Orang-utan's great escape from Perth Zoo

The 15-year-old Sumatran simian used a rope to swing out of her enclosure on Saturday, showing all the wisdom of age and her species.

Pulang "appeared to free a rope from a bolt and swing herself into the visitor area", senior orang-utan keeper Kylie Bullo said.

Once there, Pulang wondered what she was doing and was easily coaxed back to her home. She was out of her enclosure for about five minutes.

Comments: Still remember the last visit to zoo, Keeper Tony was telling us the story of the clever orang utan who emulated the construction workers' daily routine.  Actually orang utan, gorilla and chimpanzee, who is the smarter one?  Is there really a way to deduce who is smarter?  Just as IQ test, EQ test, AQ test.  Is it really the right platform to conclude that person is a genius?
