I wonder what kind of subject Chimps like to film. This is for real.

The world's first film shot entirely by chimpanzees is to be broadcast by the BBC as part of a natural history documentary.
The apes created the movie using a specially designed chimp-proof camera given to them by primatologists.
The film-making exercise is part of a scientific study into how chimpanzees perceive the world and each other.

I'm pretty sure Michael Bay is a chimpanzee.
