This 2012 photo provided by the journal Science shows a female Humpback whale named Filament lobtailing prior to feeding dive. Some wild animals seem to follow the same monkey-see, monkey-do social conformity in the quest for good food that people do, a new study finds. Monkeys in South Africa instantly switched food choices _ to something they used to avoid _ purely because of peer pressure, like teenagers in high school, scientists say. And generations of humpback whales off the coast of New England learned a new feeding technique from watching what worked for one of them, according to two studies in Thursday's journal Science.

In this March 2013 photo taken by pilot Rene Joubert and released by the family of Jerry Krause, the twin-engine Beechcraft 1900C aircraft that Krause was flying when he disappeared on April 7, 2013, is shown parked at an unidentified location. Ten days ago, on April 7, Krause disappeared together with his plane just miles from a refueling stop at a West African island in the middle of a tropical storm of thunder and lightning. Since then, searches with a plane and boats have found no trace of Krause, a 54-year-old American missionary and pilot, or the plane that he was flying from South Africa to Mali. Family members say that the plane had been refurbished and the exterior repainted in early April in South Africa. (AP Photo/Rene Joubert) MANDATORY CREDIT

This month, South Africa opened a conversation _ not the first _ over the extent to which the shadow of apartheid drives today's social ills as society fights to overturn entrenched imbalances in services and opportunities. The fresh discussion began with reported comments by Trevor Manuel, national planning minister, that South African officials should assume full responsibility and resist the temptation to continually blame apartheid for missteps.(AP Photo/Jerome Delay, file)
