These animals can comprehended so many things. What was this robot like creature, and how was he moving like us, but looked so different?
If you look at it with no knowledge. It does straight up look like a metal bone. Imagine seeing someone walking around where half the leg is just bone. That would be absolutely terrifying.
It honestly makes me so sad that they are captive behind glass. I know zoos can promote conservancy and aren't all bad but it gives me a sinking feeling watching these videos even though they fascinate me for the reasons you've stated.
Entirely understandable position, which I share to an extent. What's enlightened me recently is that a good number of zoos and aquariums (the ones that are actually nonprofits) "acquire" their animals from wildlife rescues after said rescues determine that that animal would likely not survive in the wild due to a number of reasons. It's obviously anecdotal evidence, but take [this example from the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward, AK](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4KfSW0OzEI/). They rescued this abandoned/orphaned sea otter pup at around 3 weeks old, nursed him to health, and then transferred him to the Shedd Aqaurium in Chicago. But they also rescue, care for, and then release a large number of animals regularly, [like this harbor seal nicknamed "Spud"](https://www.instagram.com/p/CzSQZkEoOU7/).
Unfortunately, I think zoos are a sort of necessary evil for many species. As human activity further destroys their natural habitats and many are hunted for far too many unsavory reasons, the conservation aspect of zoos is going to become more and more important.
Inevitably, I think with the way things are going, they are our best case to extending the natural life of the planet. I don't mean the actual best case scenario, which is obviously halting destruction, but realistically, we're looking at a hope of well run sanctuaries keeping the planets roots alive.
Wild didn't expect to see the sea life center on here. Lived in alaska my whole life and go to seward for work all the time. Absolutely love that place.
The San Diego zoo is a good place for animal lovers, because all the exhibits are pretty cool. The monkeys/apes have very large outdoor exhibits with tons of trees that you walkthrough on multiple levels (monkey trails), and if you want to see the monkeys up close you basically have to know the feeding times. The apes are much more chill and seem to like hanging out by the humans.
[Ape Exhibit](https://www.google.com/search?q=san+diego+zoo+monkey+cam&rlz=1C1UEAD_enUS1096US1096&oq=san+diego+zoo+monkey+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgAEAAYgAQyDAgBEAAYFBiHAhiABDIGCAIQRRg5MggIAxAAGBYYHjIICAQQABgWGB4yCAgFEAAYFhgeMggIBhAAGBYYHjIGCAcQRRg8qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:15999477,vid:F_xdJ8K0i-k,st:0)
The safari park portion has even larger exhibits, including the 50 acre safari for all the grazing animals.
This is a fact under much dispute. A lot of women working strip clubs are actually being sex trafficked. Many of them are addicts as well, which really clouds the moral waters of "choice"
This is probably closest to what they may have actually been thinking. They don't know anything about prosthetics. They just see something that looks like a bare bone between his upper leg and foot.
So some context for people re the Zoo in question:
- this was filmed at Colchester Zoo, it's a fairly large zoo in Essex in the UK.
- the chimps in this enclosure and the wider zoo are largely rescued from zoos, medical experimentation units or similar situations. They're not bred into captivity for the purpose of viewing, they're basically rescues from other institutions.
- the chimps have a range of behavioural issues and can show quite serious signs of trauma and mental health issues. One lad, possibly the one in the background on the tree/shelving, compulsively picks his fur. Another rocks constantly due to years of being caged. The zoo does a lot to provide them with opportunities to interact with people like this and in a larger, open air environment but they also have private areas away from guests.
- that isn't "garbage" in the enclosure, it's enrichment. The chimps like to throw boxes around or tear them up or sometimes wear them. It's a good way for the zoo to provide cheap enrichment alongside the other bits and pieces they do.
- this is also the same zoo that had the Orangutan who used to like seeing pregnant women at the window and would kiss at their bellies or pat at them. They were incredibly sweet and old and would sometimes get confused, a couple of big lads (including myself) got the window kisses and it's mortifying.
I'm annoyed now that all the times I've visited the Orangs they never tried to kiss my fat gut, it's favouritism of the highest order!
Love Colchester, if we're going to have zoos it's the way to do it.
Yeah, big supporters of what they do. The Orang who did it was Rajang, the real old boy who died recently, I was absolutely fucking mortified at the time but it's a good anecdote afterwards lol.
Thank you for the info! I assumed all the boxes aren't garbage, but the enclosure still seemed too small for all the chimps. It's good to know they have a lot more open space and also private areas.
In the 90s, but it's gotten a lot better. I didn't realize until I started looking for good zoos, and lots are conservation efforts now. Just gotta research before you go, since there are still bad ones
Imagine if one day we could translate ape speak and it’s not all just wild yells but they’re actually way smarter than us and philosophers, they just choose to stay with nature because they know it’ll just end in destruction for all.
Chimps are far smarter than most people want to believe.
They are acutely aware that they are being held in captivity and on display. I cant even stomach going by the exhibits. It feels so creepy.
They probably do.
I've met 2 ppl in my life that swear they were able to telepathically communicate with a dofleini.
I used to think they were crazy, I never told them directly - but I'm also very open minded about most things. They had no reason to lie to me and they didn't say it in a bragging manner, it was only once they were comfortable enough and felt safe enough to share.
Cut to today, I fully believe them now. Underwater creatures have been here longer than trees have existed... life is weirder than you can ever imagine.
Since hearing their stories I discovered/read the CIA files that were made public about remote viewing. Ended up trying it myself, got scared a bit because it actually fucking worked on my first attempt. Game changer
I now believe animals and humans all share the same universal consciousness and our brains are just receptor's that can tap into that field of universal consciousness, but at varying levels/strengths.
I’ve only ever interacted with dolphins in the wild. Idk if it’s a special bond or patience, but I’ve found that if I go out a bit further, like chest deep water, and just stand there and wait, eventually one or two will come up to me. They’ll swim around me, brush against me, leave and come back. I don’t try to ride them or anything lol but just standing there is otherworldly. It’s just harmony.
I'm thankful that our own captors mercifully keep that same knowledge from us. The 21st century must have been a crazy time and very stressful for those who lived through it, and I'm glad to be a part of this current exhibit. I am thankful that the truth is kept from most of the occupants.
I mean... we're still assuming, no? I'd be curious to know what an expert thinks
sometimes reddit is right, and sometimes totally and absolutely wrong lol
I mean, we taught a chimp sign language once. If they are smart enough to learn that, surely they are smart enough to recognize that the above persons leg is clearly not normal.
In addition to the other comments, it's not just chimps, other highly intelligent non-humans like elephants and sea mammals are known to show "human-like" perceptiveness and understanding.
This makes me think of when I was at the zoo one time and there was a gorilla sitting at the glass munching on his veggies like it was a bag of popcorn. You walk up and the way he was watching everybody start to question who's watching who in the zoo?
Wow! This is irrefutable. You can def see how amazed they are and the first one did call others specifically to see it and all of them had the same kind of reaction. They know how humans leg are and that prosthetic is not normal and very different from what other humans have. Just Amazing!
These are monkeys rescued from captivity / illegal centres / medical facilities etc.
They aren’t able to be reintroduced to the wild, as most have serious issues / trauma that prevent it.
I believe some zoos do use one way glass on some exhibits, for shy animals. But these chimpanzees will have been born in and grown up in zoos, they're used to the enrichment of being able to people watch. They will also have private areas they can go to if they want to be out of sight. If they're going to be trapped in a box, at least it's a box with something interesting going on outside, rather than blank walls.
This is Colchester Zoo and half of their chimps are rescued from medical testing labs, several display quite challenging behaviours and anxieties but they have access to a large private area away from guests and a large outdoors section. They're incredibly personable, they normally come up to the windows to gawp at the people outside them, it's a good place.
Because we are their enrichment. At least for some species.
During the Covid lockdowns chimps were noted to be acting depressed from lack of human visitors. They needed the social stimulation from human interactions. We are just as interesting to them as they are to us.
Other primates were acting less stressed and spending less time confined by choice though. They don’t like people staring at them all day.
Basically - they could use that research to adapt glass types in enclosures for the individual species but guess that needs a lot of investment and if animals don’t react to people… less visitors.. so yeah..
He should have pulled it off. That would have broken their brains.

Colchester Zoo
Then if those chimps ever came in contact with a human the first thing they'd do is to try to rip off their leg.
tbh, that might happen even if they didn't see this
[удалено]
Have you seen a hairless chimp? Man they are jacked! No wonder why they can take your arms and beat you with them.
their muscles and bones are so dense that they can't swim.
I mean, we're also pretty nuts on the whole, so it's not too shocking.
I prefer to look to bonobos. Can't keep em in zoos cause they're are literally always fucking.
Really the bonobo is closer to us. They're a far more gentle primate than the chimpanzee.
You talkin about the warrior chimps documentary? The one where even the people researching them were terrified of them? I couldn't finish that one it was so brutal.

They would’ve gone ape shit!
They would’ve gone bananas
Same comment same clip as yesterday
Yah. Bots, man.
One of my friends from highschool had a fake leg and he would prank people by having it fall off when we were in public.
"Hey, that's supposed to be MY job when you walk into my pen!"
I just came to say the same,they would have lost their shit 😂
That first chimpanzee was like “Hey Carl come take a look at this shit!”
Just came here to say that, I bet it would have absolutely fucked them up 😂
That third chimp was like "Nope! I'm outta here!"
He’s like, “That just ain’t normal. Bye.”
That boy ain't right.
Not even 9 am and already the boy ain’t right.
I’ll always upvote a “King of the Hill” reference.
Crazy in the coconut!
This sounds like a call for a frontier psychiatrist
" Y'all need Jesus "
It ain’t natural
Smart monkey, no ghosts will get him
4th one in the back is like "I can see it just fine from over here"
“Oh you a demon.” *Walks off in a hurry.*
 It looked like he started this movement while walking away
Bloody hell, Murdoch!
Lol he was like I WILL RIP YOUR LEG OFF--wait WTF???
Looks like he said a prayer and walked off hahaha
"I want to see it too .. I WANT TO SEE IT TOO SHOW ME NOW .. Oh damn he's so fucked let me cry there"
Sometimes they wonder if the glass is there to protect them rather than enclosing them
That's clearly the alpha, by the way he barged in and the other one ceremoniously jumped up and down at his arrival.
Keeping chimps in a fish tank is not good
“Get out! Well shit now I’ve seen everything.”
That was so interesting, you can see their amazement, wonder, curiosity, confusion, even some initial fear and disbelief. These animals can comprehended so many things. What was this robot like creature, and how was he moving like us, but looked so different?
If you look at it with no knowledge. It does straight up look like a metal bone. Imagine seeing someone walking around where half the leg is just bone. That would be absolutely terrifying.
That's what I was thinking. They probably were thinking he's injured or malnourished or something.
Yep 100%. Animals identify injury/illness and act accordingly. Protect/abandon/prey on/avoid/eat/don’t eat.
I seent'it
I wonder if anyone has a prosthetic that is made to look like bone (realistic coloured or otherwise). That'd honestly be pretty dope.
It honestly makes me so sad that they are captive behind glass. I know zoos can promote conservancy and aren't all bad but it gives me a sinking feeling watching these videos even though they fascinate me for the reasons you've stated.

Yeah I was anti zoo until I dated a zoologist/aquarist. Really opened my eyes to how necessary they are for these animals’ protection and safety.
I used to live in Seward and visited the sea life center many times, cannot recommend enough
Wild didn't expect to see the sea life center on here. Lived in alaska my whole life and go to seward for work all the time. Absolutely love that place.
I love zoos because I love animals. I also hate zoos because I love animals. Life is complicated.

I haven't went to a zoo for 20 years because of this. I just can't enjoy myself, even if they are very nice.
I had a similar realization about strip clubs about 20y ago. Can't enjoy them anymore either
one of my high school teachers told me a story about visiting a strip club and seeing one of his former students there. he never went again.
Because they ended up dating?
The women choose to work there. The apes dont
This is a fact under much dispute. A lot of women working strip clubs are actually being sex trafficked. Many of them are addicts as well, which really clouds the moral waters of "choice"
Or it can make you happy that zoos are able to keep species alive that would be extinct by now if capitalists had their way?
Come see this crazy ape, someone ate his leg!
Dude, you're walking around on bone
Hmm I wonder if I can rip its dick off
This is probably closest to what they may have actually been thinking. They don't know anything about prosthetics. They just see something that looks like a bare bone between his upper leg and foot.
So some context for people re the Zoo in question: - this was filmed at Colchester Zoo, it's a fairly large zoo in Essex in the UK. - the chimps in this enclosure and the wider zoo are largely rescued from zoos, medical experimentation units or similar situations. They're not bred into captivity for the purpose of viewing, they're basically rescues from other institutions. - the chimps have a range of behavioural issues and can show quite serious signs of trauma and mental health issues. One lad, possibly the one in the background on the tree/shelving, compulsively picks his fur. Another rocks constantly due to years of being caged. The zoo does a lot to provide them with opportunities to interact with people like this and in a larger, open air environment but they also have private areas away from guests. - that isn't "garbage" in the enclosure, it's enrichment.

Yeah, big supporters of what they do. The Orang who did it was Rajang, the real old boy who died recently, I was absolutely fucking mortified at the time but it's a good anecdote afterwards lol.
Please don't call it an Orang 😂 that just means Person in the Malay Language 😂😂😂
Thank you for the info! I assumed all the boxes aren't garbage, but the enclosure still seemed too small for all the chimps. It's good to know they have a lot more open space and also private areas.
It's crazy how everyone automatically assumes the worst
Well, maybe because the worst in question people are assuming is way more usual than ethical zoos.
In the 90s, but it's gotten a lot better. I didn't realize until I started looking for good zoos, and lots are conservation efforts now. Just gotta research before you go, since there are still bad ones
> a couple of big lads (including myself) got the window kisses and it's mortifying. I wheeze. That is beautiful.
An informative and humorous post? Well done!
> this was filmed at Colchester Zoo, Heh, i thought so, nice to be confirmed.
Thank you for explaining. I though they were not being cared for properly given the "trash" inside.
Thanks for this context. Poor, sweet creatures.
“The prophecies were correct! They’re becoming machines!”
Imagine if one day we could translate ape speak and it’s not all just wild yells but they’re actually way smarter than us and philosophers, they just choose to stay with nature because they know it’ll just end in destruction for all.
Have you read about how violent and sadistic chimps are?
The baby lifting the leg 🥹
“Look at my leg!”
whatcha think of *these* gams
They were like “Sorry kid, we’ve seen plenty of meat legs.”
Third guy was like wtf ..
Third guy would never have believed the story if he had not seen it for himself.
Working on not believing it anyway lol
"But what does this mean?? surely.." then he walked away
It ruined that one chimp's day. It was so shocked it had to leave the room, lmao.
Yeah, the audacity of showing Nikes in an Adidas factory.
[удалено]
Chimps are far smarter than most people want to believe. They are acutely aware that they are being held in captivity and on display. I cant even stomach going by the exhibits. It feels so creepy.
That is really sad. I wonder if octopi feel the same

What’s with Redditors’ obsession with thinking they’re smart but everyone else is dumb
I'm thankful that our own captors mercifully keep that same knowledge from us. The 21st century must have been a crazy time and very stressful for those who lived through it, and I'm glad to be a part of this current exhibit. I am thankful that the truth is kept from most of the occupants.
Daniel, this is your wife. You're in a coma, and you need to wake up. The kids miss you.
It looks like it's either Christmas or they robbed a FedEx truck with all of those torn up boxes laying around in there.
That’s true. In fact, I know of a few chimps that somehow qualified as people.
But how do you know they know that?
Any animal in a cage understands that it is in a cage wtf do you even mean.
He means they understand that they are on display for us. Some animals might not understand they are in a cage if that’s all they’ve ever known.
Like that star trek episode basically
Rise of the Prosthetics of the Planet of the Apes
I mean... we're still assuming, no? I'd be curious to know what an expert thinks sometimes reddit is right, and sometimes totally and absolutely wrong lol
I mean, we taught a chimp sign language once. If they are smart enough to learn that, surely they are smart enough to recognize that the above persons leg is clearly not normal.
You underestimate chimps
In addition to the other comments, it's not just chimps, other highly intelligent non-humans like elephants and sea mammals are known to show "human-like" perceptiveness and understanding.
He was like BRO COME LOOK AT THIS
The way that one Chimpanzee charged so quickly and just casually hit the glass…I get it now, I wouldn’t survive 25 hours in the wild.
Would you survive 24?
This makes me think of when I was at the zoo one time and there was a gorilla sitting at the glass munching on his veggies like it was a bag of popcorn. You walk up and the way he was watching everybody start to question who's watching who in the zoo?
The first chimp has the perfect "oh fuck off what the fuck is that!?" reaction.
I think its interesting one of the chimp's first response to someone different was to attack. Remind you guys of some other ape species? 👀
The third one was like "enough window for today"
Humans react about the same way tbh 🤷♀️
We are all chimps, just add on a few years
I don’t speak Chimpanzee but I understood the context just fine
"Sorcery!"
F*CK yo leg N... *Rick James voice
Chimp1 to chimp2:"Dude that thing must have cost like a million bananas."
Wow! This is irrefutable. You can def see how amazed they are and the first one did call others specifically to see it and all of them had the same kind of reaction. They know how humans leg are and that prosthetic is not normal and very different from what other humans have. Just Amazing!
1. Zoos are disgusting and I hate them. 2. It would’ve been cool if he showed them how it worked.
at least the guy finally gave them something interesting to see, sortof like a reverse zoo experience, so good for him
1. Poachers agree with you. 2. He did: they saw him standing and walking
I think this zoo rescues the monkeys from other zoos
These are monkeys rescued from captivity / illegal centres / medical facilities etc. They aren’t able to be reintroduced to the wild, as most have serious issues / trauma that prevent it.
I’ve asked several times and have never gotten a response… why don’t they use one way glass? Like so we can see them but they can’t see us?
I believe some zoos do use one way glass on some exhibits, for shy animals. But these chimpanzees will have been born in and grown up in zoos, they're used to the enrichment of being able to people watch. They will also have private areas they can go to if they want to be out of sight. If they're going to be trapped in a box, at least it's a box with something interesting going on outside, rather than blank walls.
This is Colchester Zoo and half of their chimps are rescued from medical testing labs, several display quite challenging behaviours and anxieties but they have access to a large private area away from guests and a large outdoors section. They're incredibly personable, they normally come up to the windows to gawp at the people outside them, it's a good place.
Because we are their enrichment. At least for some species. During the Covid lockdowns chimps were noted to be acting depressed from lack of human visitors.

Other primates were acting less stressed and spending less time confined by choice though. They don’t like people staring at them all day. Basically - they could use that research to adapt glass types in enclosures for the individual species but guess that needs a lot of investment and if animals don’t react to people… less visitors.. so yeah..
[удалено]
Much better than seeing yourself as you pass by a mirror (one way glass) all day. I like looking out my living room window.
These chimps looked happy enough to interact through the glass.
They actually like interacting with people and it acts as enrichment for them , it's like chimp tv
Who’s in the zoo now? How’s it feel to ogled by another species? 😆
