SMART Chimp Asks Zoo Visitors For Drink | The Dodo

Follow The Dodo!

For the love of animals. Pass it on.

He recognised the banana and asked to throw it over the cage. But more impressively, he recognised a bottle and understood that it contains liquid which he asked her to pour. He didn’t want it to be thrown over like the banana. Recognition of human made objects and their uses is what impressed me.

"Don't feed the animals!"

"But the chimp told me to!"

[rain.]

This chimp is better in giving instructions than my teacher.

[zebraneighbor]

What amazes me most is not only how clearly defined his instructions are to pour the drink through the hole or toss the banana over the glass, but that he recognizes that the human is intelligent enough to understand him and cooperate. He as a chimpanzee can identify intelligence in other species. That's endlessly fascinating.

It's true, in the wild they drink as much mountain dew as they want

[canecorsomolosser]

He's training people, in the end he ask a key to get out 🤣

[nickvalentineCWPH]

This dude was giving crystal clear instructions. I understood him more than most people.

[crotalusatrox]

Never underestimate the intelligence of the Primates. As a former Zoo Keeper I testify that they are cunning and smart, can be very loving too if love is shown to them.

[ArtificeSounds]

just dont give him redbull or he'll fly out of there

[jba.]

What is interesting is that just like the other way around, he seems to recognize that the humans are somewhat similar to him and might understand him. He propably wouldn't try to communicate like that with a horse or a squirrel

[BartSimpson-jdvs]

The chimp is giving her clear instructions and yet she fails to deliver.

[ChristmasEve]

Besides how COOL it was that his instructions were SO clear, another really interesting thing that we probably don't think about is how amazing it is that chimps are smart enough to know that a human is smart enough to follow his instructions. He probably won't waste his time trying to get a dog or a squirrel to move something for him.

[kerohowgee]

chimp: hey carl, check it out.
carl: what?
chimp: for months i have been training these humans, and it finally worked.

[blacksoul]

Thats not a chimp, thats just a gamer who hasnt shaved in months.

[seriousyrius]

I like how the chimp is telling him to throw the banana over

[danielweston]

I am impressed the visitors took instructions so well . . .

[samymornagui]

Most amazing...he knows that she got to throw the banana because the hole doesn't work...wow!

[rakkrisr]

In the wild he'd be drinking the real mountain dew...

[bhubanxalxo]

He tried to teach him how to throw banana but she was too dumb for that soo he dropped the plan and continued with mountain due😅

Plot twist: The chimp is giving instructions to the human held captive in a cage.
