How long is the orangutan penis?

A flaccid chimpanzee penis can hardly be seen that's how small it is (and sometimes seems like it is in its' body, like a belly button). However, when erect, it's quite substantial. A female in estrus (her bottom) can get quite big (15 - 20 cm) and the penis has to be thin and long enough to be able to reach and get as close as it can to the female's cervix. An erect chimpanzee and bonobo penis can get as big as 10 - 18 cm!

Additionally if humans had the same testicle size to body ratio as a bonobo or chimp, an average human male's testicle would be almost FOUR time bigger than what it is.


Chimps/bonobos have erections at the slightest sign of ANY excitement, and it happens often. Anything to get the blood pumping the single corpus cavernosum in the penis fills up with blood quickly and easily (as opposed to a human, which has two). A bonobo penis has a Y-shaped urethra slit, a chimp, I-shaped.

Are keeping orangutans like pets illegal in UK?

Whether they are or not, chimpanzees cannot be pets. As babies, they are easy to care for and can pretty much be raised as a human child. However, once they reach adolescence, they become 7-10 times stronger than a human. No matter how loving a relationship a chimp has with their human family, there is always the possibility they will lose their temper and attack, or attack a neighbour. Not even the trainers in Hollywood can handle them after this, and usually get rid of them or keep them in cages their whole lives after a childhood of severe abuse.

Also, it is not kind to the chimp. When they become too strong to handle, many zoos cannot take pet chimps, because chimps learn their social skills from watching the members of their community as they get older, and they do not know how to interact properly with other chimps. They also cannot be put into the wild for this reason. Sanctuaries are usually full to capacity. Some owners are so desperate they resort to sending their chimp to a biomedical lab to be used as a research subject. Not to mention the fact that these baby chimps are taken from their mothers to be raised by humans. This has exactly the same effect it would on a human mother and child.

Chimps are also very endangered in the wild, and keeping them as pets gives the impression that the species is stable, when nothing could be further from the truth.

If you love chimps, do some research and help protect them in the wild, or fundraise or volunteer for a sanctuary. But never ever ever get a pet chimp. It ends badly for all involved.

Are insects more intelligent than humans?

Ants are likely highly intelligent, especially for insects, for these reasons:
1)Ants are highly social and have a hierarchy starting with a queen
2)They are capable of building tiny "cities" complete with primitive ventilation systems
3)Ants communicate with one another by chemical signals.
4)Ants have been known to make rings around ant killer so their buddies won't get in it.

Because of this evidence it is believed that ants are in fact highly intelligent organisms.
