Primates can have very human behavior, selfishness seems to be Favorited by natural selection, however primatology shows primates to possess feelings such as love, admiration, and generosity. This monkey is showing affection to the dog despite being of different species and origin.
Thanks! No problemExcellent observation I think you might have nailed it already! hm...
That seems like deep affection to me. I guess the bears get lonely out there in the polar regions.
I lived in Churchill, Manitoba. We watched this happen and decided that the reason is because the dogs are given a supply of fish to live off. It is presented in a large block of ice so that they can't eat it all in one sitting. The bears used to kill the dogs and eat the fish. Bears a very smart. They realized that when they did this, the fish supply stopped. If they befriended the dogs, they could get to the fish and the supply kept coming.
I think the monkey is just curious, I don't think that is affection..
Monkey like to steal. maybe it's trying to find something to take from the dog.
This is pretty incredible, but also explainable.
