🦊🐛 In the forests of #Madagascar, #lemurs have learned to use #millipedes as a specialized form of #medicine.

By gently biting the #insects, the #primates trigger the release of defensive #chemicals that act as a potent repellent against #malaria-carrying #mosquitoes. The lemurs rub the secretions into their fur and even ingest small amounts to treat internal parasites. The toxins cause a brief, trancelike state.

“Complete intoxication.” Lemurs in Madagascar are licking millipedes – and it’s sending them into a “trancelike state” | Discover Wildlife

To protect themselves from malaria-carrying mosquitoes, some lemurs in Madagascar are turning to poisonous insects – with unusual side effects

Les singes aussi savent exploiter le feu

Les chimpanzés et les vervets cohabitent avec les incendies de brousse et en tirent profit. Des comportements qui pourraient éclairer l’origine de notre propre maîtrise de la combustion.

"People don’t just recognize emotions on the faces of monkeys and apes. They also tend to copy those expressions without meaning to.

A new study suggests that, when we watch a non-human primate look playful or threatening, our own faces subtly echo what we see …"
