In 1952's "The Road to Bali" with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, the island princess has strong feelings for Bob Hope because he resembles her childhood friend, a monkey with a face that oddly resembles Bob Hope.

This was achieved by putting a Bob Hope mask on a chimpanzee.

A Swedish zoo chimp named Santino calmly stockpiled 3–8 stones per cache before opening time—then, later, while agitated, launched them at visitors, marking one of the first instances of unambiguous evidence that an animal, other than humans, can make spontaneous plans for future events.

sources - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 In 1997, at Sweden’s Furuvik Zoo, a male chimpanzee named Santino began calmly collecting stones from his enclosure’s moat, forming caches of 3 to 8 stones each before visitors arrived. Over the next decade, zoo staff observed this over 50 times. When agitated by crowds, he’d hurl the stones at them in dominance displays. A 2009 study in Current Biology hailed this as the first clear evidence of a non-human animal planning actions in a calm state for a future agitated one, showing advanced foresight. Santino even crafted concrete discs as extra projectiles, underscoring deliberate preparation.
