> Monkeys at ZOO grab mobile phones
Bookmark topic
A troop of mischievous monkeys at London Zoo have had to be re-trained after showing too much interest in mobile phones.The ring tones and bright lights proved just too attractive to the squirrel monkeys in their new no-barrier enclosure.
Visitors who held out their phones to video or take photographs attracted attention from the monkeys who attempted to take the object.
A short training programme was developed which put an end to their interest and the monkeys are once again roaming their environment in a more natural state of play.

Wonder if that training programme would work on some humans too...
