Except for feeding their young or having to share prey with the pack, I can't think of other animals who feed animals out of their species or who so willingly share food.<br />And it shows that we really are related to primates.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-87336186288587451702020-12-09T13:23:27.651-07:002020-12-09T13:23:27.651-07:00It certainly is.It certainly is.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-43193983050086839892020-12-09T13:23:06.389-07:002020-12-09T13:23:06.389-07:00Thanks, Julia!Thanks, Julia!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-47888063625286446242020-12-09T13:22:48.087-07:002020-12-09T13:22:48.087-07:00I'm glad you enjoyed our trip, Gretchen.I'm glad you enjoyed our trip, Gretchen.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-30480616378326907912020-12-09T13:22:27.158-07:002020-12-09T13:22:27.158-07:00Yes, it was a very badly needed break from reality...Yes, it was a very badly needed break from reality.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-52121714730977908232020-12-09T13:21:49.552-07:002020-12-09T13:21:49.552-07:00Perhaps as fellow primates they enjoy feeding the ...Perhaps as fellow primates they enjoy feeding the animals just like we do.

There's a lesson there in the way the monkeys were feeding those who couldn't do it for themselves.

I find it astounding that they feed other animals, throwing dates to them.<br />I remember another photo you posted of a monkey feeding a carp.<br />What a sense of socialization and generosity.<br /><br />Hope you are OK healthwise.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.com
