The four great apes (minus humans)
More ape facts!
-There are five species of great apes: Orangutans, Gorillas, Bonobos, Chimps, and humans.
- All apes but orangutans and humans live in tight nit groups. Gorillas and chimpanzees typically live in patriarchal troops led by one dominant male. With bonobos, their groups are typically led by a matriarchal system; multiple female bonobos hold the authority rather than one dominant male. Orangutans on the other hand completely, live semi-solitary lifestyles
- Although in the movie franchise planet of the apes bonobos are often depicted as more violent than chimps in the cases we’ve seen them, it’s usually the other way around with bonobos being the chiller of the two ape species
Monkey and Ape studies
I love monkeys
Did you know Chimps’ diets consist of nuts, fruit, insects, and meat? Chimps will hunt smaller monkeys and eat them together occasionally, very fascinating
Dermot Seymour at Kevin Kavanagh
Tonight, I attended the opening of Dermot Seymour's 'The Nine Primates of Ulster' at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Chancery Lane, Dublin 8. The event began with Dermot conversing with Martin Mackin before answering questions from an audience about his work. Afterwards, the atmosphere was relaxed with plenty of chat.
Each of Dermot's paintings featured the portrait of a different species of money or ape. He did not specify any of these species in the titles of his paintings. The faces and eyes of these animals were painted in sharp expressive detail while their shoulders and background appeared more blurred and abstract. I liked 'Primate of Cavan' and 'Primate of Monaghan' due to their compositions. Dermot's show will run until 12th Oct 2024.

Study Group!
Hey guys! I’m a Junior in high school right now. I’m currently dealing with some hard classes and usually I would make study groups with others to help with going over questions, talking about topics, and questioning each other. I would do this with friends but what a surprise I don’t have any! Besides my alone life I am currently taking AP Biology, AP US History, and French this semester. I have two year long classes, AP Environmental Science and AP Research. It would be awesome if someone also taking one of these classes to text me and maybe we can help each other :).
I hope everyone is doing well and good luck in your own classes!
Imagine-
You are an ape living in the ape village and you have a crush on the blue-eyed prince, Blue Eyes. The same goes for him. You, him, Cornelius and Caesar were now on each of your own horses but with Cornelius in Blue's arms. As you lot have now arrived in front of the humans, you get off your horse and go towards them. At first, the humans are quite anxious of what you'll do but as you hoot in a non-threatening way they soon calmed down. They seemed polite, except the one who shot Ash. What you didn't notice, was that Blue Eyes was gazing at you in dreamy and admirational way. He loved everything about you and if he was being honest, he is a bit scared that those humans would hurt you. Blue Eyes was too busy daydreaming about you that he didn't notice was that his baby brother could see the look in Blue's eyes. Cornelius hooted in disgust as he made his way by jumping off Blue Eyes and also wanting to be able to interact with the humans as well. That was when Blue Eyes blushed in embarrassment and hurried off after his baby brother.
Blue Eyes Trying to Impress You would Include:
[GIF not mine]
-Him fishing so that he could amaze you with the amount of fish he caught, but that went terribly as Ash would jokingly make Blue lose his concentration and then start again.
-Blue Eyes bringing you fruits and flowers every single time because he is a nice, cute, underrated baby.
-Ash constantly teasing both of you, ending with both of you blushing mildly.
-Blue Eyes showing off his hunting skills to you when hunting.
-Blue Eyes taking quick peaks at you to make sure you are listening to him when he is venting out his problems.
-You both snuggling up against each other whilst watching the sunset.
-Caesar shaking his head whilst chuckling to himself as he watches Blue Eyes hang on a tree, watching you with a sloppy, lovesick grin on his face.
-Blue Eyes teaching you how to use a bow and arrow.
-Blue Eyes feeling like he is at the edge of fainting because of everything about you.
-Blue Eyes being a lovesick, puppy-I mean ape...
Blue Eyes Finding out You had Been Injured would Include:
-To say Blue Eyes is worried is an understatement....
-He will stay by your side and not leave you for one second.
-Well until the obas force him out, so they can help you.
-Ash will love to tease Blue Eyes about when you two will be mates.
-Blue Eyes will tell Ash to shut up as usual he won't admit it, but he does love the idea of you and him being mates.
-Blue Eyes and Ash will try come visit you but the obas are like: NOPE!
-Ash will still somehow get Blue able to see you.
-Sometimes Blue will get nightmares and will come into your hut with his heart hammering so much, he thought it would burst out of his body.
-But when he saw you were okay, he would come and sleep next to you.
-Blue Eyes can't wait for when you get better.
-Once you do get better, he immediately leaps onto you like a frog and pulls you into a tight hug.
-Blue is here getting emotional with tears threatening to come out, while you are trying to calm him down.
-Blue Eyes even went up to the point where he made a vow to never let you get hurt like that again.
-He is usually the quiet prince but when it came to you, he was all brave and confident all of a sudden.
-Cornelia would full on tease Blue and I mean full on tease.
-Even Cornelius....
-Even our king Caesar-
-And even Koba sometimes-
-Koba was okay with you two being together soon. He didn't care if you were a male. NONE OF THE APES DID! As long as you weren't a human and just an ape.
-Everyone is very accepting there and I mean everyone.
-Don't we all just LOVE and accepting ape village?
-They didn't care as long as you two were happy.
