Who:: Two orangutans
What:: These orangutans were found playing on a touch screen video game, using their lips and feet to play.
When:: April 13th of this year
Where:: Zoo Atlanta
Why:: Since the touch screen game is a screen mounted into a tree in the exhibit, these orangutans find it fascinating to go over and play with the screen. They can't seem to get enough of the game!
My Opinion:: This was adorable when I first read it! (Well, it still is) I knew that monkeys were smart animals, but I didn't know that they could play video games like these!! I copied and pasted a part of the article explaining what the games were. "In one game, orangutans choose identical photographs or match orangutan sounds with photos of the animals -- correct answers are rewarded with food pellets. Another game lets them draw pictures by moving their hands and other body parts around the screen. Printouts of their masterpieces are on display in the zoo." As you can see, orangutans are very smart animals. I love monkeys and they're sooo cute!!
