I've always loved this video of a leopard called Lakadema (sp?). It's a wonderful illustration of intelligence and inter-species maternal instinct.

Wonderful video, but what happened to the baby?

Great video. I wonder what it was that clicked in that lioness' brain to make her mother the antelope rather than killing it.

It says at the end of the video "It was the cold that finally made the baby baboon go quiet" so I'm guessing it died

I think it was a David Attenborough programme that showed crows doing some extraordinary things.
One I recall was that they would pick up a nut that was hard to crack. They'd stand by the side of the road and wait for the traffic lights to stop the cars, then they'd hop into the road and place the nut about 2ft in front of a car wheel, and hop back onto the pavement. The lights go green and the car moves forward and breaks the nut. The crow waits for the lights to turn red again before hopping out into the road and collecting his broken nut. |

What set Humans apart from the other animals is the development of farming.
No other animals have ever developed farming and this was crucial to the beginnings of civilisation. Once people did not have to hunt and gather food they could turn their attentions to other matters. |
