I’m jealous. I’m still totally a five-year-old at heart when it comes to fuzzy little mammals.
no pressure to change because the environment was boring
Haha. Well, according to the page I just linked (which I just noticed cites its source as The Koala. Natural History, Conservation & Management. Martin & Handasyde. UNSW Press. 1999. P53), koalas have small brains even among marsupials.
Let me know if you think you have an answer to the bigger brains question!
Don’t hold your breath—I’m not in an anthro program, it just happens to be the science I’m taking (because it’s closer to my area of interest than bio or chem is). However, I can tell you that if you put a ferocious-looking mechanical leopard in chimpanzee territory, upon being “attacked” by the leopard, the chimps will pick up sticks and rocks to throw at it. Way to go, li’l cousins.

Just mammals? I’ve petted an owl. It was softer than a chinchilla.
Good point! A set of fuzzy animals which has a large intersection with mammals.
Wow.
