The illegal wildlife trade is literally a multibillion-dollar industry!

The same type of trafficking that's almost made tigers extinct is now threatening great apes!

Chimps, orangoutangs, gorillas and bonobos are all being plucked from their natural habitats and bought by private collectors or disreputable zoos.

The numbers are cray cray!

Peas and carrots, folks! That's the bond between alpha male Tumbill and baby Shangwe!

Tumbill, or Billy, is the top chimp at the Artis Royal Zoo but he's loving the newest addition to the fam.

Alpha males are important to chimpanzee society. They are not always the biggest but they are the best at forging relationships.

Chimps for President! LOLz!

So CUTEz! We ADORE Billy and Shangwe!

While we'll never understand the urge to own a chimp, we always hate it when they are abandoned.

Michael Jackson's pet chimp, Bubbles, has been left high and dry by the Jackson family. The primate was left out of MJ's will and Bubbles is currently "in retirement" in Florida.

Prince, Paris and Blanket used to play with Bubbles all the time, but they have visited nor contributed any cash to Bubbles' $20,000 keep.

Sad…stuck in retirement with no one to talk to…

With a little bit of cooperation and teamwork, there's a new family in the Oklahoma City Zoo!

Ruben has been hand raised ever since her mother, Rukiya, died 24 hours after giving birth to him.

His father and surrogate mother mistreated him and Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo decided Ruben needed a change of scenery.

Enter the OKC Zoo, where surrogate mom Kito and alpha male Mwami are treating their new arrival with lots of love!

We love happy endings! Congrats on your new fam, Ruben!

Sad…another case of apes on drugs…

Tori, an orangutan with a smoking habit in Indonesia has a new competitor in the disheartening practice of getting animals to act like humans.

A BABY chimp is now an alcoholic, thanks to people letting it drink beer on a regular basis.

We remind you, this is a BABY chimp!

And when you "try" to take the booze away from the little one, it goes ape shiz…

Really…really sad…

It's either that or he's really wants help escaping!

A chimpanzee finds himself in a hairy situation. There's a delicious cracker on the ground and he wants it BAD!

But there's a glass door in the way and he doesn't English.

Have no fear though, the chimp has a few tricks up his sleeves.

He knows British Sign Language!
