A male chimpanzee in a Swedish zoo planned hundreds of stone-throwing attacks on zoo visitors, according to researchers.
Keepers at Furuvik Zoo found that the chimp collected and stored stones that he would later use as missiles.
Further, the chimp learned to recognise how and when parts of his concrete enclosure could be pulled apart to fashion further projectiles.
The findings are reported in the journal Current Biology. There has been scant evidence in previous research that animals can plan for future events.

Chimpanzees have long been suspected of planning ahead
Well, he’s devolved to the level of the palestinians...
They also vote Labour.
Unlike some Treasury Secretaries...
If a chimp can plan an attack, then a chimp can write a stimulus bill.
I saw this story on the news last night and LMAO. They said that this chimp, calmly and cooly, collected these rocks, stacked them neatly in a pile, and waited ...
Greatness.
A chimp, in my opinion, deserves to be in a big cat’s belly in the wild.
Thats racist /s
Bingo!
My apologies for insulting the chimp.
There’s a homeless cat who frequently sits under my bird feeder. I suppose he picks that spot randomly every morning. Could’t be he plans ahead. Nah.
Maybe stimulus bill was written by chimp? ;-)
A mouse got into the house and made a pile of stolen nuts in an old shoe.
Do birds build nests in anticipation of something?
Does pig manure smell Senator Harkin?
How much did this study cost?
Will the collective IQ of congress ever rise above room temperature? Does the German zoo have an earmark?
My dear departed Border Collie used to stock up his milk bones. I'd find them hidden in shoes in the closet. Everytime, I went to the closet, he'd sit behind me and watch to make sure I didn't discover his treasure trove. That indicates to me he was "planning for future events", woodntcha think?
premeditated porkulus
We need more ‘thinking, planning ahead’ chimps in Washington!!!
that’s not a chimp , it’s George Galloway
