Wouldn't that be "tool use by wild gorillas"? Unless you're straightening out their innards with a monkey wrench. :egad:

I was referring to gorillas as a group. Does that work? Grammar mode hasn't begun functioning today.

Actually, it just happened to strike my funny-bone. The article, on the other hand, was fascinating. Thank you for posting it.

Gorillas are good people. Much nicer than Chimps.
