Reba you better be careful where you fly your drone . :giggle:



I was not able to hear any sound or talking , was there any? I guess the chimp will have to pay in bananas for the cost of the repair. LOL!
 
Looks like it didn't take much effort to knock down that drone......
 
It shows the act of defense obviously. Would you do the same when a drone hangs around your property? :lol:

Yeah , I said something like that in my comment # 9 I did not see this , I agree with you! I had a neighbor that always spied on me when I took my dog out and I did not like that . She would peek behind her window shade , I would rather she just pulled it up and waved to me.
 
That was actually a pretty nifty example of tool use by the chimp. The zoo was actually doing the filming and they weren't expecting the chimps to behave that way.

Is that really classed as tool use? I thought to be a tool it has to be fashioned and manipulated for a purpose. Thats why tossing s rock isnt really considered a tool...Unless that rock has been manipuluted and fashioned for the purpose...
Same goes for a stick ...
But good.for the chimp.
Only a matter of time before pigs are tasering or shootin us with these damn things....
 
The branch was manipulated for a purpose. And no, the tool does not have to be fashioned. Apes stick twigs into termite mounds, wait for the termites to crawl on them and pull the twig out to eat the termites, they stick them in the long bones of other monkeys to get out the marrow, gorillas have put sticks into water to apparently gauge the depth of the water they are crossing.

There's debate between object use and tool use, but at this point it seems you can call it all tool use when the tool is picked up and manipulated. When monkeys pick up rocks to smash nuts, it's been called tool use. When an orangutan was found to pick up a big leaf and shelter under it during a storm, it was called tool use. Neither of those involve fashioning. So I'm fine calling this tool use.
