From TORIX BENNETT
I was interested to read that macaque monkeys, if defeated, will take
revenge on a relative of their enemies (Â鶹´«Ã½, Science, 16 January),
but I noted that the study was done on a group of macaques in Rome Zoo.
The mafioso, vendetta-style revenge on the families is intriguing –
I postulate that had a similar study been conducted at London Zoo, the defeated
macaques would have turned away with a quizzical look as though to ‘partake
was enough’.
