A chimpanzee throws a video camera in a protective case in the Budongo Trail enclosure at Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland January 26, 2010. For the last eleven months the chimpanzees residing in the Budongo Trail have been taking part in a study called The Chimpcam Project. The project, a joint collaboration between the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, University of Stirling and Burning Gold Productions, allows the chimps to shoot their own footage using a chimp-proof camera, experience video streaming for the first time and learn how to use touch screen technology.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image captured by David Moir, a mischievous chimpanzee takes center stage as it throws a video camera in a protective case within the Budongo Trail enclosure at Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland. This momentous shot was taken on January 26,2010, during The Chimpcam Project - an innovative study conducted over eleven months. The project itself is a remarkable collaboration between the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, University of Stirling, and Burning Gold Productions. It grants these intelligent primates the opportunity to shoot their own footage using specially designed chimp-proof cameras. Moreover, they experience video streaming for the first time and learn how to operate touch screen technology. This photograph encapsulates both humor and creativity as we witness nature's ingenuity unfold before our eyes. The chimpanzee's playful act not only showcases its intelligence but also highlights its curious nature and adaptability to new technologies. As we gaze upon this endearing creature caught in action amidst its natural habitat, we are reminded of the incredible similarities shared between humans and our primate counterparts. Through projects like The Chimpcam Project, we gain valuable insights into their behavior while fostering a deeper understanding of animal cognition. David Moir's skillful lens has immortalized this extraordinary moment when artistry meets science in perfect harmony. With no human presence visible in the frame, it serves as a testament to wildlife's ability to captivate us with their innate charm even without direct interaction from mankind.
