Smart Monkey Builds A Fire By Himself, But He Doesn’t Stop There And It Will Blow Your Mind

In his video, Kanzi shows us how much he has learned. Calmly and methodically you will gather small branches and firewood that lead to the fireplace of your field. Once satisfied that he has enough fuel for his fire, he takes a game from the box, hits it and starts his fire. Next, place the swamp wire on one end of a stick and hold it in the flames, keeping a safe distance from the fire. When you consider them finished, carefully check the burned marmots to make sure they are not too hot before eating them from the stick. Why can't we all be like Kanzi? I'm just firing, roasting marshmallows and cooling them. It seems like a good life to me. You must be intrigued by your sense of purpose while performing this complex task and the almost smug expression of satisfaction on your face when you reach it. This is a smart primate, and you have to admire his skill and at the same time marvel that all this will bring. Kanzi has been an avid apprentice for over twenty years and has learned a wide range of tasks. He learned to make stone blades by hitting rocks to sharpen a rock, which he really developed in an experiment the researchers did with him by having a rope that could not be pulled and food inside a box. Kanzi made a blade and used it to cut the rope! He also learned to play Pac-man and understood more than 5000 words and could communicate with a few hundred (on a lexigram and in sign language). He has already shown signs of passing on his knowledge to his son Teco (who was raised by humans and monkeys when his mother left him). His son is already showing signs of autism in humans and Kanzi's guardian actually theorises that Teco could become even smarter than his father.
