Scientists discover monkeys that fish (aol.com.au)

Not as interesting as I thought it might be.

I thought they might be fishing with lines, or bait, or nets, but instead they're just reaching into the water and grabbing them. I'm actually surprised nobody's ever observed this behaviour in monkeys before -- if you've got a shallow river with fish it's not that difficult.
