Chimp, Bonobo, Gorilla, Orangutan, Siaman-The Great Ape

Video Title :	Chimp, Bonobo, Gorilla, Orangutan, Siaman-The Great Ape
Description :	The video shows a comparison of the 4 great apes and the gibbon. The Chimpanzee, Bonobo, Orangutan, and Gorilla are considered the great apes and the Siamang and Gibbon are among the lesser apes.The gorilla is shown probing for food, a common behavior of the gorilla. *The Chimpanzee -Chimp or Common Chimpanzee- (Pan troglodytes) is the species, with the bonobo, considered the most closely related to humans. They can weigh up to 155 lbs and stand up to 4 feet tall. Like people, they have long lives. For example Cheeta, the star of the movie, Tarzan, is 75 years old. They are native to Africa and four subspecies exist. They are highly intelligent, make elaborate use of tools, and can use language. A chimpanzee named Washoe learned up to 800 signs in American Sign Language. Researchers into chimpanzee language include Sally Boysen, Ohio State University, (who has taught chimpanzees to communicate using a computer), Noam Chomsky, and David Premack. Although chimpanzees are shorter than most people, they are much stronger. The average Chimpanzee has over 5 times the upper-body strength of a human male. A chimp, even a young one, can easily overpower a grown man. The Bonobo, also called the Pygmy or Gracile Chimpanzee (Pan paniscus) belongs to the species (with the common chimpanzee) that is most closely related to humans. Its DNA is 98% identical to that of humans and some researchers think they should be classified with the human species, i.e., Homo paniscus. Bonobos have relatively long legs, a matriarchal cultural, and are generally considered frugivorous. They often walk upright and have a human-like appearance. Frans de Waal, one of the leading primate researchers, has stated that the bonobo is capable of empathy, kindness, altruism, and compassion. E. Savage-Rumbaugh and Roger Lewin have extensively studied the ability of the bonobo to learn language. Kanzi has learned over 3000 spoken English words and around 400 lexigrams. He can understand simple grammatical sentences and possibly invent new vocal sounds. The bonobo is also an accomplished tool user. Many consider the bonobo to be the most closely related of all animals to people. The bonobo has been presented as a stand-in for what human ancestors of only a few million years looked like. The bonobo is remarkably intelligent. The gorilla (gorilla gorilla) is the largest of all living primates. These African apes are divided into two species and 4 or 5 subspecies. Their DNA is 97-98% identical to that of humans and they are considered the next closest relative after the chimpanzee. Gorillas can be over 6 feet tall and weight over 500 lbs. They are highly intelligent. Some such as Koko have been taught a subset of sign language. They use tools for a number of purposes. Colo in the Columbus zoo is over 50-years old and the first gorilla born in captivity. The Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) consists of two species of great apes native to Indonesia and Malaysia. They have orange/reddish hair and long arms. They are the most arboreal of the great apes and each night they fashion nests in which they sleep. They can grow to almost 6 feet tall and weigh over 260 lbs. Like other apes, they are remarkably intelligent. They use tools regularly. According to researcher, James Lee, orangutans are the world's most intelligent animals other than humans. They have great learning and problem solving ability. Some think they have greater problem solving abilities than chimpanzees. They demonstrate language capability, can play computer games, and have a complex culture. **The gibbon, a lesser ape, lives in the forests of southern Asia. They mainly live in trees and are Black, beige, and sometimes Black with white facial hair. They sing loudly in the morning in a chorus of very loud whoops and shrieks. They are called the lesser apes because they differ from the chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos, and orangutans. In the early morning and late afternoon pairs of gibbons sing duets. The female sings the major part of th song knows as a "great call." It begins with melodious whooping and climaxes in a high pitched babbling. The male gives simple hoots.

I just read a book called Hurt Go Happy about a deaf girl who befriends a man who owns a baby orphan chimpanzee who can do sign language. It's a really good book- but so sad. apes are so amazing... Genetically, they share 98.4% of human DNA.

You forgot one species of great apes: humans.

great apes ..where's the human ape;)

Bonobos are a species of chimp. Humans, gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans are the four great apes.

Fantastic descriptions on the side. I find it incredible that even though our DNA is very identical, human minds have developed much more than the other apes. I'm hoping to work with them in my future.

ooo what a beutiful little ape. very cute and smart. it is facist to think that ape is different to a human.

Man is considered to be one of the great apes.

Siamangs are in the family Hylobatidae, which means they're gibbons.

omg this the worst thing i ever saw this is madness and i should know i'm 11 and older peopel just like things that are mean to animals

Where is Washoe? Not one video of her in youtube!
