Monkey's at Zoo grab cell phones from people

From the "dailymail.co.uk":

Zoo's phone monkeys forced to tone it down

A troop of mischievous monkeys at London Zoo have had to be re-trained after showing too much interest in mobile phones.

The ring tones and bright lights proved just too attractive to the squirrel monkeys in their new no-barrier enclosure.

Visitors who held out their phones to video or take photographs attracted attention from the monkeys who attempted to take the object.

A short training programme was developed which put an end to their interest and the monkeys are once again roaming their environment in a more natural state of play.

1. Now all we have to do is retrain the monkeys driving around with them.

Folks with cellphones to their ears, kids in the back seat, and stumbling around a parking lot in a big honking HAV (Human Assault Vehicle) need retraining ... bad.
