5:22 "Koba acts very un-bonobo-like"
*Wielding a machine gun riding horseback*
That's sooooo un-bonobo like
That just shows how f'ed up he got in that lab. To me that makes his character more intriguing. A naturally peaceful animal that was abused so much it turned into a brute.
Ahhaha
@GRAPHENE IS IN THE MASKS, SWABS and PCR TESTS!!! Bro stfu, you just one the prize for the dumbest conspiracy theory
@GRAPHENE IS IN THE MASKS, SWABS and PCR TESTS!!! It's mocap, dumbass, not a rubber costume.
Koba being an hyper violent bonobo is a real testimony to how much suffering he must have been through before meeting Cesar.
...Or just bad writing.
@@themenagerie5247 bruh. What even is good writing anyways? Without suspension of disbelief every single story ever told or written is completely bonkers. Nowadays real life doesn't even seem real.
@GRAPHENE IS IN THE MASKS, SWABS and PCR TESTS!!! can't you and @ty the guy enjoy or appreciate things?
@GRAPHENE IS IN THE MASKS, SWABS and PCR TESTS!!! The character isn’t even a person in a rubber ape suit.. it’s a CGI animation based on motion capture. What are you talking about? You’re going after somebody when you have no clue what you are talking about yourself.
i never knew Koba was a Bonobo
Chimpanzee: The violent
Bonobo The Chill guy
Gorilla: The Chad
Orangutan: The Wise guy
Human: The Crazy one
Gorilla Chad...
That is definitely a new level.
Humans have all those traits though
Human : The Main Enemy
Human..the planet destroyer
Chimps are impulsive, not violent.
Me at 11PM: I need some sleep
Also me at 3AM: mm yes monke
😂😂
Makes me wonder what happened to all the monkeys. I bet they all died in the zoos because no one was there to feed them
Downfall Hitler monke
The fact that bonobos are generally passive goes to show just how badly those scientists treated Koba prior top the movie for it to make him as aggressive as he was.
Yeah, and the whole massive experimentation on their brainpower and emotional responses probably didn't hurt the change 😂
Lol ratas
i was going to say the same thing.. i feel its shown pretty clearly that koba is the way he is because of his upbringing.
or how little the writers knew about apes cause it's just a movie
Wait are you serious
Me: I'm bored
Wired: Here's a video about all apes in the Planet of the Apes franchise.
Me: Interesting.....
Literally
Cool story
me rn
Plizz listen to ''Via Vallen - Sayang'' !!
This is how everything on the internet works... What was the point here?? What were we to learn??
I love the fact that the dominant male gorilla takes in orphans. I didn't know that. Reminds me of a video I saw on CZcams of the big, dominant gorilla in a wild troop enjoying some quiet time cuddling with a couple of very small juvenile gorillas. It's so freaking adorable.
I'm pretty sure I saw the same one, it was awesome.
mind sharing the link to the video
@@nur-gw5po i think he's talking about this vid czcams.com/video/w5ZXH1VkILY/video.html
You should see the female orangutan who drives a golf cart around the preserve (by herself mind you and better than most humans )… sometimes she even brings her buddy, a dog, along for the ride. Someone set her driving to The Sopranos music and it’s absolutely hilarious. Especially when she drives by the tiger cage and speeds up and gives the biggest FU smirk of all time.
Her name is Rambo and they even got her a new electric vehicle that looked so cool. Their intelligence is amazing !
@@marquisdelafayette1929 I have seen that! I go back and rewatch it every now and then. She's got one hand up holding the roof like a dad driving to the next golf hole. It's amazing. Orangutans are my favorite.
Koba in the movies, pointing out scar after scar, saying "human, human, human" was really heartbreaking. :(
Fun fact: Orangutan is an abbreviation of "Orang Hutan" Which literally means, *people of the forest* in Indonesian.
or to be exact, jungle folks.
Ya
@@lil_jong-un6668 that, or forest men, yeah we got the picture hahah
@@ardi.wibowo oh it's similar to utan in hiligaynon (one of the Philippines languages) which means vegetables
So interesting
Yeah my mom taught me that when we lived in indonesia
She was really fluent in bahasa indonesia
Orangutan is solitary, peaceful, non aggressive, intelligent, and the most fury among great apes that looks like cape -- Dude, Orangutan fit perfectly into the old wizard/guru/Jedi archetype.
yes, i feel that too. in movie he take a role as guru in group. because he only caesar mate who have same intelegence as him. he is act like adviser for caesar. it make me chill to the spine about their interaction. also maurice is borneo orangutan
In the wild. When the weather is raining, they take some of the branches and leaves and use it as an umbrella... And there is one orang utan that copied human washing clothes using soap
In the Discworld books, an orangutan wizard is a librarian.
He was human once, but was transformed in an accident. He refuses to turn back.
On contrary, after humans, male orangutans are the most violent and territorial creature in Borneo. It's a strong reason why they're solitary.
i love orangutans!!!!!
In the films, the human DNA in the retrovirus not only affected their intelligence, but also caused some small morphological changes. This explains why they were able to speak and walk upright more comfortably.
It's fiction
@@joshuataylor3550 Yes. And I described what happened in that fictional story.
And it is a logical explanation too! The whole point of the virus was to reverse Alzheimer’s and the way it degrades every neural part of our body. So it probably has the ability to restore motor control and speech abilities, since they can be lost under the affects of the disease. So the idea of human-like animals without such degradation getting this boost and being able to walk better and be able to start talking isn’t too insane
@@Daniel-Strainchefs 👨🍳👌. I’m late but that reply was chefs kiss 😂😂😂
What a ratio@@joshuataylor3550
The way she said that orangutans rely a lot on fruits does break my heart, knowing that the deforestations are still massively happening in Indonesia, esprecially in Kalimantan/Borneo.
OrangUtans also eats small insects like butterflies and termites.
They're almost gone in Borneo anyways, it's gonna be just Sumatra pretty soon.
Excellently informative! My one quibble is that Koba wasn't meant to be a typical bonobo, but one who had been tortured so much and so often that he lost his essential nature--underlined by his demise when Caesar says, "Koba not ape."

I didn’t know about this book, would you recommend it?
@@nohandleXD Absolutely!
@@nohandleXD its kinda trash tbh
5:38 bonobos literally being like, "make love, not war" 😂
Koba fits so nicely into the slot of "Beautiful Evil" his actions are totally understandable and his hatred is pure for justifiable reasons, so much so that he's not entirely wrong in his assumptions; with the third film basically proving his point. One of the best antagonists ever put to screen.
He is a masterpiece

I LOVE Maurice. His relationship with Nova makes that 3rd movie SO good.
I just introduced my boyfriend to the trilogy before we see the new one... He became very emotionally invested in Maurice.. almost teary when he was going into the cabin to discover the little girl: "oh no, is something bad going to happen to Maurice? 🥺
the fact koboa is a bonobo i think adds more to his character. it shows how much trauma he went through, to change a normally peaceful species into a murderous villain
I could've listened to the full 14 minutes just talking about orangutans. Love them!! 🦧❤️
I actually “adopted” an orangutan and get updates on a cute one cared for by the BOS foundation in Indonesia and get updates on her progress frequently. I highly recommend it because they get many orphans and the contribution through “adoption” allows them to pay for the caregivers, the food, and the medical staff. Many of the orangutan also get released into protected areas after they are taught essential life skills. Good luck! I hope you find a great orangutan to adopt!
Maurice is my #1 character in the movies. lol
I love all apes, except Chimps.
Chimps wake up and choose violence.
@@hadrian270 omg I love the bos foundation
@@thankuslay6766 paan si
Bonobos are the origional "I'm a lover, not a fighter" and i can dig that
They were even nicknamed hippie chimps for a reason decades ago
my memory is absolutely shite, as far as i was concerned i was watching this vid for the first time, scrolled down after seeing the bit about bonobos only to find I'd already said what i was going to say
7:56 Bonobos when a mild inconvenience occurs between them and another Bonobo
As a spaniard it really shocked me to hear her mention Snowflake. According to my mom, people were very sad when he died. In spanish his name was "Copito de nieve" which does indeed translate to snowflake, but the cuteness of the original name is lost when you translate it. The name would be better translated as Little snowflake, or Small snowflake
I like how human changed both kobas and ceasers natural instinct. Kobas a bonobo who tend to be gentle, was tortured by human all his life and became violent and dangerous. While ceaser a chimpanzee who tend to be violent and dangerous, was raised by humans and became a caring leader.
sadly in reality, when a human raises a chimp like a human, well, things don't usually end up well... for the human especially...
I believe they explained Koba’s atypical behavior in the movie. He had severe PTSD, which he acquired during his time living with humans. He showed no sign of aggression until the humans appeared.
I think she was just explaining their natural selves
@@jessop5125 yes, that's why I said his “atypical” behavior.
@@Reggy2000 Ah, I thought you were comparing him to the other apes in the movie. Sorry!
@@jessop5125 No problem, I should have written my first comment clearer, but I tried to keep it short.
@@Reggy2000 Don’t be silly it’s alright (:
This video actually made me more interested about great apes.
Learning that male gorillas adopt the little ones that lose their mom, feels good man.
The CGI still really holds up. This is personally my favorite trilogy but I still have a lot of love for other trilogies but this one just really clicked with me.
It holds up because these movies are recent, it's not like they came out in the 90s
@@bopmoo 100 percent. But I’d argue war for the planet of the apes is still the best looking cgi film still and that’s been out for 5 years. It’s all a matter of opinion of course.
@@bopmoo someone actually pointed me to this video on cgi and why it doesn’t potentially look improved in some cases. It’s really interesting

This video has some really good and funny editing, also really informative
This is really neat to learn about so thank you for your time in explaining the differences
This woman needs to be hired in future movies, her knowledge can provide the films with a lot of accuracy and facts to learn.
She wont make the movie exciting and produce multi millions. She’d make the movie an ape documentary that would have a few hundred thousand viewers😂
@@elijawashington3522 Funny right? Every Movies and Shows need one or other type of assistance in basing their lore in reality. Like why would they hire physicists in Interstellar (okay it's a different sci-genre which needs to be accurate to be believable on scenes though gets my point across)

Company: hire some expert
Also company: dont listen to the expert
@@wryly8762 Atleast original Jurassic PARK movies tried their best and acknowledged where they were wrong. World on the other hand
I swear this trilogy needs to be talked about more, it’s one of those times where prequels are as good and arguably better than it’s predecessor film. And also Serkis’ performance as Caesar is spectacular.
One of the best trilogy of films for sure
The fact that gorillas take care of kids that aren’t always their own. So sweet 💜
Maokey
Simps
After killing the father. So sweet ❤
this suddenly got me interested in studying about these great apes.❤️ how beautifully she explains!!
Yes, the trilogy may be slightly unrealistic in terms of communication, behaviour etc… however, in the trilogy they’ve had the R-12 drug! They won’t act exactly the same as real life apes. Ceaser grew up around humans and so picked up much of the behaviour and habits of those people, which he then passed on to his tribe of apes.
Great video though! Interesting to compare the movie’s apes to real life ones.
Plizz listen to ''Via Vallen - Sayang'' !!
Yeah they were genetically engineered apes. Colliding science fiction with real zoological fact is the idea in these films
that was my first reaction too
"well duh they don't act like wild irl apes, they are all high on NZT" lol
As other commented have said, Koba’s atypical Bonobo behavior actually enhances his character because it indirectly demonstrates just how poorly he was treated by humans.
So, she’s not saying this movie should’ve done more research. She’s discussing how real life apes are similar or different to these movie counterparts. There’s a lot of people that would probably go and see these movies and assume that all apes act like Caesar and the others. She’s disputing this and telling us how they would really act.
Today years old when I found out Silverback isn't a species of Gorilla.
I found this documentary so fascinating I learned so much. Thank you

Eight species of great ape (Hominidae), the smartest group of animals in the animal kingdom:
• Sumatra orangutan
• Borneo orangutan
• Tapanuli orangutan
• Common chimpanzee
• Pygmy chimpanzee (aka, the bonobo)
• Western lowland gorilla
• Eastern lowland gorilla
• and us, anatomically-modern humans.

Good commentary. I'm looking for a palaeontologist talking about all the micro adaptations that were required to allow our last common ancestor with chimps / bonobos to develop into us. Not just brain size, but also brain organisation. The multitude of adaptations to make large scale sociality possible. Changes to the hyoid bone and bones of the inner ear to allow us to make human speech sounds and to hear them accurately...

In such cosmic civilization term, apes should be our second cousins if humanity got destroyed or demolished by sort of advance alien civilization.
Apes are always my type of humanity.
Agreed that these amazing creatures need to be protected. Although, they are not our cousins.

“They’ve been seen trying to use sticks to stab bush babies” *googles bushbabies* 😭😭😭😭
It's only the females that so it because the patriarchy of chimp society refuses to share large game with the females.

This really helped me understand myself thank you
Ironic that the villain Koba of the series is a bonobo, which are the most peaceful of great apes.
Unlike all the other apes in the films Maurice knew sign language and how to communicate with it before he was even infected by the virus.
Subtle way for them to show how intelligent orangutans are.
I genuinely thought this video was OLDER!!! But then, she mentioned TAPANULI ORANGUTAN!! Boomed, yes, mindblown! I love all the descriptions in the video and how informative you sound. Thank you

So for this Universe, here are the roles:
Chimpanzees: Skilled Workers, Food, Gathering, Scouting, Workforce
Bonobos: Governing, Settling Disputes
Gorillas: Warriors, Law Enforcement
Orangutans: Teachers, Record Keepers, Skilled Workers and Tradesmen
What about humans?
Its funny that Rocket, being the more hostile and antagonistic character is a bonobo, a usually more docile ans friendlier great ape.
No Koba is a bonobo, rocket is chimp. It's possible that rocket maybe similar to a hairless chimp.
But I get what u mean.

When King Kong was set in Vietnam. I think he should have been re-cast as an Orangutan type ape, not a gorilla. The largest great ape ever is the Gigantopithecus, found in southern China and possibly in in Vietnam through to Thailand and Indonesia. Gigantopithecus was closely related to the Orangutan
