Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.

It's been a while that we could watch chimps fishing for algae. They do it with longer sticks when gathering the algae from the bottom of the water source. The other technique we've recently seen is scooping algae from the surface.
