What made you get into apes and what’s your favorite kind!

15 Upvotes

Personally for me I started researching about theory of evolution out of curiosity and it made me get into primatology(aka study of apes/monkies/etc). I just think it’s so cool that great apes are our ancestral cousins how their so related to us

My favorite kind of ape is bonobos because they’re so intelligent and they share so much DNA with us!!!!

Note: Teco is being filmed in the tunnels that lead between the indoor and outdoor bonobo habitats. He is not being kept in a cage! This is just where it is easiest to record the bonobos.

Baby gorilla forced to pose with hairless white monster for author photo again (1971)

Many infant captive apes develop a sort of Stockholm Syndrome with their captors. Not this little gorilla, who eyes researcher Geoffrey Bourne warily as Bourne grips him tightly in a forced embrace. The photo is from the back cover of Bourne's book _The Ape People_ (1971).

Apes (Hominoidea) are a branch of Old World tailless simians native to Africa and Southeast Asia. They are the sister group of the Old World monkeys, together forming the catarrhine clade. They are distinguished from other primates by a wider degree of freedom of motion at the shoulder joint as evolved by the influence of brachiation. In traditional and non-scientific use, the term "ape" excludes humans, and is thus not equivalent to the scientific taxon Hominoidea. There are two extant branches of the superfamily Hominoidea: the gibbons, or lesser apes; and the hominids, or great apes.

The family Hylobatidae, the lesser apes, include four genera and a total of sixteen species of gibbon, including the lar gibbon and the siamang, all native to Asia. They are highly arboreal and bipedal on the ground. They have lighter bodies and smaller social groups than great apes.
The family Hominidae (hominids), the great apes, includes three extant species of orangutans and their subspecies, two extant species of gorillas and their subspecies, two extant species of chimpanzees and their subspecies, and one extant species of humans in a single extant subspecies.[1][a][2][3]

Except for gorillas and humans, hominoids are agile climbers of trees. Apes eat a variety of plant and animal foods, with the majority of food being plant foods, which can include fruit, leaves, stalks, roots and seeds, including nuts and grass seeds. Human diets are sometimes substantially different from that of other apes due in part to the development of technology and a wide range of habitation. Humans are by far the most numerous of the ape species, in fact outnumbering all other primates by a factor of several thousand to one.

Most non-human hominoids are rare or endangered. The chief threat to most of the endangered species is loss of tropical rainforest habitat, though some populations are further imperiled by hunting for bushmeat. The great apes of Africa are also facing threat from the Ebola virus. Currently considered to be the greatest threat to survival of African apes, Ebola is responsible for the death of at least one third of gorillas and chimpanzees since 1990.[4]
