They have sharp teeth,
strong muscles
and don't like it
when you sneak into their territories.
But what makes them
even more dangerous
is they are smart
and more violent than other animals.
But before we tell you any more about them,
let us introduce you to another dangerous creature
that could be trying to attack you right now,
cybercriminals.
That's why we thank Keeper Security

in today's online world.
Not only do they defend us against threats from the dark web,
but they also alert us about any data breaches.

Now you are safe from hacks,
but that won't save you from some of the most
dangerous mammals on Earth.
But don't worry.
Today we'll reveal
the five deadliest primates on Earth
and show you how some
lucky people survived being attacked
by these terrible beasts.
Do you think you could outsmart them?
Let's find out.
Primates are one of the most diverse
groups of mammals
with more than 500 species,
including humans.
In proportion to their body weights,
primates have the largest brains
among terrestrial mammals.
And if you are wondering,
other primates are as violent as humans.
They're considered
the most violent animals.
Primates kill their own kind
six times more often
than an average mammal.
If they can kill their neighbors,
what's stopping them
from slaughtering you?
These colorful monkeys
live in Africa's equatorial forests,
roaming the territory searching for food.
Males can be more than 1 m (3.3ft) tall
with strong limbs
and 5 cm (2 in) canine teeth
that can easily tear your flesh.
The colors on males’ faces
get more intense as testosterone levels
rise in their bodies.
If they start beating the ground
in front of you
and their faces get more colorful,
they are ready to fight.
Don’t run.
They can chase you at 40 km/h (25 mph),
that’s more than six times
faster than an average human.
Instead, back off slowly
and don’t make any sounds.
These unique primates
live in the meadows
of Ethiopia’s mountains.
They are fast runners,
expert climbers
and violent attackers
whose size is similar
to mandrils and baboons.
But geladas have a unique
reddish area on their chests
and enormous, sharp teeth
they use to defend their herd.
If a gelada looks at you
and keeps rolling its lips fast
and showing its teeth and gums,
you’re in danger.
Don’t try to run away,
as they can run up to 45 km/h (30 mph).
Back up slowly,
and don’t lose sight of the gelada.
Baboons live in the savanna
and other semi-arid areas
of Africa and Arabia.
When they are looking for food,
they can be really aggressive.
In 2011, the infamous baboon called Fred
terrorized tourists and residents
in Cape Town, South Africa.
Fred learned to break into
cars and homes,
and he attacked people in his wild
quest for food.
When authorities
finally put the animal down,
they discovered that it had been shot
50 times during its reign of terror.
Yes, baboons can be dangerous.
Never try to feed them,
as they are opportunistic eaters
and can get very violent
when looking for food.
If they chase you,
give them what they want and walk away.
Gorillas live in the rainforests
of Central Africa
and have climbed
so high on our list
by being the largest
primate on the planet.
They can be up to 1.8 m (6 ft) tall
and weigh up to 200 kg (440 lb).
Yes, some humans can be
as tall and heavy,
but never as strong.
They can lift 900 kg (1,900 lb)
and punch you with
450 kg (900 lb) of force.
You don’t want to start
a fight with suck a match, right?
They react to hierarchy,
so if the alpha male sees
you as a threat,
it will try to fight you off.
Your only chance is to show
you’re not a rival.
Make yourself smaller,
kneel down,
and don’t look him in the eye.
Welcome to the home
of the most dangerous primate.
Chimps live in Central and West Africa,
and among the great apes
they have the widest range.
They can be 1.7 m (5.5 ft) tall
and are really strong,
but not as strong as many people think.
For decades,
scientists thought that chimps were
five to eight times stronger than humans.
It seems that was the result
of a poorly designed study.
Further studies confirmed
that chimps are about
1.5 times stronger than humans.
That's still a huge difference.
They share 98% of our genes,
and yes, they use weapons.
Chimps throw projectiles
and use spears and sturdy objects
to harm other creatures.
But the weapon you really want to avoid
is the mouth.
If they attack you,
they will try to maim you.
In 2009, a woman was attacked
by a friend's pet chimpanzee
named Travis in Connecticut.
Before the police shot him dead,
the beast mutilated her hands
and tore off her face.
Fortunately, she survived,
but if you find yourself
in a similar situation,
the first thing you should do
is try to de-escalate.
Showing your teeth together
is a sign of submission for primates.
But if that doesn't work,
do what you can
to get away from its mouth,
but don't use your hands,
they can easily cut them off.
Oh, boy.
That was close.
Fortunately, the 2% of our genes
that differentiates us
from other primates
saved you this time.
But what happens when you're
attacked by another human?
Could you also survive
being locked up
with some of the deadliest people?
