Así reaccionó chimpancé que experimentó con gafas de realidad virtual

El video ha sido vista más de 7.000 veces, y ha generado críticas en redes sociales.

La grabación, publicada en el perfil de Instagram de docantle, muestra a un chimpancé sentado en una silla mientras experimenta la realidad virtual.

Pese a que varias personas les ha parecido divertida la escena, otras han manifestado que no están de acuerdo con que el animal esté viviendo esa experiencia, pues puede presentar nauseas, como le pasa normalmente a algunos humanos, y sentirse confundido porque no tiene la capacidad de diferenciar la vida real de la realidad virtual.

Frente a esos comentarios el administrador del perfil aseguró que el chimpancé se puedo quitar y poner el dispositivo cuando desee.

#sugrivathechimp playing in virtual reality😎at the #myrtlebeachsafari in support of the #rarespeciesfund the chimp has tried the VR equipment dozens of times in the relaxed environment of his home on our wonderful wildlife preserve in #southcarolina. He can take it off anytime. He does and can put it on anytime but needs help adjusting it to fit well. Because he has a very small nose it slides down and he holds it sometimes. He is a very strong guy and makes his own mind when he is done. He's also very kind and acclimated chimp as an animal ambassador who has meet thousands of people in his life at the preserve. He lives with many other apes including his brother #ValiTheChimp • • • • #virtualreality #enrichment #chimp #htcvive #vive #tarzan #play #game #vr #chimpanzee #monkey #monkeys #monkeyseemonkeydo #learn #ape #greatape #fun #chimpanzee #apes

The incredible #sugrivathechimp playing w VR , U can see how much he loves this stuff It's an enriching and enlightening experience for him that he finds fascinating and totally joyful We are getting a huge amount of Animal Rights (AR) blowback that he is somehow not enjoying this experience and it's cruel and unusual punishment for this happy go lucky incredible chimpanzee, that we share our life with 24/7 along with his brothers sisters ,parents & friends who have been in our lives for over 40 years. #chimplivesmatter #MyrtleBeachSafari for the support of the #RareSpeciesFund #WildLivesMatter #AnimalAddicts #AnimalLovers #monkeysofinstagram #videooftheday #makeup #makeupgeek #wildlifeowners #wildlifepreservation #wildlifeconservation #foodforthesoul #happy #smile #cute #love #lovemyjob #lovemylife #ChinaYork #DocAntle #wildlifefriend #babyanimals
