Researchers observed the behavior of more than forty bonobos in a shelter in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The scientists found that monkeys attacked by their relatives exhibited a stressful situation. They begin to imitate a pup’s cry – sulking, whining and even throwing tantrums. At such moments, other bonobos begin to console them.

Later, scientists noticed that adult bonobos were less likely to re-attack a “crying child” mate after such an event. That is, monkeys can consciously control their emotions to achieve their goals.
