Washington - You don't have to be a teenager to want to fit in at the school lunch room. Some wild animals seem to follow similar monkey-see, monkey-do behaviour to follow the crowd and find the best eats, new research finds.

South African monkeys switched foods purely because of peer pressure and humpback whales off the coast of New England copied a new way to round up a fish meal, according to two studies in Thursday's edition of the journal Science.


so I wonder if the non social monkeys and whales are also aspies :D
