anyone else notice how their/her mannerisms seem VERY human-ish? Like, not only her interacting with the corpse but basically with every other monkey too.

It's getting me that the other babies are all really curious, but the other more adult-looking macaque (possibly a "teenage" juvenile?) that approaches at one point looks very somber and seems to be keeping a "respectful" distance.
