Read the fol owing passage and do as directed.
Research on animal behavior shows that many species have deeper emotions
and cognitive abilities than we once thought. In the past, animals were believed to
act purely on instinct, but modern studies reveal that they have inner lives with
thoughts and feelings similar to ours.
Primatologist Dr. Jane Goodal ’s research on wild chimpanzees in Africa
chal enges those old assumptions. She observed that chimps laugh when they play
and cry when they grieve, showing emotions like joy, sadness, fear, and playfulness.
For example, Goodal documented mothers comforting their frightened young by
hugging and grooming them. She also noticed that after conflicts, adult chimps
would groom or sit close together to maintain peace and strong bonds within their
group. Yet, chimpanzees in captivity, deprived of social interaction, often succumb to
depression and emotional il nesses that can be hard to overcome. As intel igent
social animals, they also need companionship.
Goodal ’s groundbreaking observations remind us to respect the emotional
lives of chimpanzees and other animals. Her work has not only inspired studies on
animal behavior but also fueled conservation efforts and raised ethical questions about how we treat animals.
