"Look how cute he laughs"

*Ape actually having a stroke*

[alicg]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, bonobos are the hippies of the ape world. How chilled were they?
Laughing, who would have thought it.

[reagan]

Bruh idk about y’all but when I laugh when I’m being tickled I don’t want you to continue I just can’t help laughing

[renranger]

It’s so weird how apes have an expression that looks like their clueless and in deep thought at the same time

[Edwardo]

"Mom, can I go to the swimming pool?"
Mom: "We have swimming pool at home"
Swimming pool at home : 2:29

[uzoouk]

This programme is great. And Bonobo's are too cute!

[GarthFodder]

1:01 he makes a little squeak and hands down it's the most adorable, human-like thing I've ever heard come from a chimp

[chitharanjansarvesan]

at 0:11 i wasn't sure what happened to it's head... but then i realised... 😂😂😂

[EpicChocolateSauce]

Absolutely nobody I know likes being held down and tickled

[DogMechanic]

This was so adorable, I can't even pretend otherwise.

[NatureIsAwesomeGermany]

This is the cutest thing I have ever seen. Seriously thank you so much for sharing. I can't stop grinning like a total goof *g*

[AROWAYPlaysiscool]

0:11 BRUH I WAS FRIKKIN SCARED TO DEATH FOR A SECOND I THOUGHT HEAD CAME OFF

[Ajesen]

Humans laughing: hahahaha
Bonobos laughing: kekekekekeke

[jackcoleman]

If only Koba had been so well socialized.

[danainthevalley]

When I hear Bonobos giggle, I can't help but giggle with them. It brings so much joy to my heart. :)

[Incrediblydepressed]

“In the name of science, we’re going to tickle him.”

[ashmckinlay]

Aw bonobos are just the best. we should consider it an honour our bloody genus even shares kinship with this hippy species. In their metaphorical history, bonobo Adam and Eve never left Eden.

[bibhukishan]

"Safe and sound" at the end made my day

[lindahobbs]

Love the laughter! But he needed a break to get a breath! Just to cute.
