If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what the heck was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes. - Nathalie Robin Justice

Of course a monkey would hoard bananas if it could.

I saw a pair of monkeys in separate cages, doing some defined task, after which, they each got a piece of cucumber. All good.
Second time, one monkey got a piece of cucumber, while the other got a prized grape. The one that got the cucumber went off, and ended up throwing the cucumber out of the cage.
Monkeys might not take too well to another monkey hoarding bananas.
