It’s no coincidence that the two species that pass Hare’s pointing test also share a profound cross-species bond. But scientists had carried out few studies to test those beliefs–until now.

For Coal T**s , resident birds were found to be slimmer than transients, which makes sense as they have better knowledge of the available resources and thus less volatility in their food supply (and of course slimmer birds are better at not being eaten themselves). In science speak, this is named the optimal body mass hypothesis.
