For those wondering about this footage, if you search out information on Kanzi by name, you'll find he does do things like this regularly, also makes small tools and plays PacMan. He was brought up around humans and has a large vocabulary of pictograms that he uses to communicate. He truly is that amazing.

[@chaoticantifreeze]

his kid has a deformity that makes his hands more human like so he is unable to swing from trees

[@EarlSmith2469]

Kanzi is cool. I can't stand pan troglodytes but he's a bonobo bonobos are cool as hell. He attacked Sue's boss Sue's boss was yelling at her and berating her and kanzi saw it he told one of the researchers that the researcher needed to bite Sue's boss. The researcher refused. Kanzi then told him that kanzi himself is going to bite her boss. They didn't take it seriously. At the end of the day, kanzi went into her boss's office and bit the shit out of him. Sue had gotten fired later on no one really knows why but I know that kanzi biting her boss didn't help things

[@GumbaverianX]

[@peppercorndog]

@@EarlSmith2469they handled this so poorly. I was curious about what happened to Teco (Kanzi’s son). A fourth gen bonobo raised in captivity - had a lot of potential. But the one video of him I found on KZbin was depressing. I have a suspicion that things went downhill rapidly after they fired Sue. When pushing boundaries, you really need people with a belief so strong that they seem crazy. Then 10 years later, it becomes common knowledge what they knew back then. It’s how humankind (or apekind) gets pushed forward.

Shows just how intelligent they are. Sadly there are less that 20,000 bonobos left in the wild. For those that don’t know, the bonobos, or Pygmy chimpanzees, are the same size as chimps and actually have longer limbs but are more slender than regular chimps. Not sure where the ‘pygmy’ part fits lol. They are far more gentle than their chimpanzee cousins. They do not engage in infanticide or cannibalism, they don’t hunt monkeys, rather they play with them and groom them. Amazing, beautiful animals.

Kanzi is a female Bonobo at the Iowa Primate Sanctuary. Studies on her and her family are ongoing. I recently saw the full documentary on BBC and these creatures are amazing! She does eat the marshmallows, drinks some water out of a water bottle afterwards and then pours the rest of the water out on the fire to put it out! She also has a vocabulary of over 500 words (none of which were swear words) and picked out the foods she wanted to take on their picnic that day as well as asking for her son to join them. I could have watched it for hours. Fascinating!

He's too cute, look how happy he is. 😭

[@spike4561]

Just gonna play this on loop the rest of my life

[@manthasagittarius1]

As long as they also get him a bucket for water and teach him how to put it out . . .

[@mjrah11]

Only you can prevent forest fires, said the bear to the ape

[@barisharmanci318]

Actually he does put the fire out! There's a footage on KZbin showing kanzi taking a good sip of water out of a bottle before tossing the content into the fire... that is crazy!

[@SeriouslyNotNormal]

i love his smile

[@R3d1100f]

Not sure how others feel about this but I kinda think this is one of the most amazing things I have ever witnessed in terms of advanced thinking in the animal world. Sure they probably have been exposed to making fires and roasting marshmallows for who knows how many years but the ability to do it in in them....inherently. I was blown away by the look of joy in the ones eyes. This is mind blowing to a simpleton like myself. Truly amazing to witness.

[@carolinawestern3875]

I'm glad Kanzi's cool & peaceful. Like all bonobos. Now if this had been Travis, all pissed off & high on Xanax. He'd have burnt the house down and roasted marshmallows.

[@skywriting33]

And they listen to Bob Dylan! That's amazing! :P

[@Stibsart]

Apparently, Orangutans prefer Acid Jazz.

[@skywriting33]

Haha! Cute :)

[@TheDanglenation]

skywriting33 what Dylan song is this I can’t figure it out??

[@perrin6]

that was another bonobo playing the harmonica in the background with a third doing the filming !

[@AnimalLover-si5nf]

perrin6 You are hilarious I love it 😂

[@AWSAM335]

Bonobos are chill af

[@patrickhlavinka6364]

It would be revolutionary if the bonobo was taught how to effectively create fire. As in with a bowdrill or using stones. Then see if this knowledge would be passed on.

[@chris200830]

+Patrick Hlavinka it doesn't have to be with stones or bowdrill, they can pass it on through matches.

[@keeganmoonshine7183]

This is how you get bonobos starting forest fires lol

[@edd868]

Lookit that smirk when he gets the fire going. He's excited for those tossted marshmallows

[@swamp5050]

OMG, get him a gas stove set of pots and spoons so he can cook a proper meal for his family!

[@x5132]

AWWWwwwwwwwwww......... so damn cute

[@judipodgurski5083]

OMG !!!!!!! What an amazing and WONDERFUL thing to witness !!! Being able to witness the evolvement of another primate species is terribly exciting to me. We are all so much the same. I only wish that I could be a part of it, first hand.

[@Rick-Sanchez-C-137]

The Narrator was also a Bonobo.😆

[@blancslate176]

He was given the power of man's red flower.

[@cadelea8354]

Next thing you know, he'll being starting a marshmallow business 😊

[@1lovetheocean]

who gives marshmallows to our wild friends?? they do not need to be poisoned into our stupid behaviours...

[@user-ru5cf8uf5p]

Absolutely amazing.

[@zRoyland]

This is so freaking cool !

[@thatcoolkid367]

Imagine humans evolve to the point we leave earth. Monkeys would be the next people of earth

[@kjp1232]

Humans have damaged the ecosystem environment and atmosphere beyond repair we will be gone and the earth will bake like mars did before we get to that stage.

[@Peter_1986]

I am convinced that apes are the most intelligent animals in the world after humans; to me, they even beat dolphins, elephants and corvid birds, and those animals are themselves super-intelligent.

[@LoveAndPeace2004]

No shish sherlock, we (humans) are also apes so that's neither shocking nor surprising
