Officials at the St. Petersburg Zoo in Russia thought they had a great idea: they would educate the zoo's orangutans about family life by letting them watch TV. But the humans may have learned more from the primates. Zoo officials discovered that instead of becoming more family oriented, the male orangutan became so absorbed with watching television that he began to ignore his mate. This upset the female organutan so much that officials rethought their plan. According to zoo director Ivan Korneyev, the television was removed in order to restore family unity and keep the family together. Who says we can't learn something from the apes? Something to think about with the end of the another season of football. No word on whether the male or female organutan used the clicker more.
