33 Primate Inspired Innovations

Chimp Attack-Free Ideas to Monkey Around With

— February 17, 2009 — Unique
While the rest of the media spreads word of a chimp attack that ended in a sad ending, we’re taking the time to look at the role chimpanzees and other primates play in modern society.

This cluster highlights a range of innovations pertaining to our furrier relatives; there are no chimp attacks in this slide show, just fun innovations like creative gorilla ads and my favourite in this category, a video featuring Whiplash, a tiny sheepdog-riding rodeo monkey!
