Movie Made By Chimpanzees To Be Broadcast On TV

Posted by samzenpus on from the I'll-be-a-monkey's-uncle dept.

wdef writes "The world's first film shot entirely by chimpanzees is to be broadcast by the BBC as part of a natural history documentary. The apes created the movie using a specially designed chimp-proof camera given to them by primatologists. The film-making exercise is part of a scientific study into how chimpanzees perceive the world and each other.'"

    If they are really like us, it will mostly be a movie about female chimps showing off various badly filmed body parts in exchange for bananas

    Am I the only one that expects that over 90% of the footage will consist of closeups of chimpanzee genitalia?
