Aping humans: Orangutans and bonobos at the Apenheul Primate Park near the central town of Apeldoorn are shown pictures of other apes, and researchers evaluate their responses
THE HAGUE: An animal reserve in the Netherlands is having apes respond to images of their fellow creatures on a tablet, a programme dubbed “Tinder for orangutans” by the Dutch press.
To better understand their emotions, orangutans and bonobos at the Apenheul Primate Park near the central town of Apeldoorn are shown pictures of other apes, and researchers evaluate their responses – from neutral to aggressive, the park said.
