Santino (chimpanzee)
Santino (born April 20, 1978)〔(Furuvik - Schimpanserna ) (in Swedish)〕 is a male chimpanzee held at Furuvik zoo in Sweden. In March 2009 it was reported that Santino had planned hundreds of stone-throwing attacks on visitors to the zoo.〔"(Zoo chimp 'planned' stone attacks )". BBC News website, 9 March 2009.〕〔 ''Current Biology'', volume 19, issue 5, 10 March 2009, pages 190-191.〕
==Biography==
Zookeepers noticed, after observing Santino behind blind glass, that the chimp had been busy stockpiling ammunition in anticipation of the visitors, dragging stones from a protective moat and even thumping chunks of concrete into rough discs. He made the piles of stones only on the part of his island facing the crowds. Dr. Mathias Osvath, a cognitive zoologist from Lund University, together with Elin Karvonen, studied the phenomena, and their studies suggests that Santinos behaviour shows that forward planning and premeditated deception isn't a uniquely human trait.
To control his behavior, and keep his hormone levels down, zookeepers castrated Santino. Since then, Santino has been observed to be more playful and is growing a "Buddha belly".〔"(Chimp who threw stones at zoo visitors showed human trait, says scientist )". Guardian News website, 18 March 2009.〕
