Do you think WSJ is doing this deliberately? Leaving out the part about how it's actually humans behind it. I've heard of this a long time ago, but I see this is a new story. Probably a hundred generations of monkeys have learned this behavior and they don't need any training or handling at this point!

Seems like an example of “monkey see monkey do”.

Literally!

Young monkeys observe older monkeys doing all this and that’s how the young monkeys learn to do this and it continues across generations.
