Animals do have brains....

So last night i was babysitting my neighbors little girl. Who is sooo cute! anyway i put her to bed at around 7:30pm. ( i was surprised that she went to sleep without a fight, not even a single tear!!) so i was down in the kitchen studying math. Now before the parents had left, they had informed me of their Houdini hamster.... (her name is not actually Houdini, you'll soon see why she was called this) 'You see,' they said, 'last night the hamster got out twice, so just keep your eyes on it' Oh dear..... i have to watch a hamster.... i mean i love hamsters i think they are so cute, but if this one escapes i'm not to keen on spending my night chasing it around the house playing hide-n-seek. anyway... so sitting in the kitchen studying math. The dryer was on in the other room, so it was rather noisy. Then after about a half hour, the dryer went off.... now it was just me the silence, and the creepy little hamster. After a few minutes i hear a scratching noise. i get up walk over to the cage and find that the ingenious little hamster is at the back of the cage scratching at the lid. See, the type of cage they had was a sort of globe, and the top just slid up. so the little demon hamster was smart enough to figure out how to open it. Luckily, the humans were smarter and taped the cage. So i walk over there and the little thing looks up with me, acting all innocent..... so he real quick scampers up the tube and sits at the top in his little nest thingy. I go back and sit down and after about ten minutes i hear this scratching noise again.... it was the crazy hamster!!!! What in the world was she thinking??? that i had disappeared and wouln't catch her? so i went over and tapped on the cage.. she looked up at me like 'whaatt?!?!?!?'

so my night consisted of playing 'i see you' with a hamster....
so animals do have brains....
cute story i read in a magazine the other day:
a brother and sister chimpanzee lived together in a zoo. They had tasks to do, and one of these included making a knife out of rock. The brother, because he was older and stronger, could make it easily. so he made it cut the rope and got the banana that fell from it. Then he proceeded to give the knife to his sister. but the trainer wouldn't allow it, she had to make her own. So b4 the trainer took the brother out of the room, he quickly hid the knife under a bush. When the sister was asked to make the knife to receive her food, she found the knife her brother had left an used it.

Wow... animals are amazing!!
