I used to have to visit a place at work that had a bunch of research chimps. When we went near the cages, you had to really watch out because those frickers would sometimes pick up one of their own turds and throw it at us!

Disney + has a cool documentary series on chimp life there.
I don’t remember what it’s called though.
