A CNN report claims that monkeys can count.
"Though monkeys do not recognize the word 'two' or the symbol '2,' they share with humans the ability to master simple arithmetic on at least the level of a 2-year-old child," Brannon said.
This apparently distinguishes them from certain lower level primates, like the politicians who just passed the budget bill, for instance.
