  1. 0:07 Awww how cute, they're depicting Flat Earth cultists as naughty monkeys, who are likeing one another's irrational comments! 😛

    – Cool video! I've always loved watching blackbirds and ravens (any bird really) and new science emerges yearly showing how smart they are; e.g. that these birds communicate using complex regional dependent dialects.

  2. Squirrels do a similar trick when hiding food – otherwise, other nearby squirrels will steal it. First, they pretend to hide it in a half dozen places before actually hiding the food…then they pretend to hide it in 3 or 4 further places to throw the other off. If you watch them carefully, you'll see them pretending to hide something when they're not even carrying it any more. 🙂
