Toolin' Around the Park
.
Two female gorillas have been photographed using sticks as tools to get through swampy areas, the first time the apes have been seen doing so in the wild.
"This is a truly astounding discovery," said Thomas Breuer of the Max Planck Institute. The findings can help shed light on how human beings came to use tools.
Breuer seems to be astounded pretty easily.
Well, I say, “Thank goodness.” When I read, “Gorillas Use Tools!” I was afraid they got hold of a megohmeter and an oscilloscope, and got hired by NASA.
