Let Them Read Books

Moscow Zoo keepers are to fit televisions in the cages
of their gorillas in a bid to make them "think more".

Zoo director Vladimir Spitsyn said the gorillas will be able to watch films
about the life of monkeys and great apes in the wild among other subjects.

He said that similar projects had shown that by allowing animals to watch
television their cognitive abilities improved.

He said: "We want them to spend less time picking their noses and
more time thinking about life."

Truly advanced life forms can do both at the same time…

The TVs will be introduced into the gorillas’ cages this summer, reports
