Not referring to an Abbot and Costello flick, but I saw a program on Jane Goodall where she saw chimps use sticks to fetch ants from an ant hill.She was fascinated by their tool utilization and alerted the scientific community who initially remained skeptical. However ,when I was at Wichita State in the early 1970s,I knew a prof at WSU by he name of Neil Pronko who published a text of articles in a work titled PANORAMA OF PSYCHOLOGY where he had a piece on monkeys on a Pacific island that washed potatoes before eating them. For monkeys to wash potatoes before eating them certainly implies higher cognitive function. I do not remember the time line for the both of those animal observations. Anyway why were Goodall's chimps eating ants? Ain't those Bozo types vegetarian?
