Chimp seeks help from zoo visitor in escape

Chimpanzees are getting smarter it seems. They are now ‘asking’ zoo visitors to help them escape.

“SORRY SIR, could you just open the window there for me?”

That was what one monkey was signalling to a visitor at a zoo in Wales recently.

Having had enough of his enclosure, he realises he is going to need some help if he is to make an escape.

The chimp points to the bolts in the window frame, signalling to the man to twist them open for him.

A master plan escape.
