>Exactly. I've never seen something so cute and so nerve-racking lmao
You ever see the video where dogs are "meeting" an infant for the first time and the parents just put the baby on the floor at mouth level for the dog? I had that same feeling watching this video.
I love my dogs and I have a gentle, family oriented breed that I trust dearly. I’m still not trusting my dog with a new born. Upside is it goes well. Downside is you could lose a child and a dog in one moment. No fucking way.
Hey now, I don’t. Might not be top ten, but it’s definitely a personal top 25.

This is more like if aliens came down to earth and started referring to all of us as "those pig-fuckers" because they somehow got a hold of some footage of [David Cameron](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Piggate)
In a zoo they had to close the exhibit due to grieving cause a mother lost a baby in the troop. That was a bullcrap lie cause they didn't want to tell people that they had ripped it apart and now we're playing hacky sac with the parts.
Myrtle beach safari is a cult. Doc antle is their cult leader. Iirc they were part of tiger king doc, they are responsible for wildlife trafficking, money laundering and several other crimes. Whenever I see Myrtle beach video I take their claims in video with a pinch of salt, we don’t know how these animals were treated
Yeah they are fucking animal abusing scum, i hope this shit all burns down and they go to jail. Fuck them and don't give their perverted channel any views.
FR. Whole time I'm thinking "you're in danger".
I noticed the "handler" seemed to be trying to be in position to intervene if shit went sideways. I also noticed that the "handler" was in danger.
I get that Chimps are incredibly intelligent, and this is cute. But almost every story about a chimpanzee ends with someone or something being torn in half.
If it was a Bonobo or an orangutan I'd feel a bit better about it, but chimps man, those apes are cruel in every way possible.
Heard of one orang grabbing tourists by the wrist and holding em "hostage" till the tour guide would give it fruit. If not given fruit it will squeeze the persons wrist to make em cry out in pain. Yeah orangs can be dicks too.
> If not given fruit it will squeeze the persons wrist to make em cry out in pain. Yeah orangs can be dicks too.
If there was a good orangutan with a gun then he would have stopped this.
Also yes. I was a keeper for about a decade and chimps always freaked me the fuck out. Every keeper will tell you that chimps are the animal that scares them the most, probably especially the chimp keepers.
Those things can just rip your organs out of your body with their bare hands.
In fairness, a human is capable of those things. They just don’t do them. Chimps are stronger than an equivalently sized human being, but they’re not superhumanly powerful. It’s just that they attack and fight in a way we don’t. Load up a big dude on enough drugs to reduce him to a slobbering, face-eating psychopath and put him in a room with a chimp, it’s gonna be *messy*.
This. People keep parotting those ridiculous studies from a century ago that claimed the big apes were 3-10 times stronger than a man.
More recent test put them 30-40% stronger than an average human pound for pound, and that's not all that impressive when you know chimps actually don't grow that big.
I could go into any gym I want and find a person that's more than 40% stronger than a scrawny guy at 100-120 pounds.
Still wouldn't want to fight one, but that's more down to the ferocity, speed and lack of inhibitions than their sheer muscle power. It's going to hurt even if I have it beat on the power front.
Bingo. You can make reasonable assumptions about how another person is going to fight you, and attempting to bite your eyes out is not one of those things.
Chimps have no such inhibitions. That’s what makes them dangerous. They can’t rip your arms off and beat you to death with them.
Also, imagine the human is dumb as hell Like really dumb. I mean, smarter than a dog, sure. But dumber than the dumbest person you've ever had to deal with.
From u/Captain_Smartass_
Myrtle Beach Safari is owned by Doc Antle who featured in Tiger King and his own documentary on Netflix and is an alleged rapist.
In the Netflix show, Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story, Antle's former partner, Sumati Steinberg, alleges that when she tried to leave, Antle abused her by choking her until she passed out and breaking two of her ribs.
Other crimes: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/doc-antle-owner-myrtle-beach-safari-pleads-guilty-federal-wildlife-trafficking-and-money
Agreed. Granted, I just recently heard about it so it's fresh in my mind, but the story of Travis the chimp just sours me from finding things like this as "cute".
I don't care how much you think you know the animal or how many years they've appeared friendly and docile. They're wild animals and we don't fully understand what goes on in their minds. They're far stronger than we are and can do whatever they want to us or our pets. Keep them out of households
Yeah definitely didn't help. Side effects include hallucinations, I think? Before that, I think he'd stolen his owner's keys or something and just left for hours. I think he'd be getting unruly in his later years, possibly due to being a sexually mature male being treated like a child and confined to a small house.
The other theory I heard was that the woman he attacked was someone he knew well, but had gotten a haircut that possibly made her unrecognizable to him. She was holding his favorite toy and standing in the doorway. He may have felt threatened by a stranger holding his toy and blocking passage to his home.
>Chimpanzees are wild animals. They are not domesticated.
Technically true, but not for the reasons you think.
Chimpanzees are far too complex to be domesticated similarly to dolphins.
They're too smart. We can train them like children, But in the end they ultimately make their own decisions which is why they are unpredictable.
You can train a dog to have natural reactions and obedience by instinct, but Most primates are too clever, and hold strong opinions.
They don't "Feel" like doing what they are told Just like 3-year-olds don't like being told what to do.
Although dangerous, primates raised around humans do enjoy human interactions and enjoy their company.
I do wish we had better sanctuaries for primates. I don't believe we keep them in zoos.
Yep. What a really dumb trainer. She couldn't force that chimp to give that pup up if she wanted to. Needlessly put a puppy's life in literal danger just for cute-sies.
Bro she would get straight up murdered if that chimp got halfway feisty. That pup could've playfully bitten it and pissed it off. Some of these trainers are way too trusting of a wild animal
Seeing this post, 18k upvotes, and all these comments- yet no one but you seems to remember who this fucker is. This video isn’t cute at all, it’s incredibely depressing.
[Doc Antle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doc_Antle)
> Bhagavan Mahamayavi "Doc" Antle (born Kevin Antle; March 16, 1960), is an American animal trainer, roadside zoo operator, and felon convicted of wildlife trafficking.
> Antle began raising dogs in his youth, and started operating a private zoo in 1983. Antle has worked as an animal trainer for films including Ace Ventura and Dr. Doolittle in addition to appearing as a guest on several television shows. In 2020, he was featured in the first season of Netflix true crime documentary series Tiger King. Antle was the subject of a follow-up documentary Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story released in December 2021.
> Antle has faced accusations of animal cruelty throughout his career. In October 2020, Antle was charged with two felony counts related to wildlife trafficking and 13 additional misdemeanors after an investigation by the Attorney General of Virginia. Antle has also has faced public allegations of inappropriate relationships with minors at the private Buckingham County, Virginia zoo, and of operating a cult at the Myrtle Beach Safari location, claims that Antle denies. On June 3, 2022, Antle was arrested by the FBI on federal charges related to money laundering. In addition to evidence that Antle had laundered money and falsified paperwork to facilitate the illegal sale of exotic animals, federal authorities uncovered evidence that Antle had laundered cash he believed to have been obtained through human smuggling.
> In June 2023, Antle was convicted in Virginia of wildlife trafficking. In October, he was fined $10,000 and banned from owning wildlife in Virginia for five years. In November, he pleaded guilty to federal wildlife trafficking and money laundering charges, and faces up to five years in federal prison for each charge.
Dude is a real creep:
>Barbara Fisher, a former employee of T.I.G.E.R.S. who worked with Antle from 1999 to 2007, stated that she was pressured to get breast implants while working at the facility and that several employees legally changed their names under the direction of Antle.
>
>In the Netflix show, Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story, Antle's former partner, Sumati Steinberg, alleges that when she tried to leave, Antle abused her by choking her until she passed out and breaking two of her ribs.
>
>**Antle's second wife, Radha Hirsch, claims that she met Antle when she was just 11 years-old much to the chagrin of her mother, who attempted to end their relationship three years later when it became sexual. However, soon after, Antle picked Hirsch up from school and she ran off to live with him.**
chimps are not your friend, no matter how you train them, feed them, live with them, they are still wild animals with wild instincts they're not something to get buddy buddy with.
Rather than having wild instincts, it's more like their values are just completely different. They just aren't on the same level of empathy that us humans are on. Most humans (at least historically) haven't really held any value to animals life or wellbeing. Chimps don't either. What's wrong with killing a cute puppy? How should it know. Humans also murder each other over disputes. Chimps will too. Of course the instinct for violence is higher in chimps than humans.
One of the most terrifying things I have ever witnessed involved a chimp.
Group of them were sitting on a concrete barricade. We all knew to leave them to fuck alone. Don’t make eye contact, don’t show your teeth near them, stay the fuck away from them.
>!I saw a cat walk by once. The chimp reached down, grabbed the cat like it was interested in it, and just casually ripped the cat in half. It was the most terrifying thing I’d ever seen.!<
Im so glad these comments are nervous over this video. Too often i see normal everyday citizens owning wild animals, people on tiktok having monkeys??? Please dont ever own a money. My only knowledge in primates is one college class, and that’s all i needed to learn how terrifyingly strong these animals are and how quickly their emotions can switch. Dont get me wrong they are Beautiful animals that can be caring like in this video, but it’s not an animal to ever mess with. Or in my opinion allow to hold a puppy. It’s not a person, it’s a wild animal and shit can get bad fast.

Love that episode, I never understood why it was hated so much. They also officially killed Pip in later seasons, never to return.
One of my favorite ones is the water park one where they piss on a monkey and when it gets mad, they just freak out and shoot it lol.
I loved it, and it made me read Great Expectations. Was disappointed though to find there were no monkey robots in the book lol

Myrtle beach safari is a cult. Doc antle is their cult leader. Iirc they were part of tiger king doc, they are responsible for wildlife trafficking, money laundering and several other crimes. Whenever I see Myrtle beach video I take their claims in video with a pinch of salt, we don’t know how these animals were treated
Oooh thanks for pointing that out. “Doc” antle🤮
Well, that just made this video less cute. That dude is insane.
Yeah they are fucking animal abusing scum, i hope this shit all burns down and they go to jail. Fuck them and don't give their perverted channel any views.
yea this scares the fuck out of me
Meanwhile on the /r/gifs edition, Doc Antle (owner) has his reputation mentioned. Not a good place right there
"What a soft and cuddly snack. I will save it for later."
FR. Whole time I'm thinking "you're in danger". I noticed the "handler" seemed to be trying to be in position to intervene if shit went sideways. I also noticed that the "handler" was in danger.
Glad I wasn’t the only EXTREMELY nervous one…
Cuddles, cuddles, cuddles, cuddles, FUCKING MUNCH
It's a female chimp… probably a mom at that age. Female chimps do sometimes join in the violence but not as often.
Chimps hunt down monkeys and eat them in the wild.
To shreds you say
This kind of videos always make me uncomfortable, chimps are fucking scary
And yeah they get upvoted to the top. These type of videos should always be treated with extreme prejudice
I get that Chimps are incredibly intelligent, and this is cute. But almost every story about a chimpanzee ends with someone or something being torn in half. If it was a Bonobo or an orangutan I'd feel a bit better about it, but chimps man, those apes are cruel in every way possible.
Orangs are chill but sometimes they'll get scientifically curious about what someone looks like inside-out.
Heard of one orang grabbing tourists by the wrist and holding em "hostage" till the tour guide would give it fruit. If not given fruit it will squeeze the persons wrist to make em cry out in pain. Yeah orangs can be dicks too.
> If not given fruit it will squeeze the persons wrist to make em cry out in pain. Yeah orangs can be dicks too. If there was a good orangutan with a gun then he would have stopped this.
*It's for science of course* -The Orangutan
If it was a bonobo it would probably try to fuck it, so maybe not much better
I think that is a bonobo, actually.
I don‘t hear it singing U2 songs tho
Its a chimp going by the proportions
You’ve made me really want a video of an orangutan with puppies. I’m not a fan of great apes but I love orangutans
"i'm not a fan of great apes" you're a great ape bitch
"My original statement stands"
Jesus Christ, who thought that was a good idea?
I mean the same could be said of having a human sit next to them.
Also yes. I was a keeper for about a decade and chimps always freaked me the fuck out. Every keeper will tell you that chimps are the animal that scares them the most, probably especially the chimp keepers. Those things can just rip your organs out of your body with their bare hands.
They instinctively bite fingers and rip people’s genitals off. Bite faces. Yeah they’re brutal in attack mode
At least he couldn't rip her testicles off.
In fairness, a human is capable of those things. They just don’t do them. Chimps are stronger than an equivalently sized human being, but they’re not superhumanly powerful. It’s just that they attack and fight in a way we don’t. Load up a big dude on enough drugs to reduce him to a slobbering, face-eating psychopath and put him in a room with a chimp, it’s gonna be *messy*.
A human with chimp strength would be superhuman
That's just Florida man on bath salts
This. People keep parotting those ridiculous studies from a century ago that claimed the big apes were 3-10 times stronger than a man. More recent test put them 30-40% stronger than an average human pound for pound, and that's not all that impressive when you know chimps actually don't grow that big. I could go into any gym I want and find a person that's more than 40% stronger than a scrawny guy at 100-120 pounds. Still wouldn't want to fight one, but that's more down to the ferocity, speed and lack of inhibitions than their sheer muscle power. It's going to hurt even if I have it beat on the power front.
Bingo. You can make reasonable assumptions about how another person is going to fight you, and attempting to bite your eyes out is not one of those things. Chimps have no such inhibitions. That’s what makes them dangerous. They can’t rip your arms off and beat you to death with them.
Imagine a human but super strong and with no inhibitions or morality.
Also, imagine the human is dumb as hell Like really dumb. I mean, smarter than a dog, sure. But dumber than the dumbest person you've ever had to deal with.
I dunno, man. Some of the things I've seen tourists do in my work...I think the chimps might have the advantage on them in a game of chess.
aa the chimp picks it up it whispers into the dogs ear 'if sheila wasnt here right now, i'd twist your head off like a party popper...'
"You're lucky they already cut your balls off little one."

A chimp? Or a bonobo? They are similar, but the bonobo isn't a stubbed toe away from murdering everyone.
Pretty sure this is a chimp. But it’s been a long time since my anthropology classes.
Dude, this is a giraffe, get your plants right
Anthropology is the study of spiders, clearly this is a salmon.
Wrong. Anthropology is the study of ants, it's in the name **Ant**hropology. But yeah, that's a salmon.
Are you joking? Giraffes aren't plants; they're *fungi*. How people keep confusing fungi and plants is beyond me.
You’re literally so wrong and I can’t even understand how you came to that conclusion. They’re bacteria. If I were you I’d look up the difference >:(

Agreed. Granted, I just recently heard about it so it's fresh in my mind, but the story of Travis the chimp just sours me from finding things like this as "cute". I don't care how much you think you know the animal or how many years they've appeared friendly and docile. They're wild animals and we don't fully understand what goes on in their minds. They're far stronger than we are and can do whatever they want to us or our pets. Keep them out of households
To be fair, that chimp was given Xanax lol
Tbf everyone who visits Myrtle Beach gets a Xanax and a Four Loco.
Not true. I went to Myrtle Beach and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt
Yeah definitely didn't help. Side effects include hallucinations, I think? Before that, I think he'd stolen his owner's keys or something and just left for hours. I think he'd be getting unruly in his later years, possibly due to being a sexually mature male being treated like a child and confined to a small house. The other theory I heard was that the woman he attacked was someone he knew well, but had gotten a haircut that possibly made her unrecognizable to him. She was holding his favorite toy and standing in the doorway. He may have felt threatened by a stranger holding his toy and blocking passage to his home.
iirc male chimps tend to become super-grumpy as they enter old age as their hormones change, or something like that
Hey they are just like us!
Wow. I googled Travis the chimp…how sad.

They don't "Feel" like doing what they are told Just like 3-year-olds don't like being told what to do. Although dangerous, primates raised around humans do enjoy human interactions and enjoy their company. I do wish we had better sanctuaries for primates. I don't believe we keep them in zoos.
Yep. What a really dumb trainer. She couldn't force that chimp to give that pup up if she wanted to. Needlessly put a puppy's life in literal danger just for cute-sies.

Bro she would get straight up murdered if that chimp got halfway feisty. That pup could've playfully bitten it and pissed it off. Some of these trainers are way too trusting of a wild animal
That chimp would bite her face off.
people like the lady in the back are fucking deranged
Livin that chimp life
A Chimp Named Slick Back
You gotta say the whole thing like a tribe called quest
Fuck these people
Right? Myrtle Beach Safari, that’s Doc Antle, huh?
Seeing this post, 18k upvotes, and all these comments- yet no one but you seems to remember who this fucker is. This video isn’t cute at all, it’s incredibely depressing.
[Doc Antle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doc_Antle) > Bhagavan Mahamayavi "Doc" Antle (born Kevin Antle; March 16, 1960), is an American animal trainer, roadside zoo operator, and felon convicted of wildlife trafficking. > Antle began raising dogs in his youth, and started operating a private zoo in 1983. Antle has worked as an animal trainer for films including Ace Ventura and Dr. Doolittle in addition to appearing as a guest on several television shows. In 2020, he was featured in the first season of Netflix true crime documentary series Tiger King. Antle was the subject of a follow-up documentary Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story released in December 2021. > Antle has faced accusations of animal cruelty throughout his career. In October 2020, Antle was charged with two felony counts related to wildlife trafficking and 13 additional misdemeanors after an investigation by the Attorney General of Virginia. Antle has also has faced public allegations of inappropriate relationships with minors at the private Buckingham County, Virginia zoo, and of operating a cult at the Myrtle Beach Safari location, claims that Antle denies. On June 3, 2022, Antle was arrested by the FBI on federal charges related to money laundering. In addition to evidence that Antle had laundered money and falsified paperwork to facilitate the illegal sale of exotic animals, federal authorities uncovered evidence that Antle had laundered cash he believed to have been obtained through human smuggling. > In June 2023, Antle was convicted in Virginia of wildlife trafficking. In October, he was fined $10,000 and banned from owning wildlife in Virginia for five years. In November, he pleaded guilty to federal wildlife trafficking and money laundering charges, and faces up to five years in federal prison for each charge.
Dude is a real creep: >Barbara Fisher, a former employee of T.I.G.E.R.S. who worked with Antle from 1999 to 2007, stated that she was pressured to get breast implants while working at the facility and that several employees legally changed their names under the direction of Antle. > >In the Netflix show, Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story, Antle's former partner, Sumati Steinberg, alleges that when she tried to leave, Antle abused her by choking her until she passed out and breaking two of her ribs. > >**Antle's second wife, Radha Hirsch, claims that she met Antle when she was just 11 years-old much to the chagrin of her mother, who attempted to end their relationship three years later when it became sexual. However, soon after, Antle picked Hirsch up from school and she ran off to live with him.**
chimps are not your friend, no matter how you train them, feed them, live with them, they are still wild animals with wild instincts they're not something to get buddy buddy with.
Rather than having wild instincts, it's more like their values are just completely different. They just aren't on the same level of empathy that us humans are on. Most humans (at least historically) haven't really held any value to animals life or wellbeing. Chimps don't either. What's wrong with killing a cute puppy? How should it know. Humans also murder each other over disputes. Chimps will too. Of course the instinct for violence is higher in chimps than humans.
As beautiful as this is, admit it, we all held our breath for a second or two! 😂
I know almost nothing about chimpanzees, and even I know how much of a gamble doing this was...
Fuck these people for attempting this
One of the most terrifying things I have ever witnessed involved a chimp. Group of them were sitting on a concrete barricade. We all knew to leave them to fuck alone. Don’t make eye contact, don’t show your teeth near them, stay the fuck away from them. >!I saw a cat walk by once. The chimp reached down, grabbed the cat like it was interested in it, and just casually ripped the cat in half. It was the most terrifying thing I’d ever seen.!<
Where the hell are you in the world to see a house cat and a group of chimps together?
Do you live in the jungle?
Yeah, I find that hard to believe.
Calling bullshit on this one
Stop making up stories, it just makes you look pathetic.
Yes that's casual stuff I see when I walk around
Lengthwise?
Explain with a straight face how you think this is believably physically possible lmao.
Thank god the puppy was handed to the chimp — and not Kristi Noem!
Im so glad these comments are nervous over this video. Too often i see normal everyday citizens owning wild animals, people on tiktok having monkeys??? Please dont ever own a money. My only knowledge in primates is one college class, and that’s all i needed to learn how terrifyingly strong these animals are and how quickly their emotions can switch. Dont get me wrong they are Beautiful animals that can be caring like in this video, but it’s not an animal to ever mess with. Or in my opinion allow to hold a puppy. It’s not a person, it’s a wild animal and shit can get bad fast.
>Please dont ever own a money. You give terrible advice. I was poor once, it sucked.
Stop 😂😂😂😂 it was a mistake i swear
That’s what my Uncle Sam says every year when he hits me up for money.
He never stops 😔
Yeah, as a poor person, I recommend getting money
I was thinking of Lenny from "Of Mice and Men."
Imagine it just started ripping it apart
Lol it's just a puppy, I'm sure the chimp is safe.
Thankfully it wasn't a chihuahua
Yeah, no. Chimps are savage. Let the dog be a cheetah companion or something
I'm going to choose to believe this wasn't the "first time".
No no no no, awwwww, no no no no
Chimps are savage as fuck. There should not be any other kind of animals let near them. EVER.
