New "smart" species of Ape discovered in African mountains.

Zaire, Africa (AP) -- A new species of Ape has been discovered in the mountain forests of Africa. Scientists were amazed when the flashlights that they were using to study insects attracted the attention of a previously undescribed species of ape. The animals seemed to be attracted to the light given off by their instruments and were obviously curious but showed no signs of aggression and kept their distance.

Although extensive research needs to be done, they believe that this new species is at least 30 percent more intelligent than currently known African gorillas and could possibly be the next evolutionary step that primates took on their way to becoming human. The apes have human like features and more closely resemble the fictional primates that appeared in the "Planet of the Apes" movies than they do any currently know species. (Picture link attached).

It's hard to believe they are still discovering new large species like this. Very cool.

The new species can't be too smart. I hear they dangle their young out of tall buildings.

What's the difference between Michael Jackson and a plastic bag?

One is white, plastic and dangerous to young children. The other is a plastic bag.

That's a classic x-ray. And I saw that news story with him dangleing his kid out over a four story balcony. Said he was excited to show everyone his youngest son. Show them what? All you could see was a baby flailing it's feet, scared to death, and with a towel drapped over it's head so you couldn't see it. Sorry.....but that move just has "idiot" written all over it.

IMO, Anyone who "dangles" a child like this should be made to do a little "dangling" of their own.

Sorry for sounding harsh, but crap like this just makes me nuts.
