4 months agoDehydration is just a symptom of the problem, as the article specifically says these monkeys had heat stroke.
They’re pains in the asses, though, behaving in irritating ways due to the negative effects from our pollution and encroachment. So fuck 'em, right?
I’m older than most probably are on here, but not that old. I desperately wanted to get into animal behavioral science for higher education, but the prevailing thoughts at the time were that most animals are devoid of emotions. Negative reactions were chalked up to a pain response, and anything else was deemed anthropomorphism. I really wish I would have pushed anyway, because we have learned and accepted so much since then.
I would have loved to be involved in discoveries like we have read about in the last ten years. Follow your dreams, kids. Things can change faster than you think.
