Pretty much what the title asks. The question popped into my head the other day and I can’t seem to find any answers. Anybody know?
The hip ones can.
WAG: Since they have opposable thumbs, perhaps they can be trained to.
They can snap your fingers, does that count?
I don’t know, but they can’t walk on tightropes.
Huh? (Unless I’m missing a joke here…)
ETA: It’s about time GQ had a question like this. It was getting too stuffy recently.
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
Yes.
Glad I could help.
I think the only problem might be digital dexterity; I’m sure they have the strength and I think their finger shape is similar enough.

Frumpy, you’ve made only 171 posts in 13 years, and for this thread you decided to add one more? And as a hijack? You speak rarely but soothfully.

Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. I would have thought “no”, since the thumbs of the other great apes are shorter than ours, but if orangs can do it, I’d have to think that chimps can, too.
They are the Kings of the swingers.
The jungle VIPs
They’ve reached the top
They’ve had to stop
And that’s what’s bothering me…
Tell them that it’s considered very impolite to get the waiters’ attention by snapping your fingers.
Well it’s not like he can yell “Garcon!” in a properly condescending voice.
Heck, I can’t snap my fingers. Why would a chimp be able to do something I can’t?
The real question is can they snap their thumbs on their feet!
That Orangutan seems to give absolutely no fucks at all. 
“Give me food!”, “No?” “Ah, whatever”.
