Gorillas are NOT killers..they are strictly herbivores, and will attack only if threatened. Chimps are omnivores..they’ll at anything..especially smaller monkeys..
Awwwwww!
Chimps are very dangerous. They are far stronger than a man and can inflict horrific bites. Apes of course are even more dangerous than chimps.
If I wanted a primate as a pet I would opt for the breed most often chosen by organ grinders and street performers, the Capuchin.
A Capuchin is far more intelligent than a dog..even the brightest dog, the Border Collie, is no match for a Capuchin.
But even the tiny Capuchin could deliver a painful bite.
A nice family film staring a Capuchin is "Monkey Trouble"
When my oldest was two we sent to sea world. At one point she made a friend of a female walrus through the glass. This thing was simply enamored with her. Yes I have pictures.

Sorry marthemaria. This was supposed to be a ping to myself so I could watch this later.
