On the Tuesday thread I was discussing monkeys and apes with @kermitwormit and @weeber and I said I’d create a thread.
I’ve had a busy couple of days and didn’t get around to it. But as I’m currently watching Baby Chimp Rescue on BBC2 now is as good a time as any. Tune in.
So this is the thread to discuss your stories.
What is your favourite type of monkey or ape?
Where have you visited them?
Where do you want to go?
Any random monkey related merchandise you own and are proud of?
You’ll all probably soon realise I’m more obsessed with monkeys and apes than cats, which is saying something.
Shit! Thanks for the reminder that I’m obsessed with them, I need to get down to Monkey World while I’m in the area.
I probably bang on about this all the time, but the best day of my life was visiting the snow monkeys in Japan. I made friends with so many of them.
Honestly the best day of my life, I was so at peace. Lovely trek through the hills to get there, covered in snow deeper than I’d ever seen before. So silent. Then monkey pals. Also I slipped on ice 17 times that day but didn’t stack it, I was truly blessed.
This is a pal I made in Angkor, briefly after I took these photos a Cambodian man laughed in my face because I was so sweaty (cos it was hot, not cos I’m a monkey sex pest)
Saw a whole load of Spider Monkeys out down Calakmul way. They were all too busy moving their babies out of the way of the Howler Monkeys in the distance to be social though. It was great seeing them swing through the trees, some of them carrying their tiny little babies. best I could get was this tiny little photo.
