Understood English and Played Video Games: Genius Chimpanzee Dies at 44.


In the USA, a 44-year-old bonobo named Kanzi passed away at a research center, known for his intelligence and creativity. This was reported by employees of the Ape Conservation and Learning Initiative (ACCI).
Kanzi spent his last morning happily chasing his nephew Teco, and afterward, he died. He showed no signs of illness, so the cause of his death will be determined later.
This bonobo was very intelligent and studied stone tool-making with his sister. He used one stone as a hammer to break off sharp pieces from another stone. His ability to create tools amazed scientists who dubbed him the "bonobo genius." This allowed for the exploration of the innovation and independence of the monkey.
Kanzi could also play video games, including Pac-Man and Minecraft. While his language skills are a subject of debate among scientists, they indicate his ability to communicate. Researchers continue to seek answers to the question of whether his language skills may be equivalent to human language.
Thus, Kanzi will be remembered as an exceptional monkey with extraordinary abilities who contributed to our understanding of the evolution of intelligence.
