What about the chimp who would gather rocks when the zoo was closed to throw at visitors the next day?

Is that any different from the crocodile who waits quietly by the riverbank until the gazelles come to drink?

Chimps also will hunt in packs and use spear-like tools.

But neither behavior resembles human consciousness. A person as bright as that chimp would at best be in an institution.
