idk bear attacks would be pretty bad any large cat type attack too also wouldn't like to be bitten by a shark

>>31097 Bears and tigers are strong and dangerous. But they aren't intelligent and cruel in the way chimpanzees are. They will not maul and kill you with maximum force. They know how to inflict the maximum amount of suffering by ripping your face from your skull and bite off your penis and testicles and then leave you to bleed to death.

>>31098 Leopards have been known to kill Gorillas by the second method you mentioned.

Monkeys are okay but I hate apes.

>>31101 All cats have that instinct, you can watch housecats do it with rodents. It makes sense, make the thing bleed and then get out its way before it hits you back

>>31102 What's the difference?

>>31107 What house cats do with rodents is different, they are just playing with the mice, they could kill it whenever they wanted.

I love The Ape of Naples though.

I once saw this dude at the zoo like half my size, no these huge muscles - 'pretty mediocre' was my thought and then he yawned holy shit, his fangs were like my finger in length

>>31126 Baboons are terrifying

> I wonder if this is also how early homo sapiens felt about other types of humans like Neanderthals and Denisovans and that's why they have been genocided. This is literally how many modern homo sapiens feel about slightly different members of their own species.

>types of humans like Neanderthals and Denisovans and that's why they have been genocided. They were genocided? That news to me. They went extinct but I don't think early homo sapiens even had the capacity to be responsible for that even if they wanted to. I think they were curious about each other because there is Neanderthal DNA in us so interbreeding happened.

>>31133 I thought it was somehow common scientific knowledge that this happened.

>>31130 I can do that with my upper lip too but it doesn't look very scary

>>31137 They were outcompeted in evolutionary terms. That's very different from a genocide.

I love spotted hyenas. I wish we wouldbhave them in zoo. They make me feel jolly and comfortable. And they're very docile. Being attacked by spotted hyenas as a human is barely possible. I wonder if this is also how humans in the ice age felt about cave hyenas and if they cuddled and shared food. Lörs thought?

>>31096 > I hate apes and monkeys. I don't like seeing them

I've been using imageboards since 2009 and of all the bad things I've seen upon the Internet, the most depressing video I've ever seen is a nature documentary showing a tribe of chimpanzees go to war with neighbouring tribe. In Terminator 2, John Connor sees two kids squabbling over who shot the other first in their game, and asks the Arnold Terminator "We're not going to make it, are we? People, I mean". Arnold Terminator replies "It's in your nature to destroy yourselves". With all the conflicts that are currently going upon in the world, I'm not filled with confidence that we'll overcome our instincts, leave war in the past, and achieve a utopian civilization. What do you think humanity's fate is?

>>31159 we are warmongering apes, no doubt about it. and we'll stay that way, I guess. but chimpanzees are literally nuts with bloodlust: I've heard a male becoming alpha kills all the others' kids.

>I hate apes and monkeys From chimpan-A to chimpan-Z? Chimps are a wild animal, they're not going to attack you or hunt you unless you do something dumb but when they do they're obviously not going to hold back. That's a lot less dangerous than a polar bear or the animals that evolved to actively hunt homo-sapiens. >I wonder if this is also how early homo sapiens felt about other types of humans like Neanderthals and Denisovans and that's why they have been genocided. This is contradicted both by our own genetic inheritance, the absence of of large-scale human conflict until we started arriving at significant settled populations and the archaeological evidence. There's no mass Neanderthal graves and art depicting war only appears around 5k years ago compared to the 40k that Neanderthals went extinct. >>31159 I figure that the good times always outnumber the bad with humanity which has allowed us to grow and prosper, I suspect we've both spent far more time having cups on tea on the sofa than getting into arguments with people. That and from the other end I don't think we can fall into determinism when it comes to how things will go given human societies are so varied over even generations - it's the famous anthropologist frustration that every generalisation is always undone by some culture somewhere. Robert Sapolsky is a good read on this as a neuroscientist and primatologist - he focuses on baboons and notes that like us we don't really have any predators or stressors in getting food but yet we spend all day tormenting each other and ourselves with the free time.

>>31180 Chimpanzees are naturally aggressive and will probably attack you if you are on their territory. They are smaller than a human but around 1.5 as strong, and operate in tribes. Polar bears are extremely uncommon to come across unless you happen to be in the artic... Are one of the largest types of bears, are strictly carnivores, and are one of the few carnivores that will hunt people.

>>31216 >Chimpanzees are naturally aggressive and will probably attack you if you are on their territory Yep that's what wild animals will do, it's not really a problem so long as you don't spank your monkey in the jungle. If I was hanging around in Africa whenever we want to say human's popped up then I'd be more worried about some big cat or bumping into an infuriating ending to a 00's sci-fi series.

>>31113 Based.

>>31159 Why is that depressing? >>31162 Lions do that too. >>31154 I saw one at a safari park. They are much bigger than I thought they would be.

>>31130 Baboons are demons.

>>31264 >Why is that depressing? It implies that war is in our nature and we will probably nuke ourselves in to oblivion. I mean chimps are our closest living relative, we shared a common ancestor with them 8 million years ago and even back then there was war. It doesn't give me hope that war is going away any time soon.

>>31272 War. War never changes

>>31272 But we actually aren't at war very often and the fact that you(a human) find it depressing means that humanity itself finds war depressing.

>>31274 >But we actually aren't at war very often When was the last decade when there wasn't a war somewhere in the world?

>>31276 The world is a big place.

>>31272 >bonobo historically called the pygmy chimpanzee >along with the common chimpanzee, the bonobo is the closest extant relative to humans >aggressive encounters between males and females are rare, and males are tolerant of infants and juveniles it's not that bad. our parallel closest relative are bonobos. and these guys just make love. seriously, low level aggression apes. so cheer up, Bernd.

>>31287 Bonobos are actually pretty aggressive, like chimpanzees. I think the difference is that chimpanzee society is bully driven while bonobo society is sex driven
