I love watching nature documentaries, but so many about reptiles of any kind tend to be... trite and wrong. Imagine if documentaries would talk about mammals the way they talk about reptiles.

#Despite having a brain the size of a lime #The monkey seems to be aware of what's its doing.#Or at least this could be interpreted into this behaviour #however unlike corvids there is no conclusive evidence that monkeys truly understand tool use #as the older mammals never teach their offspring #being thus stuck in a primitive cycle of learning the same basic principles with each generation #etc #crocodiles aren't lizards #crocodiles aren't relics of the past #mammals are not more advanced #and dinosaurs are still all around us (birds)(crocodiles aren't dinosaurs either)
