Dog Understanding Leash

Leashes are another thing where dogs often don’t seem to understand, and if they get it tangled around a tree they can be helpless. But in this case, this dog seems to understand. My dog, and many other dogs I’ve seen, are absolutely helpless when a leash gets caught around something. I’ve never seen a dog figure out how to unwind itself. At least this one has figure out that it can pull a cat with a leash.

Koko Using View Master

This is Koko, perhaps the most famous gorilla. His behavior is the result of years of training and interacting with humans, so while it doesn’t show natural behavior, it does show what they are able to learn.

Monkey Turns Off Tap After Drinking Water

I like this one because it shows that it knows to turn it off… I’m curious if that’s because it saw others do that, or it intuitively knows that the supply of water is limited and it should be preserved (probably the first).
