Who attacked who? ¬0¬ ??? A Chimp named Santino attacked human!! How? He was found collecting and storing stones for missiles later on. He was a chimp in Furuvik Zoo, north of Stockholm. Now we know that animals have the ability to make plans for their futures. It made zoo visitors annoyed.

People had began to study and research about this amazing discovery... Dr. Osvath said they they've made studies and it really did show it was true. Although some argued that it was an experimental artifact.

To read more of the reasearch Dr. Osvath had found, go to the following link.


I think chimps and other types of monkeys are like us. They can be smart. They may plan for their future. Is it just their natural behaviors or an instinct? Cool~ B-)

ELEPHANTS DIE AT ZOOS FASTER???!!?? IS THAT TRUE???

According to the researchers, they found out that animals like the African elephants, "do" often die around the age 19. But those in the wild, can live up to about 56 years old!! Why's that?

These elephants at the zoo, suffer from having bad health (may include of over weighted & stressed). Now that elephants are suffering more and more, scientists are telling zoos to halt taking all kinds of elephants from the wild... And! To solve this problem that's now occurring!!

(Picture from "THIS" website) The zoos got the message and told them that they had already tried their
best to help those elephants.

There was this hippo (pygmy) named Chico (above) at Heythrop Zoo that stopped eating... but with the help of a puppet, he happily starts eating now. The puppet that save the hippo from hunger, was also a hippo like Chico himself.

People that worked at the zoo was amazed and because of that, zoo keepers now used the famous gloves to feed Chico. Although the Chico starts to eat but the head keeper is still desperate to find the solution that lead to his problems.
This is what he said: "We had been trying everything as Chico was refusing to feed and when I saw the Madagascar hippo puppet in the supermarket I thought I'd give it a try. "We were extremely surprised when he took a liking to Gloria and we have been using it to feed him ever since."
