I volunteered at a zoo marketing department for a while, but by weird coincidence got to share the bus home with the animal care crew, they were very nice people, very open to chat and share photos and stories of the wild animals. I once asked them which animal was the one they had to be most careful around, expecting the answer to be tigers, all of them in unison agreed: never be alone or distracted in a room with Chimps.

From seeing videos of zoo keepers or animal workers at reservations and stuff, play with tigers, giving belly rubs and having such trust with sn animal, i can picture why a chimp would be their option to be careful around.

This isn't to offend the other animals but there's a reason why you can't treat a human like a pet, and the smarter the animal, the more attitude that'll come with knowledge. Only problem is that chimps, while intelligent, are emotionally not unless you _really_ dedicate your time raising it. At least with humans it wouldn't have the power to rip your face off when you try teaching it morals, chimps have the power and they _know_ they have the power.

I think what is so scary about the Travis story is that whenever you hear about for example somebody getting mauled by their "pet" tiger it's because the tiger was rough housing with their owner and just didn't know their own strength. If a tiger wanted to actually kill them, they would done it easily. Travis not only wanted to kill that woman but wanted to drag it out and make it as slow and painful as possible.

Can't help but wonder how the feud started. If it was a simple issue of limited resources, chumps will usually just break off into smaller groups and ... you know ... leave. Maybe compete for a couple years before one group's dominance is secured and THEN one of them leaves for greener pastures. That time? Nope. It suggests some kind of legitimate *disagreement* on something (probably resource distribution or the breeding situation). And THAT indicates a level of cultural development in Chimpanzees that I am simply not comfortable acknowledging as even a possibility.

Sooooo I got a chimp throwing things story. Many years ago, I was visiting a zoo and went to check out the chimps. They had a fairly nice(for a zoo) open enclosure surrounded by a moat. Two girls standing next to me thought it would be funny to toss ice cubes at the chimps. I was going to hollar for a zoo keeper, but then the largest chimp started tossing TURDS at the girls. They ran away screaming, then the chimp looked at me with a "hey you're cool you can hang" expression and he settled back down.

Given the assumed intelligence level and observed level of social complexity chimps display, I imagine it is many orders of magnitude more complicated than that.

Then when it was isolated and brought into their own territory, they killed it. He ended it by saying that some theorized that since the chimps encroached onto the other group’s territory to lure the young chimp out and that resources were not scarce, it may have just been something they enjoyed doing. 🤯😱

New chimp ended up loosing a few toes after being jumped by the gang but what really stuck to me was that the alphas in these groups were like bouncers for the facility if shit got too rough and bloody they would funnel the alpha of said group wherever he was at during the scuffle to said scuffle and let him break it up... keep in mind a healthy alpha standing on two legs reached almost 6 feet in height well over 200 pounds .

remember Jane Goodall witnessed and documented a literal war between two chimpanzee tribes in Gombe, the Kasakela and the Kahama, the Kahama were actually seperatists of the Kasakelas. this resulted in the entire male population of the Kahama getting torn to shreds and the females kidnapped by the Kasakela. the result was what land the loser tribe did have, got annexed by a bigger chimpanzee tribe called "The Kalande Empire" which made the entire war pointless, fun fact the Kahama were technically at peace and even traded with the Kalande. so Kasakela got their shit pushed in by the Kalande.

[@pisces2569]

The fact that Travis’s owner still advocated chimp ownership after Charlotte’s mauling pisses me off to no end. She took away a newborn chimp away from its mother and raised it in such bizarre circumstances. These circumstances led a testosterone-ridden, extremely strong chimp to have aggression issues to become so aggressive that it attacked people twice and needed Xanax to calm it down. Yet that medication only upped its anxiety and lead to his death and the near death of Nash. Travis was not the exception to the rule. He was a warning against chimp ownership!

When she was found she was strapped to a chair as that was where she spent most of her days. She was never toilet trained while in the care of her biological parents. When CPS finally rescued her she had no idea how to speak. At all. She could use grunts that was it. She couldn't really walk in a bi-pedal fashion. She was taken to a team of specialists/researchers who were able to help rehabilitate her to a point. They learned that at a certain point in development, if not given normal speech contact, the brain will not develop how to use /speak in sentences. She could learn words and could understand simple sentences but could not make her own. To top all of this off her mother somehow still had legal custody of her and the courts, despite the mountain of evidence of the progress she had made and the conditions she was rescued from. Her mother had removed from probably the 1st ppl ever in her life who treated her literally as a human and not some rabid animal, and her put into a group home for the mentally r-word (as that was what it was still called back then) and the researchers were legally denied from seeing her again.

THere had been at least one documented case of a chimpanzee (born in a zoo in captivity) who was able to drive a motorbike _in everyday town traffic._ He was a male chimp named Henry who lived in a zoo in France, in the 1960s/70s. David Taylor, a British veterinarian who specialized exclusively in the treatment of semi-wild animals living in captivity in zoos, circuses and marinelands, related a meeting with Henry in his autobiographical book _Zoo Vet: Adventures Of A Wild Animal Doctor_ (published 1976). Taylor wrote how he had been called to France to treat a dolphin who was suffering from an unknown illness, and when he arrived at the airport, he was told "Henry will take you there"... only to see a big male chimp on a bike, wearing shorts and a cap, who regarded him with indifference. He was told to ride shotgun behind Henry, then Henry took off... perfectly balancing the bike, stopping at traffic lights with idling engine, and all traffic cops in town (that was in the 1960s) knew Henry and greeted him and directed traffic to make way for him. Taylor wrote that was the weirdest ride he ever had. He was nervous because he had never ridding a motokbike before, so he did all the thinks terrified newbies do like leaning into the wrong direction in curves... but Henry balanced that bike perfectly, he worked the clutch, he navigated calmly through traffic and clearly understood traffic rules; unclear if he could read signs or if he just knew the route, but he had clearly understood the verbal order to take the human to the dolphinarium, so he knew where places were and what they were called. (Much like sheep dogs and seeig-eye dogs for the blind.) [quote] David Conrad Taylor, BVMS, FRCVS, FZS, was a British veterinary surgeon. He was the first veterinary surgeon to specialise in zoo and wildlife medicine. Taylor worked with zoo and wild animals from 1957, acting as a consultant on the treatment of some of the rarest species on Earth. He was world-renowned as an expert in marine mammal medicine. In the mid-1970s and early 1980s, Taylor wrote a popular series of autobiographical books that charted his life and experiences as a "Zoo Vet". [/quote]

Also doesn't have to deal with a greedy studio, digging into his pockets and making him force out content faster, and lowering the quality. He's better off as an independent creator here. Social media is now the biggest and still the fastest growing media form in the world... TV/cable has went the way of the radio.

I had a chigger infestation when I was little and it was one of the most miserable times of my life. What isn't mentioned here is that they like to attack the sweaty, warm areas (such as the groin and armpits), that's where they like to reproduce, and a infection of chiggers can last for weeks. My sister and I were basically wearing nothing for almost two weeks and I still have scars from them and fire ants. I wouldnt say that "I hate chiggers" out-loud, but trust me when I say that they are nearly worse than fire ants, if fire ants weren't actually deadly.

[@cozmicdoodles7167]

I'm almost positive Chiggers are what attacked me when I was camping years ago. Your description only furthers my suspicion because I have NEVER been bit like that (and in those areas) by any other bug before. Almost every square inch of my body had been bit (specifically waist down) and it SUCKED! Lasted for weeks and I was absolutely miserable. Never want to get bit like that again.

I have chiggers in my yard (like everyone here!) I’ve learned to treat them the same way I eliminate tics, as I also have deer tics, which are vectors for disease. I cut pieces of PVC into 3-5” pieces, then place a cotton bud with pesticide (effective for both species)on it within the tube. Place in routes mice and voles travel, cover with a bit of yard debris and mice will use it as a safe way to get from one place to another. The mouse or vole brushes against the cotton ball, getting pesticide on its coat. Once in the nest, the mouse rubs the pesticide on its young, and all over the inside of the nest. Mice are the most common yard vermin and the carriers of lots of parasites, particularly deer tics and chiggers, which the pesticide kills once on the mice. Getting rid of all the mice is unlikely and poison will kill cats that people allow to wander, so use the mice to kill off these horrid creatures. This way, one reduces the chance of the dog bringing tics into the house (which will seek you out and crawl up the bedding to find a juicy meal, then pass on Lyme disease). Save yourself, your children, and your pets from Lyme disease. Remember, only ~50% get the bullseye rash erythema migrans. So stay healthy and remember that mice love to use the base of barberry bushes for their nests and humans like to plants then around the house. Both species use the spines to protect their homes, but one species carries the adult stage of deer tics and chiggers, then releases the nymphs in the spring and autumn to spread disease or itchy hell. Pesticide can be your friend. One bottle of pesticide will last the entire neighborhood forever, cheap and smart way to avoid Lyme disease.

“Here’s why you should never give a chimpanzee Xanax” that sounds like the beginning to a bad joke

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

here might be some explanation as to why travis got so angry and aggressive '' Toxicology reports confirmed Sandra's statement that she had given Travis Xanax-laced tea the day of the attack, which could have exacerbated his aggression.[37][38] Xanax is a short-acting, potent anti-anxiety drug that can cause disinhibition and disorientation and occasionally paradoxical reactions of hallucination, aggression, rage, and mania in humans.''

[@That_Doctor_Del_Fella]

He essentially had a bad trip from the drugs and went ballistic.

A chimps ability to throw things should never be underestimated. I once read a story about a vet who was task with tranquilizing a chimp so he could treat some kind of condition that made it go half-made with pain. The chimp was in a cage that has one wooden side. The vet used a blowpipe to shoot a tranq dart through a knothole in the wood. The chimp pulled out the tranq dart, turned around and threw it back through the knothole, hitting the vet in the face and coming only half an inch short of taking his eye out. Their hands may not be quite as dextrous as human hands, but their reflexes and hand-eye coordination are crazy good.

They also are far stronger than us, if you use ammo and cause it damage not enough to impair it, be sure that if he hits you with it, the damage will be much worse.

You didn't get the worst part about chiggers. They will get you no matter how much clothing you wear AND their favorite spots are the tender skin of the groin. They will also get the soft skin on the back of your joints, but they REALLY love the groin. It's also a horrible itch much worse than a mosquito itch. I know all this first hand. My house is next to the woods in the southeast US.

[@momentomori1747]

They can be effectively repelled using powdered sulfur, though. If you have to go into the woods applying it to skin and clothing below the knees can help keep them away.
