Researchers report that chimpanzees are less likely to steal pineapple from individuals they consider friends than from others, suggesting the animals apply social rules differently depending on relationships. The finding, covered by Popular Science, adds to evidence that chimps recognize social bonds and may show restraint or fairness toward partners they know well.

Why now: The study offers fresh insight into how friendship shapes moral-like behavior in chimpanzees.
