BREAKING NEWS : Monkeys use trees to catapault themselves out of Japanese laboratory
39 replies, posted
[QUOTE]A group of 15 monkeys at Kyoto University's primate research institute in Aichi Prefecture, which are the focus of a string of high-profile scientific studies, escaped from their forest home which is encased by a 17ft high electric fence.
The monkeys made their bid for freedom by using tree branches to fling themselves one by one over the high voltage electric fence located nearly three metres away.

[QUOTE]However, despite the intelligence shown in their great escape, the primates appeared unsure as to what to do with their newfound freedom: the monkeys remained by the gates of the research centre and were lured back into captivity by scientists armed with peanuts.
"It was an incredible escape and the first time something like this has ever happened," Hirohisa Hirai, the deputy head of the Primate Research Institute told the Daily Telegraph.
"We think that maybe there was some kind of dispute among the monkeys in the forest and so this group decided to leave.
"Fortunately, they stayed by the fence after escaping as they probably wanted to stay near to the other monkeys so we managed to recapture them all.
"But we were extremely surprised by the intelligence and the power they used in order to escape."
Scientists have since cut the trees in order to prevent a repeat escape, Mr Hirai added.
The Kyoto institution is one of the world's leading primate research centres, with a series of internationally recognised studies exploring the social interaction, behaviour, biology and evolution of primates.
Around 80 Japanese monkeys currently live in the enclosed forest space within the confines of the institute from which the group of primates managed to escape.

Japaneeses outsmarted by monkeys. Does not surprise me.

Don't get too excited about their intelligence now.

They just wanted some peanuts.
It worked ! ! !
Monkeys make great escape, displaying exceptional intelligence!

Well there are a lot of animals that escape and come back. Like guinea pigs.
They love to explore but always come back.

if you spent a good chunk of your life in a laboratory do you think that if you escaped you'd be able to immediately figure out where to go next? perhaps the monkeys thought the outside world wasn't all it's cracked up to be and decided "fuck this, let's go back"
I wouldn't blame the moneys for wanting to escape a bunch of Japs.

Swords to cut the electric fen- oh wait.

Not really, they are evolving just as fast as us. We just got a head start.
They should add a "escape the lab using a tree as a catapult" challenge in takeshi's castle.
