Dishonesty often helps them survive. Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example,

26、a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How?

That way, other chimps dont hear them, and they dont need to share their food. As children, many of us learn the saying Yo
