What a smart ape. I mean it's not like she's seen it used often in her daily routine with the researchers.

I wonder if she got put in detention.

I guess she learned her lesson, no more pulling fire alarms for that ape.

Something is going on at that facility. This video surfaced awhile ago

Bonobo Playing Pac-Man

Kanjji, a bonobo lives in Des Moines, Iowa at the Great Ape Trust and is one of the most studied apes in the world. While there are a couple of moments when it looks like Kanjji is controlling the game it doesn’t look to me like he actually understands what the object is. Maybe it would be a different story if Kanjji were playing Donkey Kong.

Hey, even apes need to have a little bit of fun every now and then.
