Video: Chimps-R-Us?

This video shows that chimps can get a little agitated when they can’t ride, too.

We spend so much of our day focused strictly on dirtbikes that we don’t have a lot of time to think about anything else, but when we saw this semi-related video, it put a smile on our face.

Okay, so it’s technically not a dirtbike video, although the bike, rider and the chimp are in the dirt. Still, any dirtbike-addicted kid could probably relate to it just the same. In fact, it was entertaining enough that it prompted us to do a quick little refresh on the relationship between humans and chimpanzees.

According to the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada, “Chimpanzees and humans differ by just over one percent of DNA. In fact biologically, chimpanzees are more closely related to humans than they are to gorillas. Some have proposed including chimpanzees (genus Pan) in the same genus as human beings (genus Homo) to recognize these similarities, calling them Homo troglodytes. Though this is controversial, it emphasizes how similar we really are.”

Maybe so. This video drives the point home even further.
