EDITORS COMMENTS

Meet AW-5243, affectionately known as "Prof" a brilliant chimpanzee residing in Gombe, Tanzania. With his keen mind and nimble fingers, Prof has discovered an ingenious way to satisfy his appetite for safari ants.

As we marvel at this anthropomorphic scene unfolding before us, it's hard not to draw parallels between Prof's behavior and our own human endeavors.
