美加动物园猩猩也玩iPad
<p>以为只有人类对电子产品痴迷？你错了。美国和加拿大的12家动物园推出的“猩猩玩应用”项目发现原来大猩猩也喜欢玩平板电脑。动物园工作人员表示，园内大猩猩们每周都有两次玩平板电脑的机会，每次持续时间为15分钟到半小时不等，主要取决于它们的注意力集中情况。工作人员发现，猩猩们最喜欢的应用为针对儿童开发的绘画、音乐及记忆类游戏。同时，工作人员还在研究如何通过交流类应用帮助猩猩们更好地表达自己的感受。“猩猩玩英语”项目旨在引发人们对于大猩猩生存困境的关注。不过，由于目前通过捐赠获得的<span word="iPad">iPad</span>都比较容易损坏，所以大猩猩们在玩<span word="iPad">iPad</span>时都由工作人员拿着。主办方正在考虑开发一款尺寸更大、更结实的<span word="iPad">iPad</span>外壳，该项目也将推广到澳大利亚、新西兰、日本以及欧洲的动物园。</p><p><span word="Humans">Humans</span> <span word="aren">aren</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="species">species</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="planet">planet</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="penchant">penchant</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="electronic">electronic</span> <span word="gadgets">gadgets</span>. <span word="Zookeepers">Zookeepers</span> <span word="across">across</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="United">United</span> <span word="States">States</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="Canada">Canada</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="discovering">discovering</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="apes">apes</span> <span word="also">also</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="excited">excited</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="apps">apps</span>.</p><p><span word="As">As</span> <span word="part">part</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="program">program</span> <span word="called">called</span> <span word="Apps">Apps</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="Apes">Apes</span>, 12 <span word="zoos">zoos</span> <span word="across">across</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="countries">countries</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="incorporating">incorporating</span> <span word="iPads">iPads</span> <span word="into">into</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="enrichment">enrichment</span> <span word="time">time</span> <span word="allotted">allotted</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="orangutans">orangutans</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="giant">giant</span> <span word="furry">furry</span> <span word="red">red</span> <span word="primates">primates</span> <span word="native">native</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="Indonesia">Indonesia</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="Malaysia">Malaysia</span>.</p><p>"<span word="We">We</span>'<span word="re">re</span> <span word="finding">finding</span> <span word="that">that</span>, <span word="similar">similar</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="people">people</span>, <span word="they">they</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="touching">touching</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="tablet">tablet</span>, <span word="watching">watching</span> <span word="short">short</span> <span word="videos">videos</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="David">David</span> <span word="Attenborough">Attenborough</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="instance">instance</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="looking">looking</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="other">other</span> <span word="animals">animals</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="orangutans">orangutans</span>," <span word="said">said</span> <span word="Richard">Richard</span> <span word="Zimmerman">Zimmerman</span>, <span word="founding">founding</span> <span word="director">director</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Orangutan">Orangutan</span> <span word="Outreach">Outreach</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="New">New</span> <span word="York">York</span> <span word="City">City</span>-<span word="based">based</span> <span word="non">non</span>-<span word="profit">profit</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="runs">runs</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="program">program</span>.</p>
