• Resumen

  • Six years ago, a chimpanzee had the bright idea to use moss to soak up water, then drink from it, and seven others soon learned the trick. Three years later, researchers returned to the site in Budongo Forest, Uganda, to see if the practice had persisted. They found the technique has spread, and it has mostly been learned by relatives of the original moss-spongers.
