Stories ofAnimals Acting Just Like Humans
◆Monkeys do math












If
monkeys
manage
the
world,
we
might
have
stayed
away
from
the
recent banking hardship. In an experiment led by Keith Chen at Yale, monkeys
showed an understanding of pricing and planning the money, as well as a wish
to stay away from losses when required to buy food with money. Makes sense
this one looks like it’s checking its stocks

on a smart phone. Think that’s
impressive?

◆Camel ea
ts breakfast with people











The
first
time
Joe
ate
with
British
farmers,
he
was
uninvited.
The
four-year-old Bactrian camel stuck his head through their open kitchen window,
and emptied a fruit bowl. Now the couple, who rent out reindeer, camels, goats,


and other creatures for television shows, movies, and photo shoots, set a place
at their table for the confident double-humped creature, where Joe eats grain
food and his favorite: bananas on toast.

◆Marmots

befriend a boy












A
group
of
marmots
in
the
Austrian
Alps
has
made
friends
with
eight-year-old
Matteo
Walch
by
chance,
whose
family
vacations
there
in
summer.
Typically,
they
beat
their
tails,
chatter,
and
whistle
to
warn
other
marmots of danger, but with Matteo, they behave much differently, allowing
the boy to feed, pet, and even touch noses with them. “Watching them makes
me feel a connection with nature,” says Matteo. How sweet!

A studyhas found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow

theaging

.
Researcherssay
that

should
not

becoming
more
weak
or

research
shows
that
a
devotion to a life of movement and exercise mayhelp us live not only longer,
but also healthier.


For their study, the researcherslooked at two groups. The first group was
made up of 125 non- professionalcyclists between the ages of 55 to 79. This
group included 84 healthy men and41 healthy women. We will call this group
the “cyclists”.

Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within
thisgroup, 75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the
ages
of20
and
36.
The
people
in
this
group
were
also
healthy,
but
they
did
notexercise regularly. We will call this group the “non
-
exercisers”.Smokers,
heavy
drinkers
of
alcohol
and
people
with
other
health
issues
were
notincluded in the study.
Then,
researchers
gave
both
groups
a
series
of
tests.
They
tested
theirmuscle mass , muscularstrength, percentage of body fat and the strength
of their immune

systems. Then the researchers compared the results of the
twogroups.
Results
showed
that
the
cyclists
did
not
experience
body
changes
usuallyregarded
as
a
normal
aging
process.
For
example,
they
did
not
lose
muscle
massor
muscular
strength. Also,
their
body
fat
did
not
increase
with
age.
The
researchers
also
found
something
they
had
not
expected.
The
studyshowed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.
The researchers advise us all to find an exercise that we like in ourlives.

A studyshowed that fat was socially catching among friends. People were
actuallymaking one another gain and, sometimes, lose weight. The finding has
beenproved in other populations. So how d
oes friends’ body weight affect
eachother?
One
way
is
imitation .
Brain
scans
show
that
when
you
watch
someone else eat or run,your brain activity is the same as if you were eating or
running yourself,causing you to do the same things.
People
in
experiments
seated
next
to
heavy
eaters
would
eat
more
thanthose
seated
next
to
light
eaters.
Social
examples
also
play
a
role:
If
yourfriend
gains
weight,
you
might
become
less
willing
to
go
to
the
gym
becauseyour friend’s example showed you that weight gain isn’t
the end of
