My younger cousin got in a stare fight with a chimpanzee at the zoo. That fucker (my cousin) kept making eye contact and imitating the ape’s body language. We kept telling him to at least look away because the ape was getting mad but, uh, he thought angering the ape was funny. Next thing I know it kicked four or six inch thick iunno plexiglass and that shook at least four or six inches. Vibrated something fierce. Dude was strong as fuck. Which apparently did not scare nephew because he wanted to get the ape to do it again. We managed to respect him too the polar bear, which we told him sometimes shat in the water. That was his idea of fun at the zoo I did and do not understand that child.
Do other apes hate us?
Apes scare me. Chimpanzee are aggressive little fuckers. New world primates can be pretty cute though.
They can be tolerant of humans, but they’ve also been known to hunt and eat humans.

So, not much different then us humans.
Wait. Which ape eats humans?
Chimpanzees and Humans have both been documented to hunt and eat Humans and Chimpanzees.
Gorillas, on the other hand, have a more plant-based diet and are generally less aggressive, there are few to no cases of them killing humans AFAIK.
