"It's true monkeys are very intelligent. If they could figure out how to light a rock, or strike a match, they could destroy all of India. Indeed, the whole world."

Just ask humanity.

One time I was in India with a friend and we were walking around this little hilltop village and a bunch of horrible macaques came rushing out of the trees towards us so I threw my bag of peanuts of my friend's feet and ran away. LOL.

I love this love this love this! My nickname is Monkey so I feel an extra-genetic connection with the little primates.

I dissected a guenon a couple years ago. That thing had the biggest balls I've ever seen, on any mammal. They were so strikingly huge that even the professor, when he came over to check on my progress, remarked, "whoa, check out the testicles on that guy!" and called the rest of the class over.


And that is my story about monkeys.

I did not know that the public was fed up with monkeys stealing their cell phones. Awesome!

Wild chimpanzees are learning how to outwit human hunters.
