'''Lucy''' was a [[chimpanzee]] owned by the Institute for Primate Studies in [[Oklahoma]]. She was reared by [[human]] |
|||
[[foster parent]]s and taught [[American sign language]]. She appeared in [[Life (magazine)|Life]] magazine, and was famous for |
|||
drinking straight [[gin]], rearing a [[cat]], and her use of [[Playgirl]] and a [[vacuum cleaner]] for sexual gratification. |
|||
Lucy has also been observed [[lie|lying]] - something that only humans are thought to do. |
|||
In this {{ref|next-of-kin}} sign language conversation, [[Roger Fouts]] interrogates Lucy about a pile of chimpanzee excrement in the middle of the floor: |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
Fouts: WHAT THAT?<br> |
|||
Lucy: WHAT THAT?<br> |
|||
Fouts: YOU KNOW. WHAT THAT?<br> |
|||
Lucy: DIRTY DIRTY.<br> |
|||
Fouts: WHOSE DIRTY DIRTY?<br> |
|||
Lucy: SUE.<br> |
|||
Fouts: IT NOT SUE. WHOSE THAT?<br> |
|||
Lucy: ROGER!<br> |
|||
Fouts: NO! NOT MINE. WHOSE?<br> |
|||
Lucy: LUCY DIRTY DIRTY. SORRY LUCY.<br> |
|||
</blockquote> |
|||
When she outgrew her foster parents (chimpanzees are far stronger than humans, and quickly become a handful), Lucy was sent to [[Africa]]. Unfortunately, the notion that she would be happy there proved fanciful and, after a long period of homesickness, Lucy was killed by a [[poacher]]. |
