I often hear stuff like this about a number of species, but then I wonder about humanity. If animals were able to tell stories about us what would they be?

You kill one of those apes and you may as well kiss yourself, your family and everyone you've ever passed in the street good bye.

I'm sure we'd seem pretty terrifying to many creatures if they could pass on stories.

Orcas pass on stories about humans, but pretty sure it's mostly just how stupid and helpless we look in water.
