Sure, they might be able to make a call or two, but the authorities usually catch up with them. Take Chippy the chimp at Britain's Blair Drummond Safari Park, for example. After picking his keeper's pocket of a new mobile phone, Chippy thought he'd make a couple of speed-dial prank calls. Zoo officials couldn't figure who was calling them until one of them yelled into their phone, causing Chippy to give up his identity with a startled shriek.
