Which of these great apes (our distant cousins) would you be able to identify with the most?

[Caveat Emptor]

Gorilla, Orangutan or Chimpanzee?

Chimpanzee are highly social, talkative, high-communication, competitive and hierarchical apes with great sense of humor. They are particularly keen to interact with humans and are interested in us as living organisms. They are extremely keen to reproduce and have promiscuous mating system, which led them to have large testes compared to other primates. Females give birth every 4 to 5 years. Chimpanzee males are good at cooperation together to hunt for meal. Also, altruistic behavior has been noted among chimpanzees.



Orangutan is more of a lonely ape who is more interested in things and activities rather than other apes and tends to spend more time in isolation, orangutans have been noted to express particular interests in tools and human objects. They spend most of their time in trees, building nests at night, swinging through the trees, and eating in the trees. Females only give birth every seven to nine years and female raises infants alone.



Gorillas are more faithful apes of highly protective and conservative nature, skeptical of humans and protective of their natural habitat, territory and their environment. Gorillas have a polygynous mating system, have smaller testes than other primates. They are more stoic and predictable. Females compete for top males more but in multiple male setting may mate with several males. In all male setting, gorillas are peaceful and play with each other. Females give birth every 4 years on average.

Of all these animals chimpanzees are most similar to humans in terms of behaviour and how their society works, so I vote for them.

Sorry but I didn't vote on this poll. I can't relate to any of them. Of the species I can only relate to the cheeky little monkeys with long tails.
