🦍💪 While a silverback #gorilla has the power to bend iron bars, even the tiny potto has a grip so strong it’s nearly impossible to move.

👋🐒 We know many #animals greet each other, but the "goodbye" is a much more complicated social feat.

🦝🧠 Researchers have found that #raccoons pack a primate-like number of neurons into their small brains, including specialized cells once thought to be exclusive to #humans and great #apes.

Makaken & Mauritius
Die Makaken sind auf Mauritius eine Touristenattraktion.
Weniger bekannt ist, dass die Tiere auch eingefangen (und gezüchtet) und als Versuchstiere exportiert werden. In Labors in den USA und in Europa sterben sie oft einen jämmerlichen Tod.
