It would seem unlikely that there could be many surprises left in the category of wonders involving the abilities of primates. Still Animal Planet delivers enough to make a viewer gape. It's one thing to see the sacred macaques of Thailand using stolen human hair for tooth flossing.

Who is going to top him?
