Alaska: "Like a hurricane": Moose fight destroys women's yard 阿拉斯加：“像飓风一样”：驼鹿打斗摧毁了妇女的院子

"Like a hurricane": Moose fight destroys women's yard

CTV News on Youtube has the story.

Two moose wrought havoc at a home in Homer, Alaska, getting into a bloody fight that caused significant damage to a woman’s yard and car.

The so-called animal: "moose" or "elk" is the only species in the genus Alces. The moose is the tallest and second-largest land mammal in North America, only falling short of the American buffalo in terms of mass. It is the largest and heaviest extant species of deer. Most adult male moose have distinctive broad, palmate ("open-hand shaped") antlers; most other members of the deer family have antlers with a dendritic ("twig-like") configuration. Moose typically inhabit boreal forests and temperate broadleaf and mixed forests of the Northern Hemisphere in temperate to subarctic climates. Hunting and other human activities have caused a reduction in the size of the moose's range over time. It has been reintroduced to some of its former habitats. Currently, most moose occur in Canada, Alaska, New England (with Maine having the most of the contiguous United States), New York State, Fennoscandia, the Baltic states, Poland, Kazakhstan, and Russia.

The moose food diet consists of both terrestrial and aquatic vegetation. Predators of moose include wolves, bears, humans, wolverines (rarely), and (while swimming in the ocean) orcas. Unlike most other deer species, moose do not form herds and are solitary animals, aside from calves who remain with their mother until the cow begins estrus (typically at 18 months after birth of the calf), at which point the cow chases them away. Although generally slow-moving and sedentary, moose can become aggressive, and move quickly if angered or startled. Their mating season in the autumn indeed features energetic fights between males competing for a female.

What are extant animals:

Extant describes species that DO exist. Virtually every creature you hear about on Something Wild is extant. Extinct and extant are opposites, leaving extirpation somewhere in the middle. Biologists use extirpated to describe species that no longer exist in a specific region.

“像飓风一样”：驼鹿打斗摧毁了妇女的院子

YouTube 上的 CTV 新闻报道了这个故事。

两只驼鹿在阿拉斯加荷马的一处住宅中造成严重破坏，发生了一场血腥的战斗，对一名妇女的院子和汽车造成了严重损坏。

所谓动物：“驼鹿”或“麋鹿”是驼鹿属中唯一的物种。 驼鹿是北美最高、第二大的陆地哺乳动物，仅在体重方面仅次于美洲水牛。 它是现存最大、最重的鹿种。 大多数成年雄性驼鹿都有独特的宽阔掌状（“张开手形”）鹿角； 鹿科的大多数其他成员的鹿角呈树枝状（“树枝状”）结构。 驼鹿通常栖息在北半球温带至亚北极气候的北方森林和温带阔叶林和混交林中。 随着时间的推移，狩猎和其他人类活动导致驼鹿的活动范围缩小。 它已被重新引入其一些以前的栖息地。 目前，大多数驼鹿分布在加拿大、阿拉斯加、新英格兰（缅因州占据美国本土大部分地区）、纽约州、芬诺斯坎迪亚、波罗的海国家、波兰、哈萨克斯坦和俄罗斯。

驼鹿的食物包括陆地和水生植物。 驼鹿的天敌包括狼、熊、人类、狼獾（很少）和逆戟鲸（在海里游泳时）。 与大多数其他鹿种不同，驼鹿不形成群体，是独居动物，除了小牛一直和母亲待在一起，直到母牛开始发情（通常在小牛出生后 18 个月），此时母牛会将它们赶走。 虽然驼鹿通常行动缓慢且久坐，但它会变得具有攻击性，并且在愤怒或受惊时会快速移动。 它们在秋季的交配季节确实以雄性之间争夺雌性的激烈战斗为特色。

Climate Show: Why China’s emissions may soon be falling 气候秀：为什么中国的排放量可能很快就会下降

Sky News on Youtube has the story.

Tom Heap hears about the green revolution that could soon put China’s emissions in decline, and sees how Portsmouth is tackling the issue of dirty air from shipping.

So-called Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from human activities intensify the (planet earth's) greenhouse effect. This contributes to climate change. Carbon dioxide (CO2), from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, is one of the most important factors in causing climate change. The largest emitters are China followed by the United States. The United States has higher emissions per capita. The main producers fueling the emissions globally are large oil and gas companies. Emissions from human activities have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by about 50% over pre-industrial levels. The growing levels of emissions have varied, but have been consistent among all greenhouse gases. Emissions in the 2010s averaged 56 billion tons a year, higher than any decade before. Indeed, total cumulative emissions from 1870 to 2017 were 425±20 GtC (1539 GtCO2) from fossil fuels and industry, and 180±60 GtC (660 GtCO2) from land use change. Land-use change, such as deforestation, caused really about 31% of cumulative emissions over 1870-2017, coal 32%, oil 25%, and gas 10%.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is really the main greenhouse gas resulting from human activities. It accounts for more than half of warming. Methane (CH4) emissions have almost the same short-term impact. Nitrous oxide (N2O) and fluorinated gases (F-gases) play a lesser role in comparison.

Electricity generation, heat and transport are major emitters; overall energy is responsible for around 73% of emissions. Deforestation and other changes in land use also emit carbon dioxide and methane. The largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions is agriculture, closely followed by gas venting and fugitive emissions from the fossil-fuel industry. The largest agricultural methane source is livestock. Agricultural soils emit nitrous oxide partly due to fertilizers. Similarly, fluorinated gases from refrigerants play an outsized role in total human emissions.

The current CO2-equivalent emission rates averaging 6.6 tonnes per person per year, are well over twice the estimated rate 2.3 tons required to stay within the 2030 Paris Agreement increase of 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) over pre-industrial levels. Annual per capita emissions in the industrialized countries are typically as much as ten times the average in developing countries.

The important carbon footprint (or greenhouse gas footprint) serves as an indicator to compare the amount of greenhouse gases emitted over the entire life cycle from the production of a good or service along the supply chain to its final consumption. Carbon accounting (or greenhouse gas accounting) is a framework of various methods to measure and track how much greenhouse gas an organization emits.

YouTube 上的天空新闻报道了这个故事。

汤姆·希普 (Tom Heap) 听说了绿色革命可能很快就会减少中国的排放量，并了解朴茨茅斯如何解决航运带来的肮脏空气问题。

人类活动产生的所谓温室气体（GHG）排放加剧了（地球）温室效应。 这会导致气候变化。 燃烧煤炭、石油和天然气等化石燃料产生的二氧化碳 (CO2) 是导致气候变化的最重要因素之一。 最大的排放国是中国，其次是美国。 美国的人均排放量较高。 全球排放的主要生产者是大型石油和天然气公司。 人类活动的排放使大气中的二氧化碳比工业化前水平增加了约 50%。 所有温室气体的排放量增长水平各不相同，但保持一致。 2010 年代的平均排放量为每年 560 亿吨，高于之前任何十年。 事实上，从 1870 年到 2017 年，化石燃料和工业的累计排放总量为 425±20 GtC (1539 GtCO2)，土地利用变化的累计排放量为 180±60 GtC (660 GtCO2)。 1870 年至 2017 年间，土地利用变化（例如森林砍伐）造成了约 31% 的累计排放量，煤炭占 32%，石油占 25%，天然气占 10%。

二氧化碳（CO2）实际上是人类活动产生的主要温室气体。 它占变暖的一半以上。 甲烷 (CH4) 排放具有几乎相同的短期影响。 相比之下，一氧化二氮 (N2O) 和氟化气体 (F 气体) 的作用较小。

发电、供热和运输是主要排放源； 总体能源排放量约占排放量的 73%。 森林砍伐和土地利用的其他变化也会排放二氧化碳和甲烷。 人为甲烷排放的最大来源是农业，紧随其后的是化石燃料工业的气体排放和无组织排放。 最大的农业甲烷来源是牲畜。 农业土壤排放一氧化二氮的部分原因是化肥。 同样，制冷剂中的氟化气体在人类总排放量中发挥着巨大作用。

目前每人每年平均二氧化碳当量排放量为 6.6 吨，远高于工业化前水平 2030 年巴黎协定所需排放量 2.3 吨的两倍多。 工业化国家的年人均排放量通常是发展中国家平均水平的十倍。

重要的碳足迹（或温室气体足迹）是比较从供应链上的商品或服务的生产到最终消费的整个生命周期中排放的温室气体量的指标。 碳核算（或温室气体核算）是衡量和跟踪组织排放多少温室气体的各种方法的框架。

China Zoo: Bear claimed to be "human in disguise" waves at zoo-goers 中國動物園：熊自稱“偽裝的人類”向動物園遊客揮手

The Telegraph on Youtube has the story.

A bear that became a social media celebrity after visitors claimed it looked like a “human in disguise” has been filmed appearing to wave at zoo-goers. 

Some 20,000 visitors are heading to Hangzhou Zoo in eastern China every day - an increase of almost a third - since the sun bear, known as Angela, went viral.

Footage has now emerged of the bear standing on its hind legs waving its right paw to the people gathered around its enclosure.

The so-called sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) is a species in the family Ursidae (the only species in the genus Helarctos) occurring in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. It is the smallest bear, standing nearly 70 cm (28 in) at the shoulder and weighing 25–65 kg (55–143 lb). It is stockily built, with large paws, strongly curved claws, small, rounded ears and a short snout. The fur is generally jet black, but can vary from grey to red. The sun bear really gets its name from its characteristic colorful orange to cream-coloured chest patch. Its unique morphology—inward-turned front feet, flattened chest, powerful forelimbs with large claws—suggests adaptations for climbing.

The most arboreal (tree-living) of all bears, the sun bear is an excellent climber and sunbathes or sleeps in trees 2 to 7 m (7 to 23 ft) above the ground. It is mainly active during the day, though nocturnality might be more common in areas frequented by humans. Sun bears tend to remain solitary, but sometimes occur in twos (such as a mother and her cub). They do not seem to hibernate, possibly because food resources are available the whole year throughout the range. Being omnivores, sun bears' diet includes ants, bees, beetles, honey, termites, and plant material such as seeds and several kinds of fruits; vertebrates such as certain birds and deer are also eaten occasionally. They breed throughout the year; individuals become sexually mature at two to four years of age. Litters comprise one or two cubs that remain with their mother for around three years.

The range of the sun bear is bounded by northeastern India to the north then south to southeast through Bangladesh, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam in mainland Asia to Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia to the south. These bears are threatened by heavy deforestation and illegal hunting for food and the wildlife trade; they are also harmed in conflicts with various humans when they enter farmlands, plantations, and orchards. The global population is estimated to have declined by 35% since the 1990s. The IUCN has listed this species as vulnerable.

YouTube 上的《電訊報》報導了這個故事。

一隻熊因遊客聲稱它看起來像“喬裝打扮的人類”而成為社交媒體名人，有人拍到它似乎在向動物園遊客揮手。

自從太陽熊“安吉拉”走紅以來，每天約有 2 萬名遊客前往中國東部的杭州動物園，這一數字增加了近三分之一。

現在出現的視頻顯示，這隻熊用後腿站立，向聚集在其圍欄周圍的人們揮舞著右爪。

所謂的馬來熊 (Helarctos malayanus) 是熊科 (Helarctos) 中的一個物種（Helarctos 屬中的唯一物種），生活在東南亞的熱帶森林中。 它是最小的熊，站立時肩高近 70 厘米（28 英寸），體重 25-65 公斤（55-143 磅）。 它體格粗壯，爪子很大，爪子彎曲得很厲害，耳朵又小又圓，鼻子很短。 皮毛通常是深黑色，但也可以從灰色到紅色。 太陽熊的名字來源於它特有的橙色到奶油色的胸前斑塊。 它獨特的形態——內翻的前腳、扁平的胸部、強大的前肢和大爪子——表明它適應攀爬。

太陽熊是所有熊類中最喜歡樹棲（在樹上生活）的動物，是出色的攀爬者，在距地面 2 至 7 m（7 至 23 英尺）的樹上曬日光浴或睡覺。 它主要在白天活動，儘管夜間活動在人類經常光顧的地區可能更常見。 太陽熊往往獨居，但有時也會成雙成對（例如母親和她的幼崽）。 它們似乎不會冬眠，可能是因為整個範圍內全年都有食物資源。 作為雜食動物，馬來熊的食物包括螞蟻、蜜蜂、甲蟲、蜂蜜、白蟻以及植物材料，例如種子和幾種水果； 偶爾也會吃某些鳥類和鹿等脊椎動物。 它們全年繁殖； 個體在兩到四歲時性成熟。 一窩幼崽包括一兩隻幼崽，它們會和母親一起生活大約三年。

太陽熊的活動範圍北起印度東北部，然後南至東南，穿過亞洲大陸的孟加拉國、柬埔寨、緬甸、老撾、泰國和越南，南至文萊、印度尼西亞和馬來西亞。 這些熊受到嚴重森林砍伐、非法狩獵和野生動物貿易的威脅； 當它們進入農田、種植園和果園時，它們也會在與各種人類的衝突中受到傷害。 自 20 世紀 90 年代以來，全球人口估計已減少 35%。 世界自然保護聯盟已將該物種列為易危物種。

Woman knocked over by out-of-control suitcase left on escalator 女子被留在自动扶梯上的手提箱失控撞倒

Woman knocked over by out-of-control suitcase left on escalator.

South China Morning Post on YouTube has the story.

A woman was knocked over by an unattended suitcase which fell down an escalator at a metro station in eastern China’s Zhejiang province.

A so-called "escalator" is a moving staircase which carries people between floors of a building or structure. It consists of a motor-driven chain of individually linked steps on a track which cycle on a pair of tracks which keep the step tread horizontal.

Escalators are often used around the world in places where lifts would be impractical, or they can be used in conjunction with them. Principal areas of usage include department stores, shopping malls, airports, transit systems (railway/railroad stations), convention centers, hotels, arenas, stadiums and public buildings.

Escalators have the capacity to really move large numbers of people. They have no waiting interval (except during very heavy traffic). They can be used to guide people toward main exits or special exhibits and may be weatherproofed for outdoor use. A non-functional escalator can function as a normal staircase, whereas many other methods of transport become useless when they break down or lose power.

在中国东部浙江省的一个地铁站，一名女子被无人看管的行李箱从自动扶梯上掉下来撞倒。

所谓的“自动扶梯”是一种在建筑物或构筑物的楼层之间载人的移动楼梯。 它由电机驱动的链条组成，轨道上有单独链接的梯级，在一对保持梯级踏面水平的轨道上循环。

自动扶梯经常在世界各地无法使用电梯的地方使用，或者可以与电梯结合使用。 主要使用区域包括百货商店、购物中心、机场、交通系统（火车站/火车站）、会议中心、酒店、竞技场、体育场和公共建筑。

自动扶梯确实能够运送大量人员。 他们没有等待间隔（除非交通非常繁忙）。 它们可用于引导人们走向主要出口或特殊展览，并且可以防风雨，适合户外使用。 不起作用的自动扶梯可以用作普通楼梯，而许多其他运输方式在发生故障或断电时就变得毫无用处。

‘Curious’ worker ignites foam, causes huge warehouse fire in China “好奇”工人点燃泡沫，引发中国仓库大火

‘Curious’ worker ignites foam, causes huge warehouse fire in China

South China Morning Post on Youtube has the story.

A warehouse storing EPE foam burst into flames after a worker ignited highly flammable foam rolls with a lighter in southern China’s Guangdong province.

Expanded polyethylene is an interesting product.

(Polyethylene foam) Expanded polyethylene (aka EPE foam) refers to foams made from polyethylene. Typically it is made from expanded pellets ('EPE bead') made with use of a blowing agent, followed by expansion into a mold in a steam chest - the process is similar to that used to make expanded polystyrene foam.

EPE foams are low density, semi-rigid, closed cell foam that are generally somewhere in stiffness/compliance between Expanded polystyrene and Polyurethane. Production of EPE foams is similar to that of expanded polystyrene, but starting with PE beads. Typical densities are 29 to 120 kg/m3 (49 to 202 lb/cu yd) with the lower figure being common. Densities as low as 14 kg/m3 (24 lb/cu yd) can be produced.

Base polymer for EPE foams range from Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) to High-density polyethylene (HDPE).

Expanded polyethylene copolymers (EPC) are also known - such as 50:50 (weight) materials with polystyrene. Though other properties are intermediate between the two bases, toughness for the copolymer exceeds either, with good tensile and puncture resistance. It is particularly applicable for re-usable products.

EPE foams were first manufactured in the 1970s.

Production of the PE beads is usually by extrusion, followed by chopping, producing a 'pellet'. Autoclave expansion is the most common route the bead foam. Butane or pentane is often used as a blowing agent (before 1992 CFCs may have been used). Depending on the specific process uses the beads may be cross-linked either by electron beam irradiation (see Electron beam processing), or by the addition of a chemical agent such as Dicumyl peroxide.

How easily does butane ignite? The Effects of Butane Exposure are interesting. Butane is highly flammable and can ignite easily through static electricity, open flames, or other ignition sources. As a combustible gas, butane concentrations anywhere between 1.6% and 8.4% can provide an explosive mixture with air.

An alternate route (JSP Process) to the beads uses carbon dioxide as a blowing agent which is impregnated into the pellets in an autoclave at a temperature close to the plastic's crystalline melting point. The pellets are foamed by "flashing" into the (lower pressure) atmosphere to expand.

Finally molding is done by steam chest compression molding; usually the low pressure variant of the process is used, though the high pressure variant may be used for HDPE based EPE foams.

“好奇”工人点燃泡沫，引发中国仓库大火

YouTube 上的《南华早报》有这个故事。

在中国南部广东省，一名工人用打火机点燃高度易燃的泡沫卷，一间存放 EPE 泡沫的仓库突然起火。

发泡聚乙烯是一种有趣的产品。

（聚乙烯泡沫）发泡聚乙烯（又名EPE泡沫）是指由聚乙烯制成的泡沫。 通常，它是由使用发泡剂制成的膨胀颗粒（“EPE 珠子”）制成，然后在蒸汽箱中膨胀到模具中 - 该过程类似于制造膨胀聚苯乙烯泡沫的过程。

EPE 泡沫是低密度、半刚性、闭孔泡沫，其硬度/柔顺性通常介于发泡聚苯乙烯和聚氨酯之间。 EPE 泡沫的生产与发泡聚苯乙烯的生产类似，但从 PE 珠开始。 典型密度为 29 至 120 kg/m3（49 至 202 lb/cu yd），其中较低的数字较为常见。 可以生产密度低至 14 kg/m3 (24 lb/cu yd) 的产品。

EPE 泡沫的基础聚合物范围从低密度聚乙烯 (LDPE) 到高密度聚乙烯 (HDPE)。

膨胀聚乙烯共聚物(EPC)也是已知的——例如与聚苯乙烯的50:50(重量)材料。 尽管其他性能介于这两种基材之间，但该共聚物的韧性超过了其中任何一种，并且具有良好的拉伸和抗穿刺性能。 它特别适用于可重复使用的产品。

EPE 泡沫首次生产于 20 世纪 70 年代。

PE 珠粒的生产通常是通过挤出，然后切碎，形成“颗粒”。 高压釜膨胀是珠粒泡沫最常见的途径。 丁烷或戊烷通常用作发泡剂（1992 年之前可能已使用 CFC）。 根据具体的工艺用途，珠子可以通过电子束照射（参见电子束处理）或通过添加化学试剂（例如过氧化二异丙苯）进行交联。

丁烷有多容易点燃？ 接触丁烷的影响很有趣。 丁烷高度易燃，很容易通过静电、明火或其他火源点燃。 作为一种可燃气体，丁烷浓度在 1.6% 到 8.4% 之间时，可与空气形成爆炸性混合物。

生产珠粒的另一种途径（JSP 工艺）使用二氧化碳作为发泡剂，在接近塑料晶体熔点的温度下将二氧化碳浸渍到高压釜中的颗粒中。 颗粒通过“闪蒸”到（低压）大气中膨胀而发泡。

最后采用蒸汽室压缩成型进行成型； 尽管高压变体可用于基于 HDPE 的 EPE 泡沫，但通常使用该工艺的低压变体。

Orangutan understands 72 words! Extraordinary Animals on Earth! 猩猩听懂72个单词！ 地球上非凡的动物！

This smart animal could be smart enough to go to outer space.

BBC Earth on Youtube shows: Azy the Orangutan communicates with his tutor via symbols and can even use verbs!

The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. At BBC EARTH, you will find 50 years worth of astounding, entertaining, thought-provoking and educational natural history content.

So-called "Orangutans" are really great apes native to the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia. They are now found only in parts of Borneo and Sumatra, but during the Pleistocene they ranged throughout Southeast Asia and South China. Classified in the genus Pongo, orangutans were originally considered to be one species. From 1996, they were divided into two species: the Bornean orangutan (P. pygmaeus, with three subspecies) and the Sumatran orangutan (P. abelii). A third species, the Tapanuli orangutan (P. tapanuliensis), was identified definitively in 2017. The orangutans are the only surviving species of the subfamily Ponginae, which diverged genetically from the other hominids (gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans) between 19.3 and 15.7 million years ago.

The most arboreal of the great apes, orangutans spend most of their time in trees. They have proportionally long arms and short legs, and have reddish-brown hair covering their bodies. Adult males weigh about 75 kg (165 lb), while females reach about 37 kg (82 lb). Dominant adult males develop distinctive cheek pads or flanges and make long calls that attract females and intimidate rivals; younger subordinate males do not and more resemble adult females. Orangutans are the most solitary of the great apes: social bonds occur primarily between mothers and their dependent offspring. Fruit is the most important component of an orangutan's diet; but they will also eat vegetation, bark, honey, insects and bird eggs. They can live over 30 years, both in the wild and in captivity.

Orangutans are certainly among the most intelligent primates. They use a variety of sophisticated tools and construct elaborate sleeping nests each night from branches and foliage. The apes' learning abilities have been studied extensively. There may be distinctive cultures within populations. Orangutans have been featured in literature and art since at least the 18th century, particularly in works that comment on human society. Field studies of the apes were pioneered by primatologist Birutė Galdikas and they have been kept in captive facilities around the world since at least the early 19th century.

Which is smartest of the apes? Deemed really some of the smartest apes on the planet, orangutans are exceptional creatures with expressive faces. Overall, the species considered most intelligent among the ape species, apart from humans, are orangutans. A few methods and ideas build this foundational thought on which species are the smartest.

More facts:

Which is smarter: gorilla or chimp? Though the chimpanzees are smaller in size they have bigger brains than the mountain gorillas hence making them more intelligent than the gorillas. This makes the chimpanzees more clever and tricky animals than the mountain gorillas.

Difference between apes and monkeys? The easiest way to distinguish between a monkey or an ape is to see if it has a tail. Almost all monkeys have tails, while apes do not. Also take note of the primate's body shape, size, and other physical attributes. Apes are generally larger with wider chests and almost naked faces.

Apes are generally more intelligent than monkeys, and most species of apes exhibit some use of tools. While both monkeys and apes can use sounds and gestures to communicate, apes have demonstrated higher ability with language, and some individual apes have been trained to learn human sign languages.

African Gray Parrots are thought to be one of the most intelligent species on the planet, rivaling even apes. Some researchers have suggested that these certain parrots have a reasoning ability akin to a three- or four-year-old human child.

What is the friendliest primate to humans? Bonobo apes are kind to strangers. According to the study, bonobos will go out of their way to help strangers - even when there is no guarantee of any payback.

Gorillas are the largest apes (not monkeys!) and the strongest primate, known for their impressive strength. These powerful animals weigh up to 200 kg, and can lift almost 2,000 kg - 10 times their body weight.

Which animal has the lowest IQ? Ostriches. The bird species dominate the list of animals with low intelligence, including the ostrich, despite being the largest bird. Ostriches have small brains that weigh only 26.34 grams, making up about 0.015% of their body weight.

Which animal has 32 brains? Leech: Leech is an annelid. Leech's external and internal segmentation do not correspond to each other. If the internal body is examined, it can be seen that the body is divided into 32 parts or segments which have their own corresponding brain.

Who would win in a fight: orangutan vs gorilla? Gorillas are really far better fighters and far more capable of inflicting fatal trauma on enemies. An orangutan might escape a gorilla by climbing trees, but that is not going to defeat the gorilla.

Humans have bodies that are genetically and structurally very similar to those of the Great Apes and so we are classified in the Great Apes sub-group which is also known as the hominids (Family Hominidae).

Pound for pound, humans are definitely the weakest apes. Muscle fibers come in two varieties, fast-twitch and slow-twitch. The fast twitch muscles act faster (obviously) and exert more force in less time.

Which rarest great ape on earth could soon go extinct? Tapanuli orangutans. Less than 800 Tapanuli orangutans remain confined to the small mountainous region of Batang Toru in North Sumatra, Indonesia.

An unarmed human could not beat a chimpanzee in a fight. This may work for the biggest, strongest humans, but certainly not the average ones.

Who wins in a fight: a baboon or a chimpanzee? A chimpanzee is really much stronger than a baboon given that a chimpanzee is much larger, sometimes even twice as large, since only a handful of baboons weigh more than about 50 pounds, while a chimpanzee weighs about 70 to 100 pounds.

Interestingly, the fascinating name "orangutan" (also written orang-utan, orang utan, orangutang, and ourang-outang) is derived from the Malay words orang, meaning "person", and hutan, meaning "forest". The locals originally used the name to refer to actual forest-dwelling human beings, but the word underwent a semantic extension to include apes of the Pongo genus at an early stage in the history of Malay.

这种聪明的动物可能聪明到可以去外太空。

YouTube 上的 BBC Earth 节目显示：猩猩 Azy 通过符号与他的导师交流，甚至可以使用动词！

世界是一个充满故事、美丽和自然奇观的神奇地方。 在 BBC EARTH，您将发现 50 年来令人惊叹、有趣、发人深省且具有教育意义的自然历史内容。

所谓的“猩猩”实际上是原产于印度尼西亚和马来西亚雨林的类人猿。 它们现在仅分布在婆罗洲和苏门答腊岛的部分地区，但在更新世期间，它们的分布范围遍及东南亚和华南地区。 猩猩属于猩猩属，最初被认为是一个物种。 从1996年起，它们被分为两个物种：婆罗洲猩猩（P. pygmaeus，有3个亚种）和苏门答腊猩猩（P. abelii）。 第三个物种是塔巴努里猩猩 (P. tapanuliensis)，于 2017 年得到最终确认。猩猩是猩猩亚科中唯一幸存的物种，与其他原始人类（大猩猩、黑猩猩和人类）在基因上的分歧在 19.3 到 15.7 之间。 万年前。

猩猩是最喜欢树栖的类人猿，大部分时间都在树上度过。 它们的手臂很长，腿很短，全身覆盖着红棕色的毛发。 成年雄性体重约为 75 公斤（165 磅），而雌性体重约为 37 公斤（82 磅）。 占主导地位的成年雄性会长出独特的脸颊垫或凸缘，并发出长长的叫声来吸引雌性并恐吓竞争对手； 年轻的从属男性与成年女性不同，而且更相似。 红毛猩猩是类人猿中最孤独的一种：社会纽带主要发生在母亲及其受抚养的后代之间。 水果是猩猩饮食中最重要的组成部分。 但它们也会吃植物、树皮、蜂蜜、昆虫和鸟蛋。 无论是在野外还是在圈养条件下，它们的寿命都可以超过 30 年。

猩猩无疑是最聪明的灵长类动物之一。 它们使用各种复杂的工具，每晚用树枝和树叶建造精致的睡眠巢穴。 猿类的学习能力已被广泛研究。 人群中可能存在独特的文化。 至少从 18 世纪起，猩猩就出现在文学和艺术中，尤其是评论人类社会的作品中。 对类人猿的实地研究是由灵长类动物学家 Birutė Galdikas 开创的，至少从 19 世纪初开始，它们就被饲养在世界各地的圈养设施中。

猿类中哪一个最聪明？ 猩猩被认为是地球上最聪明的猿类，它们是有着富有表情的面孔的特殊生物。 总体而言，除了人类之外，猿类中最聪明的物种是猩猩。 一些方法和想法构建了关于哪些物种最聪明的基本思想。
