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.

Intelligent Monkey GPS
Filed under: Animal Intelligence, Biology, Homo Sapiens Against Animal Intelligence, Science, Science Fiction, The Future
A recent study by researchers based at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig reveals that monkey’s have an unbelievable internal GPS system that allows them to navigate flawlessly across maze-like jungle paths. Read about the study here, at New Scientist.
As many of you know, we’ve been covering intelligent monkey news at The Loki Times ever since we launched our website. In fact, we kicked off our website with this post about Cyborg Monkeys. The subject fascinates our researchers and writers, but terrifies Jerry Bombadil, founder of the extremist group Homo Sapiens Against Animal Intelligence.
Bombadil fears a Planet of the Apes scenario more than anything. This new data about internal monkey GPS systems has shaked him to the core. The following is Bombadil’s response to inquiries from our news team: “Monkey GPS?!?! That’s just great, freakin’ wonderful. Son of a bitch!” *click*
Jerry later called back to apologize, saying “We were worried about the government being able to track our every move, but now we should worry about these monkeys. They can find you…anywhere.”
Let us know what you think. Monkey GPS: Impressive, or Terrifying?
Acceptance Of Animal Art Infuriates Activist Group HSAAI
Filed under: Animal Intelligence, Animals For Animal Equality, Homo Sapiens Against Animal Intelligence, Human Intelligence
The 3rd International Art Prize Arte Laguna held in Mogliano Veneto, Italy has accepted paintings by the animal artist Cholla the horse. Cholla paints of his own volition on a portable canvas. His work is hailed as expressive, beautiful, and intelligent. Cholla’s passion for painting, and the subsequent acceptance of his paintings in the artistic community has sparked the old debate over whether art produced by animals is truly art, or simply novelty.
Jerry Bombadil, spokesman for HSAAI (Homo Sapiens Against Animal Intelligence), is angered by the recent acceptance of Cholla’s art into an international exhibit dominated by human art. Bombadil in a recent statement: “This is a very slippery slope. The more we encourage animals to act and behave like us, and worse yet, the more we accept this behavior, the more we blur the line between us and them. What’s next? A Chihuahua Mozart? We don’t want to empower animals anymore than we already have. At some point, they’re gonna get wise and try and take a bigger slice of the pie, and they’ll take it by force, mark my words.”
Bombadil’s ominous words and extreme stance on the issue come as no surprise, considering his organization’s history.
