A clever orangutan was spied creating a tool when he wanted to retrieve a basket floating nearby in the water.
Lucie Štěpničková was visiting the Prague Zoo in the Czech Republic where she captured photos of the ape named Kawi playing in his enclosure.
The ape had his eye on a wicker basket floating in the pond.
Kawi then grabbed a long piece of cloth and started to throw it in the water to make the fabric heavy.
He then used the wet rag, swinging it wildly, to grab the edge of the basket and drag it to shore where he started to play with it.
“Kawi is very cheerful and very resourceful,” said Lucie, a saleswoman from Prague.
“I had the opportunity to see a very unique thing that was very interesting even for ape experts.
After the orangutan succeeded, he took the wet rag and climbed up to a higher place in the climbing jungle and hung it over a branch.
“He then sat under it and began to catch the water dripping from the rag in his mouth.
“It was incredible— and I watched it with my mouth open.
“He is incredibly smart and resourceful.”
