practice makes perfect
The chimps were not dancing, or playing. They are clearly pissed. The "dance" and noises are ways to say "this is our territory, not yours, back off". Throwing the ball is an act of aggression, but since nobody took a clue he made it even clearer with poop.
For more sociable interactions between humans and other apes check this video ("Human, you have you baby! I'm going to show you mine!").
Yeah…..don’t monke only throw poop when in captivity and in destress/under-stimulated?
Yup, basically. They'll throw whatever they have near them at you; and this is just my guess but I think that they have enough of a theory of mind to think "I don't like poop smell so you don't like it either".
I also feel like the time when the other guy grabs the cage he was trying to find a way out, to get rid of the annoyers.
Nothing will beat the vid where it lands on the wheelchair lady's nose
That video is 14 years old and I'm just now seeing it. What a gem you dug up, OP.
Good shit
That was masterful!
