Chimps aren't chumps!


Did anyone see the chimp on TV this morning performing his photographic memory test? Three chimpanzees were tested for speed against university students and the chimps performed faster in speed and accuracy each time!

I do think we tend to underestimate the intelligence of these lovely animals...
