Four young chimpanzees in an enclosure at the Bronx Zoo in New York show curiosity about the door. One hangs from the hinge and window ledge. One reaches for the lock with his back to door. The other two crouch and watch the progress of the two larger chimpanzees.

They play out of doors, on a "jungle gym" and on a slide, in good weather. Sometimes they get tired of man-made toys, and have a good time all by themselves with such simple "Props" as the hinges on the door that leads to their enclosure."
