When the potato is out, they wash it.The behavior was first observed in the 1950s, and has persisted ever sincewatch the whole video to get the most out of it, it is just a little over 3 minutes long.
In the wild, this species of monkey lives for only around 6 years or so, making this trait one that has persisted for approximately 11 generations. Also, it's a behavior that is regional, not seen in the entire species and only in ones that have encountered others that wash potatoes. Trying to say that this is not a behavior they learn from each other is the equivalent of saying that every literate person for the past 220 years (about 11 human generations) figured out how to read on their own.
They try to find potato on beach? What is the point of this experiment?
How did the first monkey know that? I am not surprised that when one found it, then the other will do the same. It does not take a teaching to learn that. Any animal can do similar. What does that prove?
