Breaking News... Bush Goes Fishing.....
Edited on Tue Jun-10-08 07:43 PM by rsmith6621
Scientists find monkeys who know how to fish

BANGKOK, Thailand - Long-tailed macaque monkeys have a reputation for knowing how to find food — whether it be grabbing fruit from jungle trees or snatching a banana from a startled tourist. Now, researchers say they have discovered groups of the silver-haired monkeys in Indonesia that fish.


Groups of long-tailed macaques were observed four times over the past eight years scooping up small fish with their hands and eating them along rivers in East Kalimantan and North Sumatra provinces, according to researchers from The Nature Conservancy and the Great Ape Trust.

...to strap a velcro strap across his Buster Browns let alone judge distance through water to catch a fish with his widdle hand.

Lay off the simians.
