Chimps to humour humans

Tired of watching humans in reality shows? You will soon be able to witness the private primate life of gorillas.

Czechs tired of watching humans aping around in reality shows will soon be able to witness the private primate life of gorillas as an alternative, Prague zoo has announced. Starting from November 7, live web casts of one male gorilla, two females and a young gorilla will be shown on a public radio Internet site with scenes from the daily life of the apes also screened on public television.

'It is a meaningful alternative to these so-called people reality shows,' said the zoo official, Vit Kahle. In this unique show the viewers would be asked to vote for their favourite gorilla and the money raised from text messages would directly go towards an existing zoo project to help save gorillas. AFP,
