Q&@
WITH A NEW STRATEGY!
IN THE EARLY MORNING HE TOOK BALES OF STRAW FROM HIS SLEEPING QUARTERS
AND PLACED THEM CLOSE TO THE COMPOUND'S WALL, WHERE VISITORS USUALLY GATHER
TO WATCH THE CHIMPS? HE THEN COLLECTED STONES AND HID THEM UNDER THE STRAW!
An hour or so later, when the first visitors approached, Santino kept his cool, showing no signs
of irritation or aggression? Only when his victims were within range, did Santino suddenly grab
the stones from their hiding place and bombard the frightened humans, who would scuttle in all
directions! In the summer of 2012 Santino sped up the arms race, caching stones not only under
straw bales, but also in tree trunks, buildings and any other suitable hiding place! Yet even Santino
doesn't satisfy the sceptics? How can we be certain that at 7 a.m., when Santino goes about here &
there secreting stones, he is imagining how much fùn it wìll be to pelt the visiting humans 'soon' at
noon? Maybe Santino is driven by some non-conscious algorithm, just like a young squirrel hiding
'his' nuts 'for winter' even though he has never experienced winter? Similarly, say the sceptics,
a male chimp attacking a rival who hurt him weeks earlier isn't really avenging the old insult.
He is just reacting to a momentary feeling of anger, the cause of which is beyond him. And
when a mother elephant sees a lion threatening her calf, she rushes forward & risks her life
not because she remembers that this is her beloved offspring whom she has been nurturing
for months; rather, she is impelled by some unfathomable sense of hostility towards the lion!
And when a dog jùmps for joy when his owner comes home, the dog isn't recognising the man
who fed & cuddled him from infancy. He is simply overwhelmed by an unexplained ecstasy...
