Animals Behave Like Humans in Amusing Pranks
A London Standard excerpt recounts various animals displaying clever mischief. A Siamese monkey on a steamer harasses companions, orang utan wears a food dish as a hat, a baboon douses an officer with mud, and dolphins tease fish. Dogs and terriers mimic staged innocence to fetch laughs, with one dog feigning ignorance after failing to catch a fly. The anecdotes illustrate animal humor and social cunning.
