It would be funny if the camera panned to the right to reveal the harmonica and acoustic guitar were being played by two other bonobos.
Jimmy Patterson 😃😄😂😂😂
Too funny!
Like Rango :D
Or two Republicans.
hahaha
For those wondering about this footage, if you search out information on Kanzi by name, you'll find he does do things like this regularly, also makes small tools and plays PacMan. He was brought up around humans and has a large vocabulary of pictograms that he uses to communicate. He truly is that amazing.
his kid has a deformity that makes his hands more human like so he is unable to swing from trees
Kanzi is cool. I can't stand pan troglodytes but he's a bonobo bonobos are cool as hell. He attacked Sue's boss Sue's boss was yelling at her and berating her and kanzi saw it he told one of the researchers that the researcher needed to bite Sue's boss. The researcher refused. Kanzi then told him that kanzi himself is going to bite her boss. They didn't take it seriously. At the end of the day, kanzi went into her boss's office and bit the shit out of him. Sue had gotten fired later on no one really knows why but I know that kanzi biting her boss didn't help things
bro literally played minecraft
@@EarlSmith2469they handled this so poorly. I was curious about what happened to Teco (Kanzi’s son). A fourth gen bonobo raised in captivity - had a lot of potential. But the one video of him I found on KZhead was depressing. I have a suspicion that things went downhill rapidly after they fired Sue. When pushing boundaries, you really need people with a belief so strong that they seem crazy. Then 10 years later, it becomes common knowledge what they knew back then. It’s how humankind (or apekind) gets pushed forward.
''does do things'' ?!
The first diabetic primate
we are primates, Bradley.
Fuck, oh yeah, beside us.
Son.Idk what to say
Bradley Hook He won't get diabetes, he will burn it fast. They are very active animals not like the average American who sit in front of the TV after work and eat pizza cookies and ice cream every night.
Animal Lover EVERY. NIGHT.
He's so natural at it lol
There's a bakerXderek! Probably does a better job than me at making a fire! Lol
This proofs that Bonobos and Marshmellows developed side by side.
Baker!
WTF, bro you here too. Cheah! But you are right, really makes one realize how close humans and apes
CHEAHHH!!!
Lol I died laughing when the bonobo went to take a bite, and it was too hot, so they gently touched it with their lips to test it! So relatable.
Why can't we all be like this Bonobo? Just making a fire, toasting marshmallows and chilling.
Because we're smarter than those
현서박 define smart? what is smart? being smart and got you killed is not a ultimate smart. I hope i made sense
Crichjo32 To be them means to give up everything you own right now and own fire, marshmallows and the ability to chill. That means losing TV, internet, high intelligence and billions of things human has discovered.
Crichjo32 Am sure that is not all he does. Survival and living are not about chilling.
Crichjo32 And who would create the matches, the marshmallows and the tools to get wood?
I just watched an animal knowingly and actively preparing to cook and then cooking because he knows it tastes better cooked….my mind is blown.
motherfucker is using matches! I thought he was going to bang rocks together using his monkey strength to make sparks n shit.
though he was going whip out his zippo
Well, looks like he's smarter than you might have thought. He probably distributed the matches himself.
lol yup
It is a sign of evolution. Everything you know, you didn't just know. You had to learn it. It wasn't one day nobody knows how to make fire, next day everyone just knows. The fact that their comprehension is growing is a form of evolution.
what... understanding fire, something that is not innate to them, isn't a sign of evolution. sure thing pal
The intelligence of our fellow primates is incredible. Allowing them to go extinct (which is likely if present trends continue) would be an unimaginable tragedy.
6 years later and we are still losing more of them, that's not good :(
I say rise of the planet of the apes
Yes. Unfortunately people don't recognize that they are part of the earth, not it's masters. It's a shame how we kill our cousins in the wild and destroy the natural world like cancer destroys the body.
@@cainen6355 it's also crazy how we humans view ourselves so highly yet most the stuff we do are worse then what happens in nature
@@nobodyhere6902 Indeed. We think ourselves to be superior to nature but in reality we are just part of it. I think we are indeed made for great things, but should remember the world that sustains us and makes all our ideas and visions possible. Without the earth we die as well. We currently. unfortunately behave more like a parasite than a symbiont. I just hope we'll realize and change our behavior before we have poisened the last see and cut the last tree down.
If they figure out how to make s'mores... game over.
Deep Ashtray Hilarious comment 😂
Deep Ashtray but will they learn to make chocolate? I think not... they will still need humans. They who control the chocolate control the world!!
beatrix the great the chocolate will kill them
Deep Ashtray Yeah, then they start to steal white women
@The 4th Komodo Yup, just a question of time before Planet of the Apes will be revered as prophesy.
Ceaser is home
*Caesar
Tsar*
czar*
Caesar ape no more. Caesar human.
😂 yup
0:30 wow. look at the concentration AND anticipation AND contentment in that Bonobos eyes and face as it prepares the fire...AMAZING
IT'S NORMAL. NOT SURPRISING. YOU SHARE %99 OF YOUR D A M N DNA WITH HIM.
Now he just has to find a marshmallow tree in the jungle......
And matches or a lighter ;)
Great Video! However I dont like that its always either close up to his hands or close up to his face. It looks fake even if its not.
@@KZheadr-dq3ko is it?
KZheadr it’s not
@@KZheadr-dq3ko it isn't. Just look for "monkey makes fire" and you'll find the "documentary" eventually.
@@KZheadr-dq3ko Go ahead. Prove it.
@@KZheadr-dq3ko May you please explain how this is fake?
and this is how wildfires truly start
Birds of prey have been observed spreading fires by taking burning twigs from one area to another and hunting prey animals that flee the resulting fires. I wonder if non human primates have done similarly.
Just so crazy how close they are to us! The way he breaks the branches, starts the fire! So human like! 😮
His face expressions are incredibly human-like; you can see exactly what he is thinking.
If that were a chimpanzee it would have taken the marshmallows and attacked the researcher when it tried to get it to do anything or to reclaim the marshmallows. Big difference between pan troglodytes and pan paniscus. Bonobos rule the world of apes I estimate their intelligence at 10 times a normal chimpanzee
@@Peter_1986 fr tho
@@Peter_1986my god it realy hit me the second time😂
Why are people so surprised when apes do human-like things as if they aren't are closest living ancestors lol
I love the fact that he was also playing the harmonica. So talented.
oo is too hot OO is too hot still
Exactly what I thought lmao
Hahahahaha
lmao
Kanzi looks like he's had too many marshmallows already. Somebody needs to teach Kanzi how to do some sit-ups.
He actually looks like most human campers.
This is cool, but I wanna see the uncut footage.
Thanks.. i searched on youtube "Kanzi the bonobo" for the "uncut footage" took me 2 min, and he did also blow my mind..
Floppyy Fall Link??
Rabi Sulaiman please just search "Kanzi the bonobo"
It was on the BBC the other day, looking at all the primates & their amazing behaviour, free to view in UK on BBCi player.
justletmesigninokthx just being on the BBC doesn't make it immune from criticism.
Wow! And the look of utter happiness on his face is amazing.
WTF? Did we really have to give dude marshmallows? What next? "Bonobo necks cola and chows down corn dogs".. "Bonobo self-monitors for type 2 diabetes"?
"bonobo review of -insert trendy artist's album name-"
One pack of marshmallows won't hurt him. Until he starts going to the store lol
dude, do you really think eating one pack of marshmallows will immediately mean "boom diabetes, you had one marshmallow in your entire life, clap clap"
Yep. JOIN US!
It is really disgusting. They have overfed this animal (Kanzi) and the other Bonobos for YEARS, not to mention with high sugar foods and things that are unnatural and otherwise unhealthy for them. These Bonobos are morbidly obese and several have died young. This Bonobo, Kanzi, is easily DOUBLE the weight he should be. Just google "adult Bonobo" to see how overweight he is. Anyone that thinks this making of fire and eating of marshmallows is a one time thing is clueless. He's been trained to do this over many years.
He looked so proud immediately after lighting the fire :)
He's smarter then most people I know. Love you Bonobo
I was watching it, completely forgot they were primates and then half way through I realised and was blown away
Bendyman Scratch-Poland Wow that's awesome, I'll check it out
Humans are primates.
What coulve it been a dog 💀
Um, youre a primate, so I dont see your point.
He has fire he knows what he possess that’s why he smiles He sees the power that comes from it It started a mental change in him
I just smoke a blunt im High
@@collpolp high and dumb jigga he literally was taught
@@Paredinho1 😂😂😂😂😂
Bonobos are a real treasure.. Never fights, smart and a lover not a fighter
I've watched all his videos on KZhead, he amazes me everytime. He's so gentle and adorable 💞
Kenzi is she.
0:46 100% human expression lol
Unbelievable! Even being cautious seeing if it was too hot! That’s unreal they’re so smart…
Huh. Well... Now that a Bonobo is better than me at making fires, I guess there's not much left to do in life.
This Bonobo is officially smarter than 75% of the Americans.
Fuck Google+ That seems a bit too high don't you think?
Fuck Google+ I just saw an American claim that non Westerners are not self aware before 6 yrs age....
I'm sure you include yourself in the other 25%
Most chinese are never very self aware at any point in life, because they are more like mindless drones than individuals.
@@michaelqiu9722 ?????????????????
It is absolutely incredible. A very intelligent creature indeed!
I like how he's careful not to burn his mouth on the hot marshmallows! ❤
Bonobo in 50 years: lives in society and try to destroy all monkeys memes.
it's Kanzi, he can cook ramen noodles and other things with instructions. This isn't anymore fake than you cooking some eggs in the morning after you've been taught or were watching a youtube video on a way to do it.
Human: *spends 5 years gooing and gaaahing and throwing up on themselves and 15 more years having to learn things from their parents and other adults to be able to do even basic human tasks* Also Human: "Lmao monkeys can only do things by imitating people they've seen, they're not intelligent enough to come up with new procedures or actions on their own" Also yeah his other videos are really interesting. I got really invested in his Pac-Man game lmao.
@@AlexanderRM1000 humans discovered fires without imitating others......
@@jakelawliet3584 A handful, possibly one single human or group discovered fire once in history, quite likely by seeing a burning tree that had been hit by lightning and figuring out they could spread it to other pieces of wood. All other humans since then have learned from previous generations of humans who learned from them and built up our knowledge of fire from generation upon generation of *very* slow experimentation.
@@jakelawliet3584 Let’s give them fire and we’ll be the equivalent of Prometheus to them!
@@juanjoyaborja.3054 lol good idea, I'm curious to see how much they will evolve
Kanzi is a female Bonobo at the Iowa Primate Sanctuary. Studies on her and her family are ongoing. I recently saw the full documentary on BBC and these creatures are amazing! She does eat the marshmallows, drinks some water out of a water bottle afterwards and then pours the rest of the water out on the fire to put it out! She also has a vocabulary of over 500 words (none of which were swear words) and picked out the foods she wanted to take on their picnic that day as well as asking for her son to join them. I could have watched it for hours. Fascinating!
Male bonobo
TSE Morto Sorry, you're right - male.
Please link!!
I can do that too
+ever lol
+ever lol
lmfao!
You were brought up right.
happy for you (pri) mate!
whats most fascinating to me is how far he keeps the stick from the fire at 0:52
WTF how you gonna end this before the bonobo even take a bite. BBC you are some fucken saveages
Maybe it isn’t actually a bonobo. Maybe it’s a man who successfully returned to monke.
Huh
SO CUTE WHEN HE SMILES 🥺🥺
I don't know why, but this makes me feel kind of emotional. Like looking into a mirror of ourselves in the past.
quite literally
I am so impressed of how skilled bonobos are, wow! 👏
I wonder what would happen if chimps were just left to evolve without human intervention
It would take very long tho
Well... Do you have about 2 million years to wait for the answer?
They would still be dominated by the numerous other non-human hominids who inhabited the earth, such as Neanderthals, I imagine.
Well, technically, neanderthals *are* human. We interbred with them and carry portions of their DNA.
***** You could say they are of the same species, but a different race of humans. Actually if other hominids survived, it means higher collaboration between the different races. It could mean 2 things: 1. completely different human traits due to interbreeding; and 2. the monkeys would possibly not stand the competition and become extinct in their place.
the beautiful and lovely music makes this scene look so nice : )
I wishbi could just chill with him. Just eating marshmallow, looking at the fire with ape bro, sitting and laying, watching at the night sky upon the stars.
Dude, I want to go camping with him! :D
me 2!
LegendKiller1fan Me too better than human beings who won't shut up and let me hear nature in peace while eating my marshmallows 😂
We should protect her
Now I get the "9 out of 10 forest fires are caused by humans"
Romeh XDDD
Pretty damn impressive. Sure, he didn't use a bow drill, but knowing how to build a fire and use "tindertwigs" is still a valuable skill.
That's a person! I don't care what else you say... that truly is a person!!
No
Just screamed the house down laughing. Collecting firewood. Matches. Roasting marshmallows. Too much 😂😂
Years after and still one of the best videos ever
What if humans are actually time travelers who went back in time, forgot who they were, and is now watching their own ancestors, the Bonobos, learning to use fire that they taught to them?
what the hell are you talking about
Amazing, the first milestone of man, now being reached by other species. Imagine what else they will accomplish on their journey to sentience, and further after!
As long as they also get him a bucket for water and teach him how to put it out . . .
Only you can prevent forest fires, said the bear to the ape
Actually he does put the fire out! There's a footage on KZhead showing kanzi taking a good sip of water out of a bottle before tossing the content into the fire... that is crazy!
Impressive! His confidence with fire...O__O
did anyone else notice how he touched the marshmellow with his lips to see if it's hot or not ?
he? did you not see her tits or somethin?
Kanzi is a male bonobo. It's in the first sentence of his wikipedia page and nearly any article mentioning him.
He/she so relaxed ❤️😔
He.
That was intense. Loved it so much ! And the music 🎵😍💕❤️
Do you know the name of the song its bothering me now 😂
@@geordiemcdonald7722 found it yet?
Look at his facial expression before he eats, he knows it's hot and is cautious.
Namu Barbu Yes best part of the clip 😇 Priceless moment a very smart creature of God.
@0:39 there is a smile of anticipation over the food. I can relate to that. :D
What a wonderful clip showing Kanzi's intelligence and humanity.
And they listen to Bob Dylan! That's amazing! :P
Apparently, Orangutans prefer Acid Jazz.
Haha! Cute :)
skywriting33 what Dylan song is this I can’t figure it out??
that was another bonobo playing the harmonica in the background with a third doing the filming !
perrin6 You are hilarious I love it 😂
He's blazing some of his finest herbs later.
He looks so damn happy and satisfied
they're EVOLVING!!!
i love his smile
This is so amazing..!!
This is breathtaking!!! I love it.
The various expressions that we see on its face creep me out. especially at :30. I can't help but think of Beavis going "Fire! FIRE! Hmmhmmheh!"
This is so freaking cool !
Pretty cool how he can imitate human behavior so well.
Thanks for sharing this, I will follow up with looking at more of the source material.
Just gonna play this on loop the rest of my life
OMG !!!!!!! What an amazing and WONDERFUL thing to witness !!! Being able to witness the evolvement of another primate species is terribly exciting to me. We are all so much the same. I only wish that I could be a part of it, first hand.
OMG i love this so much! I love watching how Kanzi uses their hands... so different yet similar to us.
@@Cara.Mia. ?? ‘Their’ is a gender neutral determiner... and bonobos don’t have human constructs of gender identities...
Well, You think Using hands is Surprising? WE ALL ARE PRIMATES, DUDE. CHIMPS AND BONOBOS, ORANGUTANS, GORILLAS, GIBBONS, ALL APES CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT USING FINGERS.
@@briganjaAnd Also, Female Chimps wear Grass as Earring.
He's too cute, look how happy he is. 😭
Absolutely amazing.
AWWWwwwwwwwwww......... so damn cute
Kanzi taught himself sign language when they showed him videos of Koko! He did it on his own, and surprised them with his knowledge of signing later. That's something I think even humans would find somewhat difficult to do.
?!
humans self teach themselves all the time lmao. Stop giving dumb animals too much credit.
Babies learn to do that all the time lol
Lmao 2 year old me did that every single second with an ease
@@jakelawliet3584 "dumb animals"? Lmao, bonobos are one of the most intelligent animals in the world
This is hands down my favorite KZhead video!
He will be robbing liquor stores next
Now just give them a brush, paint, and canvas, and it will paint a fireplace. Lol but really, how wonderful it would be to someday communicate through complex beyond-verbal ways to another species, it's great to see the bonobo species show its intelligence, and it's great that they are peace loving creatures unlike chimpanzees otherwise we'd be in real trouble.
We can already communicate with them through sign language.
Damn. That's crazy. He even has a job and a car that gave him the ability to purchase the matches and marshmallows from his nearest grocery store. Evolution is amazing.
OMG, get him a gas stove set of pots and spoons so he can cook a proper meal for his family!
Fascinating and funny at the same time😂😂
Bonobos are chill af
0:35 this bonobo really is exactly like us, because his safety habits are horrible LOL. I like that the bonobo seems to enjoy the whole experience in exactly the same way I do.
Well, He Hold the stick when he was 60-70 Cm,Or One Meter Away from fire.
Adorable!
Wow! That’s something you don’t see everyday. Very interesting. Thanks for this video.
Wow he's just like us when we we're chasing after mammoth's with clubs and spears lol
slightly earlier than that
@Demonic Soul it's a fact! our ancestors a few million years ago were very similar
@Demonic Soul well from the bones you can see where the muscles were and so on, thus, how they looked like (faces are easily reconstructed from the skulls, for example); in fact australopithecines like Lucy - our ancestors 3-4 million years ago - were just like bonobos but more adapted to walking upright than living in the trees
It would be revolutionary if the bonobo was taught how to effectively create fire. As in with a bowdrill or using stones. Then see if this knowledge would be passed on.
+Patrick Hlavinka it doesn't have to be with stones or bowdrill, they can pass it on through matches.
This is how you get bonobos starting forest fires lol
I lovr bonobos man, they are always smiling and intellegent!
I have to wonder just how much abuse this wonderful creature had to endure in order to learn how to do this to its keepers satisfaction.
Да у меня в деревне тракторист тоже так умеет делать...да и выглядит так же (если честно я сначала подумал что это он).
video 1 min total time spend recording 2 hours
Same could be applied for movies. They spend months or maybe even a year for a 2 hour film. :P
Well no shit idiot. That's how film production goes. Whats your fucking point?
Neightlive that i could film it in 2mins not hours =]
Clayton Lee years* Same can be said about your dinner. Some can take hours to prepare and only matter of minutes before it's down your neck into your tummy! :D
Years*. I was basically making an analogy to what eleszar1 said. Lol
Simply amazing!
2 seconds in and I’d already liked the video 😂👌🏾❤️
