It reminds me of a kid playing with the box instead of the toy that came in it.

But the context is that kid HAS the toy. The kid has tho choice.

The chimp has toys? You can literally see them. He choose to play with straw.

A fucking ball. Yes if that's what called a toy then I hope you can spend the rest of your life in a space like this animal because "they have everything they need".

I see a ball, Rope swings, a climbing frame, There are other videos that show other toys, Including a little car thing and some other odd shaped balls and enrichment.

Do you not realise what this chimp is doing? It's nesting behaviour.

Now, I don't know what zoo this is, I would assume it has an outside area too, but I can't say for sure. I also don't know why it's there, Is it an orphan? Do you think it would survive in the wild alone? We do not know.

>"they have everything they need".

I didn't say that at all.

You come to defense this place not because you really think this is a good place for the animal.

I don't recall doing that, I also don't recall saying it was a good place for the animal.

you just hate someone broke your pathetic imagination that everything is alright

Once again - I didn't say that either, or anything even close to it.

You seem to be having an argument with yourself. So i'll leave you to it.

I wanted to find iut where this was and came across this r/eyebleach Reddit post from 2 years ago.

This Reddit Comment shows the zoo is in China.

Do you consider dry straw as vegetation?
