As to the mental qualities of the chimpanzee in captivity, much hasbeen written, and it is agreed that the animal may be ranked among themost highly gifted of its race. It not only learns to know its master, tolove its friends, and avoid its enemies; it is not only inquisitive, butactually desirous of knowledge. Any object which has once excitedits attention increases in value as soon as it has learned how to use it;the chimpanzee is cunning, self-willed, but not stubborn, desiring what isgood for itself, betraying humor and caprices; one day cheerful andexcited, another depressed and sullen.
