Ndakasi's Passing (w caretaker Bauma in Virunga National Park, photo by Brent Stirton)
That photo makes me tear up, that mountain gorilla was rescued as an orphaned baby, and that man has been her careetaker for many years, basically seeing her like a daughter because she was very intelligent and playful, then she started getting sick, and finally after a long illness, died at age 14. A search for those two and there are photos from happier time before shegotsick.

Female gorilla in viral 2019 selfie dies in arms of ‘lifelong friend’
By Joshua Rhett Miller

https://nypost.com/2021/10/06/viral-gorilla-from-2019-selfie-dies-in-a rms-of-lifelong-friend/
An orphaned mountain gorilla in Africa, whose ultra-smooth selfie with a park ranger went viral, died in the arms of her caretaker and “lifelong friend,” officials announced.
Ndakasi passed away on Sept. 26 after she “rapidly deteriorated” following a prolonged illness, park officials said in a statement Tuesday.
The 14-year-old female primate became a social media sensation in 2019 when she hilariously photobombed park ranger Mathiew Shamavu at Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The pic shows Ndakasi and fellow orphaned gorilla Ndeze coolly posing behind Shamavu with cheeky grins on their faces.
“It is with heartfelt sadness that Virunga announces the death of beloved orphaned mountain gorilla, Ndakasi, who had been under the care of the park’s Senkwekwe Center for more than a decade,” the park said. “Ndakasi took her final breath in the loving arms of her caretaker and lifelong friend, Andre Bauma.”

I wonder if he remembers and if he reminisces on that time of his life. Or if he'd recognize himself if shown that image with Michael Jackson. I don't doubt either but it's incredible to me just to think about it. Different bodies, same processes.

Are Chimps viewed as the more intelligent ape just because they are more like us? I’ve never seen a Chimp drive a vehicle of its own volition like the Orang who can into Golf Buggy.
Somehow Orange seem more individually intelligent and capable of teaching themselves, having a more slow lazy approach intelligence like someone who can speak but chooses not to.

I am under the impression that the weight estimates for Gigantopithecus are wildly undersized for this very reason. A 6 foot tall gorilla is about 400 pounds but i have seen weight estimates for Gigantopithecus as low as 500 pounds

In the trees they're very fast. Not so much on land. They're so lanky they have to run with their arms raised or use them like crutches.
