More monkey news.

And birds. I'm not forgetting birds.
Some apes, birds can think ahead, studies show | Reuters.com: "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Apes that remember to carry the right tools to retrieve treats and scrub jays that hide food a second time when they think a rival is watching prove animals can think ahead -- a trait once believed to be uniquely human, scientists have found."

Meanwhile recent evidence suggests the trait is receeding in humans. What's going on here? Are the animals taking over here? Couldn't happen - is that what you're thinking, Bunky?

Well maybe you ought to think again. The Reuters story was written by a Fox.
