Animal’s Win At Concentration Games
Meet the apes – and other animals – that can memorise 10,000 pictures, use tools, recognise words, express empathy and put humans to shame at a touch-screen number game.

Baboons can distinguish between written words and gibberish. Monkeys seem to be able to do multiplication. Apes can delay instant gratification longer than a human child can. They plan ahead. They make war and peace. They show empathy. They share.
