🎬 Behind the Scenes & Extra Footage: • HOW I Taught a Monkey to Play Minecra...
🙊 Bonobos are GREAT APES not monkeys!
We used "monkey" in the title to reach a wider audience, however Kanzi is a Bonobo -- a species of great ape closely related to chimpanzees and humans!

Thank you to the entire Ape Initiative team for making this project possible.
Ape Initiative is the only research facility in the world dedicated to the study and conservation of bonobos. It is a federally-recognized non-profit 501(c)(3) and is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums as a Certified Related Facility. Filming within Ape Initiative was done with professional supervision at all times.
Bonobos are very endangered in the wild, with only around 15,000 left – which is in large part due to the pet trade. In this video, you see Kanzi engaging in human activities as part of his daily enrichment, but Kanzi is by no means a pet at Ape Initiative.
⚠️ It is important to remember that bonobos and all other primates are NOT pets.
Minecraft (and any other touchscreen game) is one of many enrichment activities that Kanzi can choose to participate in to have fun and make his day more interesting. The door is always open, so he can choose when to start and stop playing.

I love Kanzi's mindset of just "If I can't figure out what to do, I'll take a break and come back some other time.".
-
The fact that he always bring his little pillow of hay so he’s more comfortable is so adorable 🥺
-
There's something adorable about Kanzi bringing a stick with him for morale support when things got tough.
-
I studied linguistics at university and I love animal communication so Kanzi is like a celebrity to me lmao I'm so glad YouTube recommended me this!
-
I just love the fact that Kanzi is the first non-human to have gamer rage.
-
We went from the first dog in space to the first ape playing Minecraft. Absolutely magnificent
-
“are you a robot?” kanzi :nah, primate
-
I'm particularly impressed with how quickly Kanzi interacted with EXACTLY the Respawn button.
-
Kanzi getting angry at Tommy for stealing his loot has got to be the funniest thing i've seen in a while
-
That ape's gonna become a Minecraft professional builder
-
"First ape to play Minecraft" Humans:
-
i like how kanzi got equally as gamer raged and lost in the stronghold as many of us have done many times.
-
If Kanzi had his own gaming channel, I'd honestly watch
-
This monkey is officially better at minecraft than my mom who couldn't even figure out breaking a block
-
I love how Kanzi started ragging when Tommy kept taking his foot 😭😭
-
its good to see how much you worked to make sure he wasnt forced to play
-
I love how he brings his own cushion to sit on
-
Konzie literally tried to backtrack to get all the extra food instead of making progress forward. True gamer
-
Very soon Kanzi will be saying " Apes together strong" to other members of his species😂
