RE: Sumatran orangutans (Pongo abelii) have been found to plan their travel route ahead of time, and then share it with other apes to let them know
I am not completely surprised cause we have known they are quite smart for some time. (Still remember the picture one of them using iPad at the zoo!)
Yeah, they are probably among the smartest species of apes, so it's no wonder that they are capable of planning for the future :) I should probably google the one who is using an iPad; that sounds really amazing!
Here was the report from Wired. https://www.wired.com/2012/05/orangutans-use-the-ipad/ . There were a couple of them at YouTube which are quite amazing too.....
Thanks! It's really cool that they are actually using it to communicate with them - I would have just guessed that the apes would click somewhat randomly around on it (like my toddler :P )
