chimp documentary
promethean days ended today with us facing the flag poles doing a cheer. thats just wrong. we had JUST finished our school anthem when the new ccals started doing the cheer and we were facing the wrong way lol.
during science, we watched this documentary. everything looked like it was a painted picture. and it was about apes. like the orang utan which bathes itself, the chimps which took a few years to learn how to smash nut shells and so u see monkeys doing stuff that u never knew they could do. and there is this freaky group of chimps who are almost are male. i mean yucks! they groom each other, like u know *smooch* then *uses hands to move hair* then *smooch*. uh grooming looks wrong male to male. and they fite each other to the death when they ostracize one guy. and then the hunting part is the freakiest. they practise monkeynabilism. the go prey on smaller monkeys from some other tribe and they just eat the captured monkeys raw. and then they rip out some meat and give to the others.
and i finally understand y Africa wins all the long distance running. this is not racist. they literally train everyday. in the documentary, there is this tribe which practises a certain type of hunting. they hunt deer. and no they dont use laser guns or drive jeeps. they hunt on foot. and its relli cool to watch them hunt. first they pick the deer with the heaviest antlers. then they go split it away from its deer tribe. and so the hunt goes on and the deer knows it is being hunted so it just runs and runs. and the hunters send their best stamina guy to go chase. this is amazing. the guy chases the deer for 8 hours! AND HES RUNNING ALL THIS TIME! thats damn pro. so hes tracking and running for 8 hours! thats at least like tens of km. in the burning hot sun. the sun was so damn hot that when he poured water on his face u could hear the sizzle. so hes chasing the deer with the heavy antlers. and now its a match of endurance. deer stamina vs human stamina. this guy is just so pro. not that zm isnt already pro. he owns zm running backwards. so hes tracking and after 8 hours, the deer gets super tired. i mean deers dont carry water bottles in their hide so its probably evaporating. so the guy has almsot got the deer. and hes just carrying a spear. i thot that blunt spear couldnt kill it. i was wrong. they kill the deer not by poking it to death. by tiring it to death. i mean when the deer saw him, it just collapsed on the ground. it couldnt even run anymore. it just flopped down and watched the hunter. and then the hunter poked it. and it died cos one tiny poke would have killed anything running for 8 hours. and then the hunter prayed for the deer and did some ritual and then he got his prey. talk about running 2.4km... i feel nub
