Controlled #mirror test study on wild #chacma #baboons

'...scientists showed that rhesus monkeys could learn to pass the mirror test after being trained with skin-irritating lasers. Once the animals successfully figured out how mirrors worked, they proceeded to do what some humans might do before a first date: They checked their teeth, combed their hair, and—of course—bent over to inspect their genitals and butts.

'But while MSR tests are usually conducted on small groups of captive primates, these findings may not hold up in wild settings. ...'

"The spectacle of fireflies flying through the summer forest is like the twinkling of a starry sky,” says Koseki. “That sight is fantastic enough to forget the awe of the night forest.” In recent years, the fireflies’ habitat has been increasingly endangered by deforestation and the tourism industry. “The unpredictability of the fireflies’ trails of light highlights the urgency of our planet’s climate crisis, while at the same time holding a strong and enduring hope for the future.”

'..an unprecedented archaeoacoustic study conducted at 27 shelters with San paintings located in the Maloti-Drakensberg mountains (South Africa). ... Drawing on these data, we suggest that in our study area, the choice of sites to be painted may have been predominantly influenced by ontological beliefs concerning how the San perceived the shelters and the surrounding landscape.'
