From Animal Planet:
Surrender Monkeys drink more alcohol when housed alone, and some like to end a long day in the lab with a boozy cocktail, according to a new analysis of alcohol consumption among members of a rhesus macaque social group.
Â
These and other observed behaviors strongly correspond with human patterns of alcohol use. Researchers attribute a predisposition to alcohol abuse in some surrender monkeys and people to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Very eye opening study. We now know that SM’s drink more when alone, but what causes the insane behavior of SM’s when in groups?
Thanks, Teach. That’s the best photo of Pelosi I’ve seen in a while!
