a) It has now been found that chimpanzees use objects - stems, twigs, branches, and leaves-
in a wide range of approaches to achieve assignments related to hunting, drinking,
cleaning, and prepping themselves, examining distant items, and as weapons. In varying
networks chimpanzees make and utilize diverse tools for various purposes. Chimpanzees
have likewise been seen utilizing tools, for example, stone sleds to slash up and decrease
food into littler chomp measured segments. Chimpanzees in Dongola, Senegal, have been
watched making and utilizing wooden spears to chase different primates. They designed
devices to hit at littler primates shielding in holes of empty branches or tree trunks. In one
case the scientists saw a chimpanzee extricate a bushbaby with a spear.
b) The first example is Chimpanzees; folding and swallowing Aspilia spp leaves without
chewing them. Nutritional benefit in swallowing these leaves is to take advantage of their
rough and bristly leaves that hook onto worms and expel them through feces. Secondly,
the tamarin monkeys of South America remove internal parasites by swallowing large
seeds of up to 1.5cm that dislodge them. The third is soil and clay consumption in
Colobine monkeys; eaten as an additional source of nutrition and to detoxify.
c) In the wild, vervet monkeys make different alarm calls to warn of different predators.
Observers playing tape recordings of these calls found that monkeys responded to them
differently depending on the call. If the monkeys heard an “eagle” call, they looked up; if
they heard a “leopard” call, they ran high into the trees. Vervet monkeys are not as
closely related to humans as are African apes. Nevertheless, scientists who have observed
vervet monkeys in their natural environment consider at least three of their alarm calls to
be symbolic because each of them means (refers to) a different kind of predator eagles,
pythons, or leopards and monkeys react differently to each call. For example, they look
up when they hear the “eagle” call. They learn the appropriate referent through
reinforcement: Adult vervets repeat their “correct” calls.
