I just read about experiments in cooperation among animals and I was wondering if there is any known evidence of Apes providing food for one another. That is, does one ever seek out food and give it to others? The hunting and foraging behavior outlines I have found all indicate imitation within groups. One animal finds a good source of food, or a good technique, and the others, including the infants, profit by imitation but are never given the fruits of another's labor. Does anyone know?
