@@SanguiniCore - take a moment to learn the details of that story and not just throw bits and pieces of it around to stir up drama. The lady herself medicated the chimp with her (human) psychotropic drugs at a dose never meant for a chimp. We have school children flipoing out from taking these as for one, they were NEVER meant to be taken 24/7/365 and many humans do. The human was responsible for the tragedy that took place and as a result her chimp was put down, her friend killed and she has had to undergo multiple operations to try and restore her face. NOT the animals fault.

Ethiopia, the land of our ancestors. Geladas are the last surviving species of ancient grass-eating primates that were once numerous. Geladas are found only in the Ethiopian Highlands. They are the smallest vestige of a genus that millions of years ago stretched from South Africa to Spain and into India, and there is no other animal like them.

[@DrKarmo]

Odd, due to their appearance I thought they were a type of baboon

[@jt866]

Wow the chatting they do. Extraordinary fascinating. I would love an Ethiopian bible to read to change the subject but heard this is probably one of oldest Bibles in the world and none like it .

[@mmalaika]

@@jt866 Yes, Ethiopian Bible is one of the oldest and it contains books that are not included in the English Bible. The Latin Bible was edited by the Romans and some of the books were taken out. Ethiopian Bible contains those books that were in the original Bible. It is written in Geez, which is a defunct language just like Latin. A language which is closely related to Hebrew and Aramaic languages that were spoken during Jesus time. And we use our own alphabets which are only used in Ethiopian and Eritrean. If you look at my name, it's written in Geez alphabets and it means Michael. Peace
