I was reading and I found this really cool article http://www.biologynews.net/archives/2007/09/12/study_shows_wild_male_chimpanzees_use_stolen_food_to_win_over_the_opposite_sex.html Researchers studying wild chimps in West Africa have discovered that males pinch desirable fruits from local farms and orchards as a means of attracting female mates. What Mrs. Baker was saying about how the male animal brings food to the female before they mate. It is a ritual. It shows that the male animal is a good provider. The study, which took place in the West African village of Bossou in the Republic of Guinea, is the only recorded example of regular sharing of plant foods by unrelated, non-provisioned wild chimpanzees. However, in chimpanzee communities that engage in hunting, meat is frequently used as a ‘social tool’ for nurturing alliances and social bonds. But my question is Is this behavior innate or learned? Mating is it innate or learned?

I didn't get to see most of the museum. There was so much to see. I have to admit I looked at the beautiful, sparkling, shiny jewels most of the time. They were so pretty. :) That's a really cool museum anyways. I have actually been there before. I didn’t get to see most of the museum. There was so much to see.

I went there 2 years ago and saw alot of interesting things there! This museum also reminds me of the museum of natural history in new york city.

At Fernbank they also have many exhibits on display for example the butterfly exhibit and the what would seem like a movie theater but not and you can watch wild life at work.

I really wish I was able to check out the Body Exibit they had going on, that really interests me. I’ve never been to Chicago, most of my friends have and say it’s a pretty cool place.

The T-rex is huge! It's amazing that they could preserve something so old. I bet it takes a lot of work. The Field Museum sounds like lots of fun. The T-rex is huge!

I'm sure you got to meet other cool people just as interested in biology as you are. Did you go with anybody? If so, I bet you found out alot about about them, even if it's like your mom, when you go places like that on a long trip you get to talk for a while, and get a little more personal. Anyways, Cha town is too far, but what about the aquarium in GA? It's got biology written on the front door. I'm sure even if you've been, it'd be a great way to get hands on learning! Good idea, huh? That sounds like a fun trip. I’m sure you got to meet other cool people just as interested in biology as you are. Did you go with anybody?

If I ever visit Chicago, I will be opt to visit there! This summer I went on amazing trips but the one that was most fun is when I went to Charleston. I got to go in the ocean and swim with some dolphins and then if you walked down the beach you could see stranded horse shoe crabs. It was awesome! The museun sounds awesome!
