 What do you do when the savannah is on fire? If you’re a frightened elephant or gazelle, unable to gauge1 the ferocity or direction of the flames, you run. If you’re a chimpanzee, scientists at the Fongoli research site in Senegal have found, you might not be so concerned. As a matter of fact, you might even do a little dance. Why do savannah chimps2 appear to be unafraid of fire? Scientists believe it’s because they are intelligent enough to predict where the fire is going to spread. Instead of panicking, chimps remain calm near the flames and continue with their daily business. They even have what scientists call a “fire dance.” Similar to the “rain dance” coined by primatologist Jane Goodall, dominant3 males perform an exaggerated, slow motion dominance display toward the fire.
