Orangutangs fish with sticks

Found this earlier today, well worth a look! It's pictures of Orang-outangs using sticks to fish in a river. I find it amazing how they have learnt to use tools to help them hunt.

RE: Orangutangs fish with sticks

I think that is absolutely amazing! I think maybee they learnt how to do this by watching tribes who live in the jungle, becasue this is how they fish.
Did anybody catch that show about how intelligent monkeys are? Luckily, it was on Sky AnyTime, so I managed to watch it!

It is a fascinating picture. I find it amazing that animals have the know how to use tools to help them, especially in hunting.

It really is incredible to see that isn't it? I would love to see some video footage or even see it for real. Dont think that will ever happen though!

No it is on the TV, and is only avalible for people with Sky+. If you have Sky+, press "TV Guide" then the red button, and it should be in the list. I think it has expired though, I don't know.
