I was curious if monkey babies also cry (I really thought they don't due to deadly consequences) but found this: https://www.livescience.com/7778-crying-baby-monkeys-nerves.html https://www.livescience.com/7778-crying-baby-monkeys-nerves.... There is an interesting quote: > mothers appear to pay attention to who's around when their young cry. Semple's team observed that when dominant bystanders were nearby, mothers acquiesced to their babies' demands about twice as often as when they were alone or in the company of close relatives, which are more forgiving of tantrums. > The study shows for the first time that, much like people, monkeys are aware of the social consequences of not only their own actions, but those of their babies, too.
