(Not so) fun story: in the 2000’s a woman in the states owned a chimp named Travis. Travis was raised by her since he was an offspring and he was a good friends to the cops and could even drive (he also caused a traffic jam. One day his owners friend had his Stuffed Elmo toy and he attacked her, and mutilated her face (it’s fine now but the old photos are online. The owner stabbed him with a knife and even bashed him with a Shovel but he kept going but he eventually gave up and went to his Cage, where he slowly died. It’s also worth noting that she gave him anti-depressants Made for humans.

We are apes, I've shown my teeth in aggression before, and so have you. Apes aren't some dramatically different species, they're Hominidae just like us, and you can trace these shared behaviors among ape-like species even before they became apes.
It's the wording of the question as if apes are seperate that us, that is driving me crazy here. You could literally replace when apes smile with when humans smile and nothing changes in the explanation given. we are apes. We are monkeys. We are animals, and of course another type of ape besides us is gonna do things similarly if not exactly the same.

Genuine question: animals have been going extinct in cycles since the dawn of time. Why do we always fret so much about animals going endangered/extinct Like of course its sad and there’s changes to the surrounding ecosystems. But why is it necessarily a bad thing when its been a regular part of life on Earth since literally forever, and everything has always worked itself out. Is it just because we can measure it happening now, and we know that we are part of the reason

A lot of people seem to forget that humans also show their teeth as a sign of aggression. When you're really angry you can feel your upper lip curling to expose your teeth the same way other animals do. Humans also smile and wince, which also exposes teeth but shows completely different emotions, so why would it be different in other, similar animals

I think information on Bonobos is systematically being suppressed. I’m not exactly sure why, probably so we won’t realize there is a peaceful great ape led by females. But who knows. It just seems like nobody has even heard of them.

It's pretty sickening the way humans consume animals even after the animals have been driven into the endangered lists. Money doesn't talk; it poisons and enslaves weak minded fools.

Other ape experts say the opposite, that the bite force of gorillas is never used in fighting, because they almost never bite each-other

The question regarding the smiling pops up in my head some times, because of The Wild Thornberrys. Funny to see it as the thumbnail
