I Taught an Ape to Fly planes!
SNEAK PEAKS: www.instagram.com/chrisdacow/
After THREE MONTHS of work, we finally pulled it off! I’ve spent hundreds of hours figuring out exactly how to have Teco the bonobo fly planes not only in a simulator but in REAL LIFE!
It brings me so much honor to be able to collaborate with these incredible animals at the Ape Initiative and carry on the legacy of Kanzi after his passing in March.
Many of you remember Teco from when he beat the Ender Dragon in Minecraft, but now we’ve taken things to a a whole new level. Raising the bar higher than ever before and passing the torch from Kanzi to Teco as we continue to show the world what Bonobos are capable of!
We just rapped filming YESTERDAY!
Video should be out in about a month 😅
Lots of other big projects on the way as well though!
Follow on insta to stay updated!
Thank you all so much for watching and letting me do crazy stuff like this! ❤️🙏

I Competed In The Cheese Roll AGAIN!
This year Tom (last years winner and now one of my best friends) returns with me to Coopers Hill!
Only this time, the hill was 3x as dangerous because the ground was rock hard from no rain.
The constant chase for ETERNAL GLORY continues and I’m so excited to share not only the thrill of this race but also the amazing friendship that it has brought us!
Currently editing with the team, but keep in an eye out towards the end of next month!
Until then, watch pt 1 again to refresh yourself on the lore 🧀🏃♂️

I have very sad news... Kanzi passed away on March 18th.
I was told that he was out having a great day, playing with his other Ape friends including Teco and then out of know where they found him unresponsive. Vets speculate he had a heart attack as he did have some cardiovascular problems.
Just 2 days before I received this news I had been on call with one of Kanzi's closest care givers Jared to schedule our next visit to film another video and show off his incredible intelligence.
Though there are other amazing Apes on this planet, especially those at Ape Initiative, Kanzi was truly one of a kind.
I got the chance to work with Kanzi on 4 separate occasions on top of multiple face time calls. I have never met an animal that sparked so much curiosity and joy.
It’s hard to accept that we have lost one of the most incredible bonobos on earth.
If you want to help support Kanzi's bonobo family, you can donate here: www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=RSXNGAEVGU…
With less federal funding being given to the important cognitive research that Kanzi and the other apes took part in, Ape Initiative could use your support now more than ever.
I will make sure to keep you all updated if we still plan on filming something with Kanzi's bonobo friends. I believe we can "pass the torch" and continue to show the world what these incredible animals are capable of through the videos we make.
Until then, you can take a look back and enjoy the good times had with Kanzi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKpFo...

For those who have made a donation, on behalf of the millions of heart beats, thank you! You are now officially a Junglekeeper!
Also I would love to hear what you guys think about the video! It’s not Minecraft related but I wanted to try and share something a bit more impactful with some incredible people helping to save our planet!
That being said I’m headed out to film a new kind of Minecraft build video in less than 10 days! Wish me luck!
ALSO for anyone reading this far, very very early plans are in the works to POSSIBLY film a brand new video with the legend himself Kanzi!
If anyone has any ideas, write them here! I read them all! 🫡❤️

I spent 7 Nights In The Amazon Jungle with Paul Rosolie and the Junglekeepers Team!
New video out tomorrow!
After 4 months of planning, filming and editing I am so excited to announce the biggest video I have ever made!
It’s time to show you what it’s really like in the depths of the Amazon Jungle. Join us on an incredible journey and you’ll see not only how I survived 7 nights, but why we have to protect this place at all costs.
Like I always say on this channel, if I am ever gone for months just know that something big is always coming! My greatest weakness is that I just care so much about these videos. I will only ever post the absolute best I can create for you guys and that takes time.
But over the past 5 months I’ve been slowly cracking the code of how to upload faster, and I think we’re close! My idea is to simply tell multiple individual stories surrounding the MASSIVE projects we have planned.
For example I have been on multiple calls with The Pentagon and U.S. Air Force planning something huge for you guys, and no way can it be just one video!
Making videos for you guys means everything to me, and I wouldn’t give it up for the world. I’m so excited for you to see this video and the other massive projects I have been planning over the last 5 months!
