Monkey

They have nothing to do with delicious healthy sandwiches.

Anyone know what’s with the monkeys?

they represent Subway customers~~

monkey the best life possible in captivity. I have enough money to buy the monkey a few friends to keep him/her company and to build the kind of cage necessary even with a tree inside for climbing inside the cage. I have a huge back yard.

Please read this info before you decide to purchase a monkey:

My sister bought a kit to grow sea monkeys, but instead of using distilled water, she used tap water because she didn’t know. Will anything bad happen to them? Will they die?

Depends on your tap water.
My tap water contains chloramines. That would result in dead sea monkeys. My tap water is also "hard." That would decrease the likelihood of the sea monkeys hatching.

if anyone could please help me check if the information i wrote was valid, it would be MUCH appreciated.

I’ll try to help by pointing the parts that might be wrong.

- For the slow loris: the tail is vestigial.
It has fingernails, but the second toe has a long, curved claw.
I would not describe its locomotion as semibrachiation. It has been called "slow climbing" (see this paper http://www.anat.stonybrook.edu/FunMorG/PDFs/ruff.pdf)

- For the mandrill: they do have nails, as all the Cercopithecidae (see http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Cercopithecidae.html)
Mandrills are usually considered quadrupeds – I’m not sure about the bipedal walking.

- For the gibbon: I’m pretty sure it has nails, like all other "true monkeys" with the exception of the Callithrichidae.

- For the colobus: they are arboreal, and they perform "quadrupedal galloping and bounding, and leaping" (according to http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/110484897/abstract ; and by the way, this author also argues that the category "semibrachiation" has no real meaning).
They are also members of Cercopithecidae so they have nails on their fingers.

You can also find other common names for some of those species if you check the pages below.

Hope this helps!

obama is horrible president! just because he is black doesn’t mean anything! he just happens to be black and yet he is the worst president ever!!!!!!!1 deal with it

The reference of a black person resembling a monkey is a profoundly historical racist comment. It has been a tool of dehumanization for centuries and cannot remotely be compared to presenting a white person as monkey looking. There are a freaking gajillion drawings from as far back as pre-abolition showing black people as monkeys. It was used to degrade the value of these people and keep them subjugated. There is no hypocrisy here, just morally lazy people steeped in fear, clinging to the past, hoping their bad behavior is valid because they are uncomfortable with facts. Please. Embrace the racism, and quit trying to ram it down our throats.

and you genuinely see a resemblance?
Or any sort of ape. It’s part of my point, Cocoa. We can see animal features in any person, but when should be offended by it?

If I were to hear that my first thought is going to be, " Oh great… someone is about to get loud and fists are going to start flying". If the black person looked like a monkey, then yes I will see the resemblance, if not then I won’t. Outwardly I am stepping away from the situation and moving to the side. However, depending on how the black person looks ( attire wise), my thought changes. Like a well dressed black person, my thought would be, " I can’t believe this b.ì.t.c.h said that to him/her!" (person calling them monkey is the b.ì.t.c.h).

EDIT: Oh! if the black person really looked like a monkey I would laugh internally and try my best to not show in my facial expression, I’m not stupid…..

Let’s say my sign says Obama is a communist and depicts Obama as a monkey. Now how exactly is that racist?

If I make fun of the way somebody looks does that mean I’m making fun of everybody of that race?
What about all the monkey pictures of Bush or the fact Obama is half white?

No , the same thing was done in regards to Bush calling him a chimp, it could also be argued you were supporting the evolutionary theory!LOL!

Ok, this is a ridiculous question, but, my friend and I are trying to find pictures of tiny monkeys with huge eyes. Can you post a link?

Thanks for putting up with the immature nature of this question!

i think you are referring to bush babies?

It’s small and light with long limbs each ending in a hooked "hand". The tail is prehensile (meaning it can grip) and the tail also has a patch of skin much like the pad of your finger that can grip branches etc. This pad has a unique print, so you can use it to identify individual animals.
