A recent viral post has brought attention to the fact that monkeys in Bali have learned to steal people's phones or sunglasses to bargain more food.⁠ ⁠ In the video, a woman is negotiating with a monkey to get her phone back while visiting a cliff-side location in Bali. She initially offers one fruit; however, the monkey seems disinterested in her proposal, prompting her to get another fruit from her bag. The monkey eventually agrees with the second offer and hands the phone back to the woman.⁠ ⁠ Dr. Jean-Baptiste Leca, an associate professor in the psychology department at the University of Lethbridge in Canada and lead author of the study, noted that this is an expression of the cultural intelligence of the animal, adding that the monkeys learned the behavior socially and have maintained it “across generations … for at least 30 years in this population.”⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ✍️Comment “email” to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ ⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News NextShark⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #news #monke...
