There's no doubt that they look adorable but that's largely because they are so similar to human children. Genetically, chimps have more in common with humans than they do with monkeys. They are even closer to humans than they are to gorillas. There's something odd about seeing a juvenile perform knowing that as an adult it will be too powerful and independent to be useful.

As a small public education about this endangered species, (our closest living relatives) they should at least be properly labeled.

But they sure are cute.
