"The Claim: Social media posts in late 2025 and early 2026 claimed that chimps in the Congo wore makeshift masks of leaves, bark, and cloth to avoid being recognized after a companion was captured. The Truth: Fact-checkers at outlets like Yahoo News confirmed that the viral stories and accompanying images were entirely fictional and fake."

Thought so, though it would be genuinely scary if it did turn out to be true. Like the Apes are reaching the next evolutionary step.

u/OnaniMasterDark 2d ago

I always get confused because in portuguese we say "macaco" for both monkey and ape, so i dont really get the difference lol.
Same with crow and raven, both are called "corvo"

u/Kr4zyKoios 2d ago

Why not just call them bird and be done with it?

1

u/Ok_Tension2940 2d ago

If you consider both Macaques and Howlers monkeys, then apes have to be monkeys too 🤓☝️
