Monkeys at the Helsinki zoo have been given access to a primate version of “Spotify and Netflix” in a new study to see how animals engage with sound.
Experts at the University of Glasgow have developed the “monkey media player” – an interactive system which lets gorillas, chimps, and orangutans access sounds and videos.
Focusing on a group of three white-faced saki monkeys at Korkeasaari Zoo in Helsinki, Finland, a small computer was played in a wood and plastic tunnel which was then set up in the animals’ cage.
