Animals can lie. Oh yes they can.

I saw a doco on YouTube featuring a lowland gorilla who could use sign language quite fluently.
She was caught on CCTV stealing a wooden rod from her toy basket and using it to jemmy open a window. When she was asked, "Did you open the window?" she signed "No."
"Who did?"
"Kate." (Kate was her handler and best friend, who smokes cigarettes. )
"Why did Kate open the window?"
(Gorilla looks away shamefully and signs "Cigarette. ")
She called tobacco "pipe food " and rings "finger bracelets. "
Clever gorilla.
