Two things I know about chimps:
1. Whatever it is, they will find a way to break it.
2. If you want something from them, they will give it to you…for a price.
Ellen has been coming up with some really cool food puzzles lately. One, named the hanging holey lid, involves a 5-gallon bucket lid that the chimps have to rotate to reveal food beneath. The chimps discovered that the lids come with thin peel-off strips around their circumference, and they were very entertained by peeling them off and using them to floss their teeth. There’s nothing particularly dangerous about these strips of plastic but they weren’t meant to be given to the chimps so we decided to retrieve them.
Most chimps will trade for juice. But Cy had to raise the stakes…
