A male chimp deliberately collected and stored stones for stone-throwing attacks on zoo visitors, according to researchers at Furuvik Zoo, Sweden. How does this make you feel about the sophistication of non-human intelligence?

It demonstrates that even a chimpanzee can do something that previous American Presidents cannot do: Plan for the future.

Next question, would that chimp enjoy playing a computer game that involved throwing rocks at humans?

there was a monkey at Auckland Zoo that used to sit down on the floor looking really sad and visitors would stop and take photos of it. Every few hours it would leap up in the air and then piss on the people near by. This was then followed by it running around it's compound screaming and waving it's arms in the air like footballers do when they score!

non-human intelligence makes alot more sense than some of the 'human' smarts I have seen lately

Monkeys are smart... we know this already. They have feelings and communicate with humans. I think it's time we start training them to do more human things. I know of some humans that probably think less than most monkeys do.

did other monkeys/chimps around learn from that one chimp?!?! How probable is it that an off-spring to that chimp would show history repeated... following the parent?!?!

Dude, this is so funny. I love chimps! They throw their shit at each other, and save the rocks to throw at the humans who have been destroying their habitat! What a true hero of mother nature.

The chimps do it at the safari park near me. All the visitors are warned that they throw stones and there s now wire mesh around the boat that takes you to the 'chimp island' I just think they are p****d off with 'non-apes' staring at them all the time.

I have seen a video of a crow fashioning a hook out of a piece of stiff wire in order to raise a small bucket from a thin glass container so that it could reach the food within.

It's still about survival.

My cat picks up pennies off the floor with his paws, puts them in his mouth and carries them to a shoebox in the closet. I think he's got close to $5. in there now.
