Monkey

i am going to be looking for a spider monkey in the near future and i need a good legitimate website to get one

Spider monkies are WILD ANIMALS, not pets…They are taken away from their mothers at a young and and have you not heard of the attacks from monkies? Enjoy them in the wild, not as pets!

When i get my own house, These are the pets that i want SO badly. I know i need a licence for the first 2 because of where im from.

Sorry, but monkeys don’t ever make good pets. Please don’t even consider it. Your "freedom" to choose your pet shouldn’t override the monkeys’ right to live a decent life. You can NOT provide a pet monkey with a decent life.

There are groups that actively advocate what they call ‘responsible ownership’ of primates, but these groups are usually largely concerned more with the maintenance of their ‘right’ to keep monkeys than with the welfare of the monkeys themselves. Groups and individuals that are seriously concerned with the welfare of individual monkeys as well as with human safety and conservation of threatened wild primate species inevitably agree: monkeys are not pets.

There is no such thing as a ‘domestic’ primate – all primates (apart from humans!) are wild animals. Domestication is a process that happens over many generations of selective breeding. Simply being born in captivity does NOT mean domestication!

Chances are, upon reaching adolescence, pet monkeys will become unmanageable, unpredictable and dangerous as they try to assert themselves and as their natural instincts kick in and they do not know what to do with them. Their owners and their owners’ friends and families are at real risk of serious injury. Even small monkeys can be dangerous as they are strong, quick and clever. Pet monkeys who have become threats are often confined to small cages to live out the remainder of their lives with no further hope of social contact.

In order to be kept as pets, primates are usually taken from their mothers as infants – whereas they would naturally depend on their mothers for long periods of time, and would maintain close bonds for years. This separation causes acute psychological suffering and lasting damage to both mothers and infants. This also makes infant monkeys particularly needy and responsive to human interaction – which is often mistaken for happiness by their new ‘owners’.

All primates are social animals. Denied the opportunity to interact with others of their own kind, pet primates often develop serious psychological problems such as severe aggression, depression, and/or stereotypical behaviours such as rocking, pacing and self-mutilation.

Primates have physical and psychological needs which are very difficult to meet in captive situations, such as the need for high levels of intense natural light; the need for vertical space; the need for constant mental stimulation; and the need for an appropriate diet. They are built perfectly for survival in their natural habitats, and are not suited to lives of confinement and solitude.

Wild primates spend a huge portion of their waking hours travelling and foraging in search of food. They urinate and defecate wherever they happen to be. In the home, this translates into destruction and mess.

Some primates can live for forty or fifty years – a factor which is rarely taken into consideration by prospective pet owners. When pet monkeys outlive their owners (or their owners’ finances or patience!), provisions must be made for their future – but sanctuaries are few and many of these are filled to capacity.

Some primates are known to be carriers of diseases which can and do get passed on to humans. The Simian Herpes B virus – which is carried by a “high percentage of macaques” and is “almost always fatal to humans”- is not reliably detectable by testing. Additionally, diseases which seem inconsequential to humans can infect and kill monkeys.

All primates are threatened in the wild. The keeping of pet monkeys in places like the USA and the UK appears to have a negative impact on wild populations, whether directly (to feed these trades) or indirectly (by setting examples… if people in America can keep monkeys as pets, why shouldn’t people in habitat countries?).

Why would anybody choose to keep monkeys as pets in light of all of the above? It is clearly not in the interest of any monkey to be kept as a pet – it is a selfish act that causes all kinds of misery. Please do not do it.

Online sources say that monkey’s heart can beat thrice as fast as humans, with the consequence that monkeys live much shorter, that the number of heartbeats in a lifetime in equaled. My curiosity is on how evolution explains this huge difference in heartbeat. It certainly feels strange to be informed that ancestors have a manic heartbeat.

1. The idea of a limited number of hearbeats is completely false.

2. Monkey heart rates are higher than human heart rates (by about 20%, not 300%) because monkeys are smaller. Smaller mammals tend to have faster heart rates than bigger mammals.

20% is 1.2 times, not 3 times (thrice).

"Monkey Jesus gave his life so that humans would finally recognize intelligent monkeys as a race of intelligent beings deserving of the same rights and respect as humans. To kill a monkey is murder; all hail monkey Jesus! Eat this dried banana slice to show you accept monkey Jesus as your saviour." Writing religious dogma that idiots will later claim is the word of a god is pretty easy, huh?

The sad thing is, this is not essentially different from REAL, SINCERE "holy writ".

It’s not planet of the apes. It’s a older movie and there are like monkey beast things and the one is a leader and he kills the guy who controls them with computer chips. Thanks.

Planet of the Apes

I live in Orange County and I was thinking of buying a pet and I heard monkeys are illegal of course but I hear it’s different for spider monkeys. If you buy it from the Zoo or something it is legal to own one or is this not true? Is there any other way to own any kind of monkey in California, Orange county without it being illegal?

The only way you can leagally own an exotic in California is to get a permit from Fish and Game. So, in other words, NO!!

Please help me figure this out. In the movie 12 monkeys they play a song on the TV for a florida keys vacation and i have heard this same song a lot of times in my life and have never been able to figure out where its from. The sonds kinda sounds like a hawaii type song and it is played in a lot of movies. The song plays a few times in 12 monkeys but mostly when the florida vacation is on TV

Use shazam

Every time I ejaculate I can not control myself and I scream like a howler monkey. Chicks dig it, but it is embarrassing when I pleasure myself?

Help please.

get a ball gag and wear that, or shove a towel in your mouth and duct taping it shut.

With other words that end in y, you change the y to i and add es. Why is it that you don’t change anything in monkeys and just at s?

i guess the englishmen prefered monkeys.

In a circus performance, a monkey is strapped to a sled and both are given an initial speed of 3.0 m/s up a 23.0° inclined track. The combined mass of monkey and sled is 18 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between sled and incline is 0.20. How far up the incline do the monkey and sled move?

when monkey and sled move up forces on it i.e monkey sled system i would prefer to name it as m.s system
now when monkey is pushed the forces on it are " 18*g*sin23 + 0.2*18*g*cos23 "
accleration this forces produce will be in downward direction and is equal to "force/mass"

= force/18
= g*sin23+0.2*cos23
now use "v^2 – u^2 = 2as
a= accleration = " -(g*sin23+0.2*g*cos23)
s= distance traveled= ?
v= final velocity = 0
u= initial velocity = 3.0
taking g=10
=0 – 9= – 2*( 10(sin23+0.2cos23)*s)
s=9/(2*10*(sin23+0.2cos23))
