How do primates represent spatial information mentally and use this information for navigation? Researchers have proposed two major mental map representations of space in non-human primates. In a route-based or topological spatial representation map‚ primates have ideal pathways that they make use of repeatedly.

However‚ after watching this‚ my perspective on these creatures drastically changed. After seeing the way they interest with humans and how smart and social they are‚ I realized
