Chimpanzees Seen 'Mourning' Late Friend
A group of chimpanzees have been captured on camera apparently lost in grief for the death of a friend.

More than a dozen apes watched in silence from their enclosure in Cameroon as the body of Dorothy, a chimp in her 40s, was wheeled past for burial.
Dorothy, who died of heart failure, was described as a "prominent figure" within the group of about 25 chimps at the Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Centre.
The photo was taken by 30-year-old Monica Szczupider.
She was working at the centre, which cares for orphaned animals whose mothers were killed for the illegal bushmeat trade.
"We were burying Dorothy," she said. "We brought her in the wheelbarrow to let the others see.
"I cannot emphasise enough how silent and still they were. Chimpanzees are typically not like that.
"They are loud, with short attention spans. It was unbelievably emotional. We were all struck."
Are Blue Whales Trying to Summon Their ET Brethren?
They may not be humpbacks, but Blue Whales have been singing a different tune lately, specifically their songs have changed to deeper tones, and scientists don’t know why. Mark McDonald, president of Whale Acoustics, a company that specializes in the sonic monitoring of cetaceans, noticed the change beginning 8 years ago. Their detectors are triggered by songs that match a particular waveform. Every year, McDonald had to set them lower. Scientists do not have any answers at this point, only lots of recordings and lots of questions. Of course, it seems obvious if you’re well versed in your history of the future. They are just communicating with the giant starship-destroying, rod-shaped probe floating in space near the whale home world! Any vulcan could tell you that!
Because EVERYTHING makes more sense when compared to dinosaurs!
