It seems that our kids are not the only ones to enjoy winding up us boring adults. The kids of great apes do as well, it seems - at least according to new research by scientists who spent hours filming them at zoos in San Diego and Leipzig in Germany. Isabelle Laumer is a primatologist at Germany's Max Planck Institute of Animal Behaviour, and she's been speaking to Newshour's James Menendez.
