@ken Chimps already fight and cannibolize, so they don't have to be human to do that.

[@CamTheKid]

@@usssanjacinto1 Yeah but chimps are naturally more aggressive than humans, and really any other animal. That's why they're such bad pets. They're extremely strong too, so they can rip your arms and legs off and rip your face apart, all for no reason.

[@MrMaxkingone]

Yeah it is. I'm experiencing it at the activism group Extinction Rebellion.

[@morallybankrupt1461]

This is a perfect representation of our behavior. When things are good and everything’s in excess human beings get along great and are friendly and affectionate to people who are in their circle of life. But when things are bad and everything’s in limited supply we’d steal from our own neighbor to survive. Look at the grocery stores when the pandemic hit. People would take more than they were supposed to which left many people with no supplies. Other people hoarded things and sold them at exorbitant prices. We are truly no different lol.

[@SHCBiddu]

My God They grief for a bat Such beautiful are nature's creations

[@nia.d33]

Pretty massive leap to say its 100% the emotion of a grief they are expressing. I would say curiosity but not grief , thats an intensly human emotion we feel for family or friends we lose. I highly doubt these monkeys are "grieving" for a random creature that dosent even belong to the same sub species as themselfs. But they are gentle and rather pleasant animals compared to some other primates i would say its just their inquisitive nature.

[@janm7163]

Yeah that's what they do when they don't decide to rape and eat the corpse

[@kostasz7z]

Nature is a mechanism and thanking the mechanism is for fools. You have to thank the Mechanic but you fear and hate the idea HE exists. So go ahead and thank nature. Ignorance is bliss.

[@bradlasalle2888]

@@nia.d33 Calling grief an "intensely human" emotion is equally a stretch; there are tons of animal species shown to greive over death or seperation, even for others not of their own species. If this group of macaques had some sort of relationship/interaction with local fruit bats(sharing food or something), they could very well feel sadness for the loss of one to the conditions they all face together.

[@bradlasalle2888]

@@kostasz7z "Thanking" the mechanism is very different from admiring it. There is wisdom in realizing the greatness of things beyond your control or capacity. It says nothing about whatever "ignorance" you may be talking about.

[@leeohmoon231]

how sensitive and affectionate they are towards each other, I watched the other day chimpanzees and they literally killed each other out of hate and anger, this group couldn't be more different, what a lovely bunch :)

[@TheTaterTotP80]

It isn't hate and anger, it's survival. Chimps are not malicious or cruel, they are innocent living beings as all are. But their circumstances are very different. Sadly in their environment they have to fight over food, for survival, fight for their young to survive and prosper etc. The only malicious, cruel creatures are Humans.

[@bradlasalle2888]

@@TheTaterTotP80 How do you rationalize that opposed to other animals? Saying animals aren't cruel is conpletely wrong; you can find videos of deer having their limbs torn off and eaten by packs of wolves and still living for minutes after. Saying no animals are malicious assumes you know every behavior and thoughts of every animal on Earth, which I sincerely doubt. You can argue that they're just going by their instincts and doing what they do to survive, but humans are animals, too. You only live the way you live because of how the generation that raised you lived. If macaques did taxes and worked 9-5 jobs, you can bet their offspring would, too. A lot of people forget that we're just animals toobecause we happen to be intelligent enough to consider ourselves above animals. Humans don't owe the world anything more so than any other species, in my opinion.

[@spanz9538]

TheTaterTotP80 i think that chimps as intelligent as they are do have the capacity to be malicious

[@winterbirds8022]

Some animals are known to kill for pleasure, like one that may kill a bunch of sheep but eat none,yet it is instinctual to chase ,and maybe to them its play? They dont have a concience like humans do. It seems like domestic dogs have a concience though,??? Even my dog tries to be sneaky ,trying to get away with something that it knows is not ok..lol...😊♥️

+TheDpoppop They evolved these traits because of their surroundings: because they have more than enough to share amongst them (plus a seeming lack of natural predators), there's no real need for competition over food, so there's plenty to share.
