the ape world has finally managed to tie down the secret in real life, as Kanzi the chimpanzee has been photographed not only creating a blaze, but also cooking and eating his own food.<\/p>\n<p>It certainly seems like this creature is smarter than average and you have to admit what he can manage is pretty impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Sue Savage-Rumbaugh &ndash; who takes care of the animal in Iowa &ndash; told the Daily Mail that Kanzi starts fires &quot;because he wants to&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>Not content with throwing any old meal together, the chimp can rustle up a mean hamburger and he has even started to teach his son how to cook as well.<\/p>\n<p>You have to take your hat off to the animal as he is clearly one of the smartest creatures on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins<img
