Being gentle’s a big strength
Gorilla
A cheeky baby gorilla in the Congo repeatedly swings on a vine around his dad’s head as he tries to have some quiet time.
But while you may expect the seemingly fearsome silverback gorilla to snap, he is gentle and attentive to his young.
Research indicates the most successful silverbacks are caring fathers.
Chris says: “We alwaysthink of gorillas, their size, power, but in fact it’s about their cuddlyness.”
Scientists measured how many times the silverbacks get the chance to reproduce and they can raise five times more young if they are cuddly rather than aggressive.
“I think we’ve all grown up with the idea that male silverback gorillas are all about being big and immensely strong.
But what we’ve learnt through new observations and new science is that male gorillas’ fitness, in terms of how often they can reproduce successfully, is to do with how they respond to their young.”
Thugs know squirrel’s food’s ripe for picking
Giant malabar squirrel
In southern India, these macaques have a feast when jackfruit ripen during the rainy season.
Jackfruit is the largest tree fruit in the world, weighing up to 10kg. But macaques lack the skills to tell when the fruit is ripe.
Instead, the sneaky monkeys let the giant malabar squirrel do the hard work for them.
Chris says: “The squirrels have a keen sense of smell so they can detect the ripest fruits. Macaques watch and then try to muscle in.
“They beat the squirrels around the head and slap them, the squirrels just take it. you’ve got the smart monkey and the belligerent squirrel!”
And they have another way of making sure they come out on top – gnawing through the branch and letting the fruit fall to the ground.
“They know the squirrels won’t follow them down,” says Chris.
Using stone tools for 3,000 years
Capuchin
These clever monkeys live in eastern Brazil, a harsh environment where it is often hard to find food.

“It’s a really great chance to observe nature.”
Pharmacists of the jungle
Blue-eyed black lemurs
Lemurs are only found in Madagascar, where they have evolved into 100 different species – and this species is particularly clever.
Despite their name, only male blue-eyed black lemurs are actually black – the females are brown.
The lemurs are particularly prone to ticks and parasites
but scientists have discovered a remarkable new behaviour that helps them cope.
Chris says: “As well as grooming each other, these lemurs have developed ingenious means of keeping pests at bay – self-medication.
“When carpenter ants feel under attack they spray formic acid. The confusing Females have brown fur, abovelemurs put this to good use and rub it all overthemselves.

Liverpool could reportedly be set to miss out on £35million in performance-related payments tied up in Philippe Coutinho 's move to Barcelona , who are struggling for cash during the coronavirus crisis .
Coutinho left the Reds after five years at Anfield in a headline £142million move in January 2018 , with his future success at the Nou Camp seen as a given by many .

He has featured more often in Bavaria , although the signs are that he wo n't be making the move permanent come the summer .
The deal Liverpool agreed with Barca included several performance related add-ons that they would have been confident that a player of his ability would be able to achieve , ensuring an extra £35million for a player the Reds signed for just £8.5million from Inter Milan in January 2013 .
However the Mail Online report that the Reds are now `` unlikely to receive '' that money due @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Barca , and what 's more there are also concerns over other scheduled payments the Premier League leaders are due to receive .
Barca are currently in the midst of ongoing money worries and infighting at board level , with the club 's players taking a huge 70 per cent pay cut to help out during the coronavirus pandemic .

The deal Liverpool agreed with Barca included several performance related add-ons that they would have been confident that a player of his ability would be able to achieve, ensuring an extra £35million for a player the Reds signed for just £8.5million from Inter Milan in January 2013.
However the Mail Online report that the Reds are now "unlikely to receive" that money due to Coutinho's lack of impact at Barca, and what's more there are also concerns over other scheduled payments the Premier League leaders are due to receive.

Barca are currently in the midst of ongoing money worries and infighting at board level, with the club's players taking a huge 70 per cent pay cut to help out during the coronavirus pandemic.
With TV deals on hold and leagues potentially not finishing around Europe, the Mail report that as much as £100million worth of transfer instalments from foreign clubs into the Premier League are now at risk.
Clubs would have looked to use this money to fund their own deals in the summer transfer market, although that now looks to be severely reduced.

Brits will be asked to pause to remember the at least 95 health and social care workers and other key workers counted among the UK's growing coronavirus death toll
National minute's silence for NHS heroes who died in frontline coronavirus fight
The UK is being asked to observe a minute’s silence next week to remember all the health, care and other key workers who have died from Covid-19.
And Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has backed the move.
Almost 100 health and care workers are believed to have died after contracting coronavirus.
The Department of Health has named 43 NHS workers as victims.

The website, which has produced a map detailing the locations of fatalities, said its data is compiled and checked by a team of nurses.
Now union leaders are calling for a nationwide tribute to those on the front line who have lost their lives.
The Royal College of Nursing, the Royal College of Midwives, and Unison, who between them represent more than a million NHS and public service workers, including porters, refuse collectors and care staff, are urging politicians, employers, people at work and those on lockdown at home to join the tribute at 11am on April 28, which is International Workers’Memorial Day.
Keir Starmer said: “Our key workers are literally putting their lives on the line in the fight against the coronavirus. They represent the best of us.
"That is why Labour wholeheartedly supports the call for a minute’s silence in honour of all those on the frontline who have died from coronavirus.”

Royal College of Midwives general secretary Gill Walton said: “We had expected 2020 to be a celebration of the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife but, although we actively applaud their service, this is not what we had imagined.
“Instead, across the country, midwives and maternity support workers are seeing the impact of coronavirus not only on the women in their care, but on their colleagues as well.”
Unison general secretary Dave Prentis said: “This is the ultimate tribute to remember workers who’ve lost their lives and put themselves in harm's way to keep us safe and vital services running.

On I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, she chomped on cockroaches, burst a fish eye between her teeth and – worst of all – met her future husband Peter Andre.
But Katie Price says her two stints in the jungle were like a “holiday camp” compared to Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, where celebs attempt to pass toughSAS selection.
Katie, 41, quit the remote Scottish island after a few days, saying a breast reduction operation prior to filming had hindered her physically.
“I knew I was in trouble from the minute we arrived ‘somewhere in outer Scotland’,” she moans. “I hate the cold, I have a phobia of water.
“The jungle was a holiday camp in comparison – there was definitely no time for any romance.”
Katie also admits she found it a “challenge” to bite her tongue while being shouted at by tough man Ant Middleton.
She did find time to bond with fellow contestant Anthea Turner, who she hails for not being a “stuck-up prude”.
Anthea, the show’s oldest contestant, resented the nickname given to her by SAS man Ant, 39, who regularly bellowed at her: “Come on, grandma!”
Anthea, 59, grumbles: “I remember looking at him and thinking, ‘I am actually old enough to have given birth to you. I’m not your grandma – but I can be your mum’.
“Maturity helps in situations like this because I hadn’t gone in there to reaffirm things about myself. The elixir of youth is not in a pot of cream, it’s your attitude.”
