If people knew more about chimpanzees, they'd be right down there with bears and elephants. I would 100% prefer to take on a wolf or a kangaroo, taking Aussies at their word about how insane roos are, over a chimp. The chimp probably has just as high a K/D as the bear or elephant, but it's going to teabag you while wearing the face it ripped off your skull before you go out.

Kangaroos do this move where they try to kick the balls off their male opponents. No thanks.

Still better than a chimp

have you seen their nails? their kick can easily disembowel you.

[โ€“] boaratio@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I have. It's terrifying.

Or disemball you in this instance.

At the same time people also murder the fuck out of chimps with fairly primitive tools and have for a long time, what chimps really got on us is that crazy murder energy that you only really see in humans with the aid of PCP. Wouldn't wanna fight one but in theory its about equivelent to fighting an unbelivably pissed off human.
