This. Also, from the time Binti Jua became a mother, she had been trained by zookeepers to hand them her child for medical care. When she carried the young boy to safety, the keepers believed she was exhibiting the results of her training; not instinct.

Yeah, I remember watching that footage with my wife and I was like “He’s helping him up, looks like he’s protecting him” and then “Oh SHIT! He’s going to kill that kid dragging him around like that. What the hell?!?”

I love her and really respect her opinion on primate behavior. I don’t think her email had as much snark as we are reading in to it. She is 80 after all.
