I was browsing around the internet the other day and I came across this website called ‘Portable North Pole.’ It’s great! You can make a customized video to your family members. It’s much more customizable than any other online videos I have seen.
These monkeys were caged/kept indoors their entire lives and have finally been allowed outside to play.
Narration translation:
Woman Narrator:
They see for the first time in their lives, the sun. After decades in an experiment laboratory, this is the first step of the chimpanzees in to freedom.
Man Narrator:
They hugged each other, like they would say they were finally free. And then they laughed. One imagines being locked up for 30 years in an elevator, then to open the door with friends and say “I don’t believe it.” They have only seen people wearing protective clothing; they have never had regular contact. They never learned to climb, because they were brought to the laboratory as babies. Now they can finally get out.
Woman Narrator:
Most of the former 38 monkeys have spent the entire lives behind bars. Since 2002, they are now in an Austrian village, slowing being prepared a life in freedom. This moment was for both animal and people equally unique.
Man Narrator:
I saw a chimpanzee, who was starring completely fascinated at a butterfly. He knew it, from back when he was a small chimpanzee in the jungle, and now he can see them again.
Woman Narrator:
And the monkeys that were born in the laboratory are discovering everything for the first time. The air, the grass, the freedom.
This is the most amazing homemade christmas light show I have EVER seen! Thanks to @magicmattyo for sharing it with me.
“This home light show features handmade animatronic characters synced to an edited music and video track. The light strings are now 100% LED. Building the animatronic characters usually starts in June, and continues over the Summer weekends. Programming the light show began in September and was completed in October.
The display is located in Sherman Oaks, CA. Visit (his) website for more information.”
