I feel it would be especially intriguing to get a chance to study the more exotic animals, such as tigers, elephants, and even lemurs.

“we tolerate the enormous wealth some inventors and industrialists accumulate because at least part of the time, they make our lives better too.” (Kluger, 2014, para.6) This idea was supported by the observation of chimps, blue monkeys and ring tail lemurs when it was noted that the higher ranking individuals tended to venture closer to the border of the group’s territory during patrols. This behaviour allowed the lower ranking members to become what the study called “free-riders”, the ones who…
