Orangutans are clever enough to use water as a problem-solving tool, as this experiment - inspired by Aesop's fables - demonstrates. (Credit: Natacha Mendes, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and Biology Letters)

@Boxman29312 If it's possible to dump the cylinder's content, then why wouldn't it just have done that to get the peanut?
-
That's just WOW...seriously. Orangutans and monkies are really fucking smart. And we take it for granted. Those poor things should not be locked up inside a cage. Whoever locked them up should be in a cage.

@BlurbFish By dumping it out! Holy s*&t did you not see it spit water into a cylinder to get a f***ing peanut out of a tube to long to use fingers for! Oh its to hard to get the water out now? I guess you should figure out how you typed what you typed.
-
Hey I'm smart enough let me the F*** out!
-
But how will it get the water?
-
huh guess an orangutan is smarter then me i wouldn't of thought of that

I've seen clips of orangutans sawing logs, hammering nails, rowing in a boat - using all kinds of objects. It's a little depressing to think these poor creatures have been cooped up just so you can prove they are able to spit into a tube to get a frikkin peanut.

i know people who couldn't get this done

@suttonview still they may be fascinating to u but how would u like to be kept in captivity?

Very smart animal, too bad they have to live their life in that small cage, and are probably victims to animal testing.
