Whenever you see "Dodo Heroes" in the title don't bother clicking on it. You'll never see the ending. I gave up cable years ago and I have absolutely no interest in getting it again.
Aw man I didn't know.. Wish I'd knowed ahead of time. Your comment oughta been pinned!
“Knowed”?
+Audrianne Giroud -- I thinked there was nothing wrong with his sentence until you bringed it up.
Yup I just found that out today
Mickr4 thinked ??
Rest in Peace, Ponso. Thank you to Germain, Junior and all who cared for and about Ponso.
❤️
He reached out for her hand at the beginning
Yes we saw that. And the woman was scared.
@@davidandrew6347 no she wasn't. She knows the chimp. Her and two other men have been looking after him since his release back into the wild
It was not Ponso who reached out his hand - where did you get that idea from?
@@davidandrew6347 No, you did not see that.
*OUCH*
That cliffhanger
The world needs more people like you!
Hi Dodo, it would be nice to add "teaser" in the subject. It would be more honnest and less frustrating for all your faithfull followers.
Please think about it ☺
"Watch the Moment" That's a misleading title and surely a violation of UA-cam's policy?
Well guess I'm going to imagine that they all get along just fine and have lots of babies and all live happily on their island. Why not give an update for all the people who don't live in the US, huh? Its not just US citizens who follow Ponso's life - he has fans ALL over the world.
4 years since this post and no updates?? just watched the clips and they were so great
The Dodo has just became like Discovery/Animal Planet and usually don't post full videos anymore, just a small ad to drive people to subscribe to an outdated cable service instead to see the "rest" of the video. It's REALLY annoying, I cut that cord years ago and I'm never going back to cable tv.
gyloir I don’t get the cable thing. Surely lots of people watching this don’t live in the same country, so what’s the point, they wouldn’t get the channel anyway 🤔.
Who do they want us to subsribe to? Is there any way to see the ending
@@jsilva7005 the cable TV show Animal Planet
Why are you posting the same thing with multiple accounts?
@@messyfilms6325 many feel this way Bro lol
Loneliness is a disease but at least it can be cured. It can affect all of us, humans and animals. Thank you to these people for
helping this poor chimp.
How did I not know The Dodo had a show on Animal Planet?
As always, keep up the fantastic work. Just bringing attention to the things that you do is amazing and helpful!!
This is so heartwarming! Thank you The Dodo ❤️
We've been click baited! 😂
I reported it for a misleading title. You should also.
Thanks for telling me.. i won't watch the rest of it then.
2 years later, and its still happening 😗
@@relentlessshillstomper114 what’s so misleading? He was abandoned, no chimp friends, then they gave it a friend.
@@achanwahn it was just a preview you nutter, read the video heading.
Look at how excited that chimp is to see people. Even after being in a research lab. Some upper management slime made the decision to abandon that chimp, clearly the researchers loved on him and he didn't think too badly of them. I'm glad real good people found him and tried to find him a friend.
So this is what happened and why we never saw the Meeting looks like Ponso attacked and tried to kill Nikla .From their facebook :
Only 7 days until Animal Planet series will featured Estelle Raballand ´s past work for Les Amis de Ponso with Ponso in Dodo Heroes.
Time has come to remember and explain what happened in the end of 2017, when the media crew followed Estelle Raballand in Grand Lahou to film her work with Ponso.
We really need to share this details with you, before some of you will probably asking about a new integration after watching Animal Planet series « Dodo Heroes » about Ponso.
Introducing Nikla to Ponso was supposed to be a new life for both Ponso and Nikla, but it turned into drama. The report was filmed in Grand Lahou during Nikla ´s integration in the end of 2017. As you Know, our ngo was working with Estelle Raballand who was also working on creating a sanctuary in Ivory Coast. (Ivory Coast need a sanctuary for confiscated, orphaned chimpanzees that are victims of the illegal wildlife trafficking trade).
At this time, Estelle was working on Nikla’s integration. Unfortunately, the processus failed and Nikla was seriously injured but saved by Germain at his own risk : he rushed with the boat to let her go. This was terrible and dangerous for everyone. After that, Germain and Ponso have taken time to regain confidence. Les Amis de Ponso deplored the serious effects of this failure, for Nikla who was beaten, and for Germain and Ponso.
We were all very worried about their relationship because Ponso was very stressed and showed some signs of mistrust against Germain. This situation was very sad for both Germain and Ponso and their so special bond.
Now, the daily life on the island has returned
to normal, far from medias, letting Ponso Germain and Junior in their precious intimacy. Even if Ponso is still alone on his Island, Ponso is happy with his two keepers.
As already said, introducing chimpanzees to each other isn’t a clear science. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Each introduction is different and it depends on the chimpanzee individual history and personality. In this case, according Estelle Raballand’s report on Nikla’s integration, Ponso has showed us very clearly that he likes his life as it is. He doesn’t want to share his island or his keepers attention with another chimpanzee. Considering his age, and the terrible way things turned when Estelle tried to introduce Nikla last year, and except for health reasons, Ponso has his own sanctuary already with the freedom he deserves and will not be moved from his territory.
After this dramatic event, Ponso has come back to his old self: full of laughter, play and tenderness with his too keepers on his territory. He doesn’t feel lonely with Germain and Junior’s love.
robp210 Thank you for completing the story!
To be alone sometime doesn't mean you're lonely cuz you're prefer to be alone.. and Ponso also have his own friends,his keeper where he can still have his own interactions..
So very sad for both
Thank you very much for these details. 👍
In the previous video, they mentioned that several chimps had been abandoned on that island and Ponso was the only survivor. Maybe this is why...
Thank God somebody cared for her emotional health! Thank you so much!
I bawl every time I’m happy for the animals. These creatures are awesome
First time I felt sad at a zoo I was looking at a chimp just on the other side of the glass, looking solemnly at me 😐
Car Silk - I felt the same when I visited zoos. No life form is born to be enslaved and caged for life. I'm sure they are miserable and gasping for freedom.
How sad 😔
So I just watched a trailer?
I'm glad he finally got a friend. I've been watching him for a while
I can only hope that they are getting along and enjoy each other’s company
Unfortunately it didn't work out with Nikla and Ponso.
Thanks again for not finishing the story dodo. Man I love this channel but this is disappointing
Kawy Thowy Any video of theirs with "Dodo Heroes" in the title shouldn't be expected to have a finished ending. These vids are like promos/teasers for episodes of their new show coming up.
I wish they finished it, too, but then there wouldn't be much use in watching the episode when they air it on TV and such.
Fockin hell I don't even live in the us so how am I supposed to watch the show
Seriously. Click baity asfk
Alyssa Bullock How are we supposed to know that. What if we don’t get that channel?
Alyssa Bullock good to know! Won't be watching them anymore... so disappointing!
When he reached his hand out, my heart melted!
I always love watching these videos. I get so emotional. But I also always felt like I should do something as well to help animals. In fact, just a couple of days ago, I found a little surprise on my way to clock in at work. Just outside of the building to my job, I heard a kitten crying and saw a tail from in between some boxes. This is at a Lowe's and everyone else just walked by. But when I tried to call the kitten out, she just came running towards me and allowed me to pick her up and pet her. While thinking of what I should do, I set her back down but the kitten only rubbed herself against my leg. So I took her inside to try to figure out what to do and although someone said that he knew someone who might take her in, that person already had four cats. I knew that I would just keep worrying about her so I took her home straight away where my brother watched her until I got off of work. Come to find out, she is a big sweetheart; whenever I'm away and my brother sleeps, she just lays on his chest but when I'm home and even when he's there, she just loves to stay near my head. She even loves to watch what I watch and eat what I eat (well, wants to, anyway). It's funny because I always thought that I wanted to get a bird, dog or even a cat. It was fate. And I'm so glad that she chose me and that I decided to take her home. I decided to name her Ripley. I always loved animals and told myself that I wished I had the chance to help animals like these great people you see in these videos. So it may not be much, but it certainly is a good start. Thank you so much for these posts.
This touched me 💜💜
All these cliffhangers Dodo has been dishing out recently are getting old
enough no more of me clicking the bait of this channel. Be ashamed!
I reported it for a misleading title. You should also.
This is heartwarming. Makes me glad that I love animals.
Just when it was important, The Dodo just let us down again.
This is very sad to be alone like that all by yourself for 5 years everything works out in the end so greatful for this amazing video thanks for sharing
Thank you to the wonderful people who help these magnificent creatures... It was TERRIBLE not to see the actual meeting in this video!! How could you do that Dodo???
You are so so awesome.! God Bless you. God Bless You.
I want to cry
He is adorable! !!
This is so adorable
Finally a video that is not vertical

Love the way how he's offered his hand..
Whenever I feel depressed, I immediately go to the Dodo and be healed
They’re beautiful and wonderful.
Dodo you brings us these special moments and I can't thank you enough........it is beautiful
Grrrrr Dodo you did it again. I really don't want to unsubscribe. Many days, you lifted me out of my dark clouds. But now you almost always do this
How sweet yet so sad alone never seeing another one of his kind so unfair.
This is sweet and amazing keep it up dodo!
I didn't think i would ever cry again.
Cute
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
How cruel to let him live alone. They need social partners.
Welp, they introduced a female and he was super aggressive so took her back to the zoo. Looks like he was isolated for a reason.
N.P. is this true ?
@@nepadron He was isolated because they all died out? Thats what the ones I watched said.. So how did u get to see the ending to know this? Please tell me and some of the others so we can watch...
Ok ready to watch them meet!
Ikr ! Glad we don't do this with people lol
CUTEEE😍😍
We will all see the two chimps meet sometime, they've waited on their own for such a long times surely we can wait for the dodo to post it. This channel brings us such heartwarming stories let's not ruin it with negativity, please😊
This is so cute
Beautiful beings
This is Brilliant news ! As always Dodo a dose of Happiness ty.x
I love your videos! !!
It amazes me how human they are
Thanks for your 🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒💕👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🙇😘😘
Nikla and Ponso are like that couple that met online, but it actually worked out, and they ended up getting married...💜
Except, Nikla was attacked and they took her back to the zoo and Ponso lived there alone.
that money is so cute and so adorable
God Bless U All😁
Cute awww
This is so heartwarming I love it ❤️
Stop trying to bring us to your show thingy by teaser traling us
what a lovely sight i hope one day he has his own chimp to bond with ponso has lived alone but I'm sure he has 3 caregivers that visit him most days if not every day
Love all your videos dodo
That's great! I'm Glad he's not alone anymore.
Actually he is. He didn't like Nikla and attacked her, so they had to take her back.
What a heart pulling story
YES!! finally we get an update on him and it's happy!!!
that chimp whos been there alone is a big boy, scares the crap out of me shes braver than I am I couldnt be with an adult chimp unprotected like that. They are just too smart and strong, it freaks me out.
Sadly, Ponso died on his island on March 2, 2024, apparently from a heart attack, he was about 50 years old. A heartfelt thank you to Germain Junior Alexandra and to all those who helped him, loved him and did not make him feel alone. Rest in peace Wonderful Ponso, I will never forget you
Did you actually meet him?
So he was alone on the Island bc they didn’t have room for him? At least he got to have some love, fun and adventure thank you to these people who made that happen!!!!!❤
@@nataliebierman3067 Hello, I don't know why Ponso was left alone on his island even in the last years of his life. The important thing is that he received affection, companionship and care from Germain and the association that took care of him. I wasn't lucky enough to meet him but I followed his life on the page dedicated to him on social networks called SOS Ponso, ciao
0:24 SHE HAS THE HIGHEST VERTICAL IN HISTORY. PERIOD.
God Bless you all for doing what y’all do 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
🇺🇸Friend from Georgia 🇺🇸
Why is the end of the videos are always missing ??? It's really annoying ! I dont have TV !
Aww
This was awesome
💔 It is so heartbreaking to know the evil things humans did to these chimps, I just thank God that there are good humans that are trying to make it right for the chimps. ❤️
God Bless from Georgia 🇺🇸
*Solitary confinement in our closest cousin??? That's like the cruellest prison sentence!*
I agree with Lindsay about having an updated about these two chimpanzees would be really great.
Amazing!! :D
Beautiful = Incredible work you are doing here = THANK YOU 🙏
So what happened???
I reported it for a misleading title. You should also.
4th of may 2020. I checked today with chimpanzee rescue about what happened. This was their : it was disastrous... Ponso wounded Nikla pretty bad. Ponso lost trust in his human friend, got built up slowly and all seems well now. Sadly Ponso is still alone and Nikla went back to the horrid zoo in Abidjan. Nikla is ok physically but in Abidjan’s zoo prison. Ponso is getting a lot of love and care thanks to @sosponso thank goodness.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DODO PRAISE YOU 😀👍🙏
the ending was greeeeaaaat.
Poor little monkey. I hope he isn't lonely anymore.
Chimps aren't monkeys (they're apes, like you and me), just wanted to put it out there.
OMG poor wee soul ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I loved seeing Rambo and Samba gently touching hands during their introduction. Among chimpanzees, this is a gesture of submission and respect.
You're Killin me smalls!!!!
They got better names than humans 😁
I can't wait til they meet 😍
How could they leave us hanging like that?
So heart breaking. :-( I wish them peace and a long happy life even thou they are in captivity.
There must be a reason why they can't be released in a safe wilderness? Can someone explain? (without insults) Thank you,
Mikey Mike Well said Mikey & she had been in isolation for awhile & most probably she wouldn't be accepted in the wild!Great though to rescue her to the sanctuary!:-)
Cheers Oxy.
“So he wont be alone we want to bring him Nikla.”
Nikla: 😒
Poor guy, hope he's doing well 🙏
I love the dodo!! 💕💕💕
According to a blog post I read about Ponso, it didn't went well between the 2. Ponso rejected Nikla. I read that Nikla suffered some minor injuries and they have to be separated. Ponso is alone again in the island.
