Add Apes to minecraft, as a trusting / utility mob

I think apes should be added to Minecraft. they would live in the jungles and climb vines. they could most frequently be found on tall jungle branches. more specific examples of an ape could be orangutan or chimpanzee, either are good choices. the uses for apes could be protection of the player, in turn of a food reward. they also can be lead using a lead / leash, but have a change of escaping due to their intelligence. they can also do things like flip levers, open wooden doors, and even steal items held in the players hand. apes would be semi rare to find, and could be bred. apes would walk on all fours, with longer arms in the front, shorter legs in the back. they could also stand upwards, if they are fighting. the fur color would either be brownish orange (orangutan) or black (chimpanzee). (note: only one of the above apes should be added, to prevent any confusion or modded feel.)

Thanks for listening to my idea!

    This would be amazing; especially with possibly adding orangutans! They are an endangered species due to unsustainable palm oil harvesting, but not many people are aware. Since Minecraft has started to add pandas and future axolotls, this could be a good addition to the strategy. Hence, many kids who play this game learned about obsidian and how it takes form; perhaps they could learn other important subjects too.

    I honestly think chimpanzees and gorillas should be added, they could both be added because you could tell the difference because of size and what their faces looked like. The gorillas should have attack technique and strength similar to an iron golem, and stand up on their hind legs when they attack, and the chimps should have attack strength similar to wolves, and they should also stand on their hind legs when they attack or jump at the enemy. This would be so cool to see in minecraft!!!
