Then they ran the mice through a series of standardized tests--sort of a rodent sat. In one, the mice were given a paw shock while in a box; after a few rounds, they showed signs of fear from just being in the box, having learned that a shock was likely to follow.

He places his palm against Kala's paw (hands are a major motif in the film) and knows that his mother is different; or, rather, she is the norm, and he the outsider. Africa is his metaphor: the lost continent is his identity. Always he asks, Who or what am I? Where do I belong...
