If you want to see something interesting then you should look at "Koko the talking gorilla."

And if you want to see what research is being done in Japan about this then look at CICASP which is the international proxy for Kyoto University's Primate Research: http://www.cicasp.pri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/

I thought it a shame this being Japan Today, the article doesn't focus more on the work being done in Japan in this field. But that's the problem, people don't really know about it, which is one reason the University formed CICASP.

The smartest ape in the world is Clyde, from Clint Eastwood's Every Which Way But Loose and Every Which Way You Can movies.

Probably Jane Goodall is the most well known scientist when it comes to chimps study. I personally met her when she came here to deliver a graduation speech for Colorado College (private). Very inspirational woman!

NO, It is fault. Under threat, they can be very aggressive and dangerous.
