Amazing photos of Kanzi the bonobo lighting a fire and cooking a meal

These extraordinary photos show a bonobo - also known as a pygmy chimpanzee - named Kanzi collecting wood, breaking it up and putting it into a pile before striking a match to light the fire, and then cooking his meal on the fire.

As a child, Kanzi, who lives in a kennel for monkeys Great Ape Trust of Iowa, repeatedly watched a movie called "The War of fire."

Gradually he began to study treatment at the matches, picking up dry twigs for a campfire, cooking over a fire ...

Now Kanzi can start a fire with matches, set fire to a pan-grill for cooking burgers, spread on a stick lozenges and fry it carefully - so that is not burnt, says The Daily Mail.

In addition, he puts out the fire when he is no longer needed him, and trained to handle fire his son - Teco.
