    I wanted to confirm this because it was so cool.

    The main hit I found was a National Geographic article (paywall it seems) from Jul 18, 2012

    I get a kick out of the idea that the apes were trying to warm off the humans because the traps are dangerous. Proof that they’re able to tell the difference between human poachers and humans they either know are good or that they’ve never seen before and are effectively “innocent” potential victims.

      Or they don’t know that the traps are made by humans.

    If they’re 4 years old, that makes them generation alpha.

    What if they weren’t worried about the humans, but stopped them so they could give the new guys some field training?
