Genius Chimpanzee Ai Dies at 49

Ai was a very smart chimpanzee who lived in Japan.

She was part of important studies that helped scientists understand how smart chimpanzees can be.

Ai could recognize many Chinese characters, the English alphabet, numbers, and colors.

She could even draw a picture of an apple on a computer screen.

Ai was very curious and loved learning.

She had a son named Ayumu, who was also part of the studies.

Ai passed away at the age of 49 because she got very old and her organs stopped working properly.

Scientists will miss her because she helped them learn a lot about chimpanzee minds.
