Animal conservation advocate Mike Holston recently posted a video on Instagram of a chimpanzee who seems to be very familiar with how the social media service works, and is very focused on scrolling through his caretaker’s feed. Sure, it may have taken the primate quite some time to learn how to use a smartphone, but as you can see, it has no problem clicking “like” or going through several different photos / videos.
In just under a week, the video has already gotten over 1.6 million views as people are wowed by the ape’s Instagram savvy and dexterity. It’s unclear how much time the chimp spends on the smartphone, but it would seem to be quite a lot, given its familiarity with the social media service. However, there’s at least one prominent voice speaking out against the video: the world-famous English primatologist Jane Goodall, who’s considered the foremost expert on chimpanzees.
