Is this the face of the chimp apocalypse so chillingly predicted in the classic film Planet of the Apes?
Santino the Chimp
His name is Santino and he lives at the Swedish Furuvik Zoo. Santino likes throwing things at the zoo visitors that gawk at him everyday, and his keepers do eveything they can to stop the violent behavior. But recently, the zoo staff discovered stockpiles of ammunition (mostly rocks) all over Santino’s enclosure, as if he were preparing for battle. The discovery has excited researchers studying animal intelligence since it suggests premeditation and forward thinking on Santino’s part, activities that require high intelligence and that are hard to prove in our animal neighbors. But if Santino has planned this little rebellion in his cage, what could other animals we’ve angered or annoyed be planning? If these disgruntled creatures need a leader, they might look to Santino. The idea frightens organization like Homo Sapiens Against Animal Intelligence, which was created by its founder Jerry Bombadil in large part because of his concerns of the Planet of the Apes becoming a reality.
