• Geladas live in large harems of up to 800 monkeys and use complex social chatter and Machiavellian intelligence to maintain their groups.
• Vervet monkey orphans at the Twala center can form relationships with humans, toys, and other monkey orphans to learn how to be a monkey.
• Langur bachelor monkeys attack harem leaders to take over females, and a leader who loses his battle loses his legacy.
• Langur monkeys react to the death of a baby with grief and empathy, behaving similarly to how they react when their own babies die.
