The Wild Animal Kingdom

Filed under: Science — 2/22/2007 @ 1:15 pm

is us?

Chimps make spears, hunt bushbabies, eat the meat, and lick their spears.

Ants don’t like each other, but different ant species coexist because some are better at finding food and others better at guarding it.

Western scrub jays stash food when they knew that they would be facing a food shortage. True this was done in a controlled environment, but it seems like if it works there it will work in the wild as well.

Animals are a lot more like us than we’ve thought.
