WHY WORK WHEN I CAN GET IT FOR FREE?

In a study conducted by animal behaviorist Glen Jensen, many animals prefer to work hard for their food rather than simply eating identical, freely accessible food found in a dish nearby. Fish, birds, gerbils, rats, mice, monkeys, and chimpanzees all prefer a longer, more indirect route to get their meals. In fact, among all the animals in the study, the only species that prefers the direct route is the domestic cat, a trait some might call lazy—but we call highly intelligent.
