everybody was obsessed with Bigfoot?! Well, it appears that the newest obsession is the Skunk Ape. You probably pictured an animal that is literally half skunk and have ape, not quite. It is a big, hairy walking ape. Although the United States National Park Service says that skunk apes are a hoax, it’s obvious that they are real because there are pictures and articles that prove that they do exist.

Pongidae, also known as the “great apes,” are capable of using language in a visual way. Some researchers are trying to show that species such as gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, and orangutans are able to learn sign language and use it to communicate with humans.

The movie that I choose to watch is “The Rise of the Planet of the Apes”. In class we learned that primates have different categories. The categories include; movement, reproduction, intelligence and behavior patterns. In the movie, the main ape, Caesar, as well as the other primates in the movie shows examples of these categories. Although, like most modern day movies, some behaviors and characteristics are not true and do not relate to the material that we studied in class. This film was made in
From Thought to Testing: A Discussion of The Great Ape Protection and Cost Saving Act One of the most proliferated quotes in western philosophy is Descartes declaration of “Cogito Ergo Sum.” In the preceding mediation he strips down to what he believes is the foundation of knowledge. As much as this is quoted and used particularly in discussions of the mind, Descartes proceeding building on that foundation is left the wayside.

Since then, there has been a reboot, two sequels, merchandise, and even a TV series. This film was such a success for many reasons- its clever allegories to race, religion, and politics, the phenomenal makeup and costume design, the world-building that was almost unheard of in 1968 (maybe even giving inspiration for the world-building in the first Star Wars film which hit

To most, the idea of a movie with the premise of a planet full of intelligent apes went against everything they had been taught.
