Ms. FoC sent some new monkey pics from Nepal. One is a cute baby monkey.
The other is the mother of the baby monkey. She is abnormally skinny, so Ms FoC speculates that mamma monkey has a parasite or some other health issue π’
The island of St. Maarten is planning to cull a local population of monkeys. Please sign the petition and share across your socials. The monkeys have a right to live especially when they have been there for hundreds of years and are not disturbing anyone or anything. #Primates #Primatology #Monkeys #StMaarten

Which #animals have complex expressive #FacialExpressions ?
It seems to just be humans and our VERY close relatives - #monkeys all have resting bitch face - and domestic #dogs ?
#PuppyDogEyes seems to be a specific convergence of a very rare trait?
Almost every animal has body language. Most mammals and reptiles have some body language involving head positions to show dominance or submission, and open mouth or showing teeth can be a threat.
But far fewer use the whole face?

There are not enough #monkeys around for "research": https://www.science.org/content/article/supply-monkeys-research-crisis-point-u-s-government-report-concludes.
"I donβt see any short-term solution to this problem."
Maybe instead of wasting money on AI to put tits on celebrities or popes in puffer jackets, and using GPUs to make stoopid bubble currencies and NFT crap, they could be used for medical use rather than subjecting innocent animals to abuse #animalrights #boinc #gridcomputing

An anonymous source shared videos and screenshots of chats from group members, who claim to have paid for #macaques, including babies, to be abused, tortured, and killed on camera.
In another group called #ApesCage, videos showed baby #monkeys being put into blenders, drilled with power tools, and deliberately drowned, while users voted on which weapons they wanted used on monkeys in future #videos.

I just uploaded a gallery of pictures of #monkeys from Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park ε°ηθ°·ιηΏε ¬θ. They weren't bathing in the onsen like they do in winter, but they were hanging around the onsen. https://camerondcampbell.smugmug.com/East-and-Southeast-Asia/Japan/Jigokudani-Snow-Monkey-Park/
Stone tools found in Brazil were not made by humans, but by monkeys. The tools, dating back to 50,000 years ago, show signs of intentional flaking and hammering. This suggests that monkeys have a long history of tool use and cultural transmission. #anthropology #monkeys #tools https://www.heritagedaily.com/2022/12/50000-year-old-stone-tools-were-made-by-monkeys/145671?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FFlipone
I donβt trust monkeys in any sense of the word. They are the only thing of this planet that I have 0% trust in. #monkey #monkeys #trust #thoughts #weedthoughts
