Fishing Monkeys?

Real or Fake?

For the first time ever an orangutan using tools to hunt been captured on film. A male orangutan equipped with a large poll trying to spear passing fish in the Gohong River. The orangutan shown had previously seen locals fishing with spears.

I wouldn't doubt they could comprehend how to fish if they saw it being done.
