Animal Observation: Understanding Unusual Behavior | Undercover in the Jungle

Naturalists use scientific reasoning to explain unusual behavior in this video from NATURE: Undercover in the Jungle. When a spider monkey climbs down from the treetops, naturalists wonder why it would unnecessarily risk its life for a drink of water. But further observations help them to discover that there is more to the watering hole than meets the eye.
