Welcome to Fuck Yeah Monkey a Tumblr by Myles Braithwaite about Monkeys. We have Old and New World Monkeys.
A Macaque borrows a natur photographer’s camera to take some self-portraits of itself.
This reminds me of a monkey from a film, and I can’t remember what one ;-;.
It was definitely a cartoon…
RHESUS MACQUE or RHESUS MONKEY Mom and Baby (Macaca mulatta)
From the series “Clever Monkeys” on KUED.org
- The Rhesus Macaque, also called the Rhesus Monkey, is one of the best known species of Old World monkeys.
- It is listed as Least Concern in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and its tolerance of a broad range of habitats
- They are regular swimmers.
- Babies as young as a few days old can swim, and adults are known to swim over a half mile between islands, but are often found drowned in small groups where their drinking waters lie.
- Rhesus macaques are noted for their tendency to move from rural to urban areas, coming to rely on handouts or refuse from humans.
- They have become a pest in some areas, perceived as a possible risk to public health and safety.
- The Rhesus macaque is well known to science owing to its relatively easy upkeep in captivity, and has been used extensively in medical and biological research.
- It has given its name to the Rhesus factor, one of the elements of a person’s blood group (Rh Positive or Negative)
