Poachers have a bit of a tradition of setting snare traps to catch wild chimps in the rainforests of Guinea… but they’re about to get a new tradition: a tradition of getting punk’d by the chimps.
The chimps have figured out how the snares work, and are triggering them without getting caught or hurt. When the chimps pwn the traps, those traps are then prevented from catching anything at all: monkey or non-monkey.
I wonder how long it will be before these chimps find a way to redeploy the snares. Chimps are smart, and they just don’t give a fuck, sometimes even eating each other. They are not to be messed with.
Sometimes a chimp lightly knocked the sapling that holds the snare, before grasping it to break the trap.But in all cases, they avoided touching the dangerous part, the wire loop.In the video above, chimp can be seen seeking out and inspecting snares, without breaking them.
