Amaya Miller here from the new movie War for Planet of the Apes. And we're gonna test her knowledge with the game of the Apes. A true or false game. Are you ready?

Amaya Miller

As ready as I'll ever be.

Young Hollywood

Okay. First question. Humans share around 98% of their DNA with chimpanzees.

Amaya Miller

Hmm. I'm just gonna follow my gut. True.

Young Hollywood

Ding ding. Really? Yeah, you got it. Good job, Amaya.

Amaya Miller

Yeah. Well, you're they are really similar in the movie. You look at the movie and so many of the apes are so humanlike. What did you do in the greatest war? And you can tell them, I fought to protect this world. We created them. But now We will bring an end to their kind.

Young Hollywood

Okay, number two. Apes and monkeys are the same. True or false?

Amaya Miller

Like true. Right?

Young Hollywood

It's actually false. Cause like wouldn't an ape I I was thinking about this. I guess an ape would be offended if you called him a monkey, right?

Amaya Miller

Yeah, I don't call them monkeys. Like instead of the monkey emoji, I use the ape emoji. You know?

Young Hollywood

There you go. There you go. Okay, so that's false because it says apes are typically larger, do not have tails, and have larger brains. They're smarter.

Amaya Miller

That makes sense.

Young Hollywood

Next question. Gorillas are not the largest animal in the ape family. That's a tough one.

Amaya Miller

True.

Young Hollywood

It's actually false.

Amaya Miller

They're the biggest?

Young Hollywood

Gorillas are the largest animal in the ape family. I did not know that. Well, now we know. Now we know. And here's your orangutan. Orangutan is a monkey, not an ape. True or false?

Amaya Miller

I That one I honestly have no idea.

Young Hollywood

It says false.

Amaya Miller

False?

Young Hollywood

It says they are a part of the classification which includes chimpanzees, gorillas, and humans. So an orangutan is an ape.

Amaya Miller

Hmm. Okay, last one.

Young Hollywood

All right. Are you ready? The famous gorilla, Koko, has an equivalent IQ to some humans. True or false?

Amaya Miller

True?

Young Hollywood

Yeah. You got it. You got it. It says Koko has an IQ of 80. So similar to to some humans. That's a very smart monkey. And I guess I should say ape because I would be offending by saying monkey.

Amaya Miller

You can use the ape emoji.

Young Hollywood

There you go. Taking notes, guys. Taking notes. Thanks for all your monkey and ape wisdom.

Amaya Miller

Thank you.
