I’ve witnessed in a zoo in France, the accuracy of the gorilla know to throw his poo at annoying visitors. There is nothing Grandma could have done to avoid the hit.
Comment on Could an animal be taught how to throw accurately?

My understanding is that primates in zoos have fantastic aim.

I don’t remember where (sweden?), but there was this zoo with a chimp who was infamous for throwing rocks at guests that annoyed him. He was also observed collecting a small pile of rocks in the morning that he could use as ammo. So not only was he a decent thrower, but he was also making physical preparation to a negative emotion that he was expecting to feel later in the day - a trait previously not associated with animals.
