@garotadopinball @roathy_ @wunderswift wait until you hear about what sort of violence humans are capable of. chimps are omnivores and territorial they dont kill for no reason.

@greatninja321 @wunderswift i did hear about the gombe and the recent uganda war. truly fascinating animals with complex social dynamics. makes it all the more tragic he was kept as a pet.

@SlCKASSFOO @wunderswift i didnt know that! id imagine it could have similar results to a primate. in the end it was several factors that caused him to attack i suppose.

@johnwcbragg @wunderswift i didnt mean "socialized" in a "he was taught humans were friends" way. i meant he wouldve never properly learned who is a threat and whos not.

@orangutanluvr67 that mama orangutan is gorgeous

[ibis @eccimen_]

@wunderswift ah every detail i learn about him just makes me sadder. it didnt come to mind it could be a territorial attack considering how hes been socialized with humans.

[ibis @eccimen_]

@TaishouCat @wunderswift was it recent or throughout his life? maybe it finally cumulated later in life considering how bad he was cared for. in the photo too hes doing a distress smile. sorry i dont know much about chimp behavior haha
