Monkey

I heard its expensive keeping one and requires 24 hour care but what doesnt make sense is how do people own one and still make a living? How do you work out your schedule for a pet Capuchin monkey?

A lot of people that own them are stay at home moms that have working husbands, I know a person that is a breeder for a living of almost all monkeys and he now owns a capuchin Or if you get 2 capuchins you puut them in a big eclosure while yuo work.
To get a lisence in florida you need to do 1000 hours of working with some one elses capuchin.
They are expensive with huggie diapers for 50 years.
If you plan on getting one please do research

I would also like to know whether any of its animal rights are breached if i train it to entertain guests.

Technically, it’s legal, but you need lots of special permits and liscences, which will run you a few hundred pounds to obtain. No only that, but you will need to provide a very large, suitable enclosure for it, which is also quite expensive. Monkeys are not pets, they are intelligent, unpredictable and social animals and are difficult and expensive to look after. They are also quite dangerous and could easily maul you or your houseguests, no matter how well you think you "trained" him. Unless you can keep them in top quality zoo conditions, including indoor and outdoor enclosures, enclosure designs, maintaining and controlling social groups, nutrition, evacuation procedures in emergencies, procedures in case of escape, etc, then you shouldn’t own one.

What if the monkey religion says monkeys came from flying tree squirrels, and the apostates say, "My daddy ain’t no squirrel"?

are you a breast cancer survivor?

so they can learn to be service animals still in existence? If so, can you give me a link to a website describing it?

Helping Hands: http://www.monkeyhelpers.org/

They may be a little up in the air after recent changes to the definition of "service animal" under the ADA. Effective in six months, only dogs will legally be recognized as service animals under the ADA. However, monkey helpers might still be placed for in home use only. I believe it has always been the policy of Helping Hands that the monkeys they place are for home use anyway, so it may not affect them.

If it is where can i get one, and how much does it cost?

No, they’re banned in Arizona.

"State Permit for Great Apes only (require being bonded)"

Could you marry a spider monkey? & would you dump your boyfriend for a spider monkey?

Haha funny

What is the safest way to remove my sea monkeys from a tank to another? I’m kinda scared to do so I don’t want to hurt them. I just wanted to buy them a bigger tank to decorate it with more stuff because the tank i bought them with is really small, and I obviously need to purify the water on the other tank right? or do I just put them in regular whater? please let me know they just hatched today Aug. 4th. I need as many answers as possible to be extra sure. I really wanna take care of them!

Use a fine-mesh net. As long as you don’t touch them with anything other than the net, moving them shouldn’t hurt them.
The water in the new tank must be dechlorinated, and it also must be highly saline (it needs a lot of salt). If instructions for all this didn’t come with the "monkeys," you can find them online. Do a web search on "raising brine shrimp" (Sea Monkeys and brine shrimp are the same thing).

If the most recent common ancestor of Old World monkeys and New World monkeys was not any type of monkey itself, then why exactly isn’t it considered to be a monkey, even if it is extinct? If it was not a monkey of any kind, then what exactly would it be instead, and why would Old World & New World monkeys both be considered monkeys if they don’t share a monkey ancestor?

"Monkey" is not a formal scientific term. We call certain primates ‘monkeys’ based on some observed physical characteristics, but genetic studies have shown that the "Old World monkeys" (parvorder Catarrhini) are more closely related to the apes than they are to the "New World monkeys" (parvorder Platyrrhini).

So, the last common ancestor of the two "monkey" groups is also the common ancestor of the apes.

The next taxonomic level up is infraorder Simiiformes. It’s likely that the common ancestor of these informal groups contained all the traits common to all simians: a mostly hairless face, a rounded head, reduced olfactory bulbs, a mobile upper lip, small external ears, forward-facing eyes, vertical lower incisors, more-developed tactile sense, a larger brain to body ratio, and only one pair of pectoral mammae (i.e., one pairs of teats on the breast). These traits are opposed to tarsiers and lemurs: two classes of still-existant primates that are not simians. Relationships with those primates are even further back in the evolutionary tree.

If you call those traits enough to be called a monkey, then call it a monkey. If not, then don’t. Science can’t help you because, as stated, "monkey" is not a scientific term. It has no "official" meaning.

What probably happened was that explorers to the New World came across the primates there and called them "monkey" because that’s what they would’ve reminded them of. Similar experiences still happen (albeit much more rarely) when scientists catalogue new species for the first time–mistaking never-before described legless lizards as a type of snake is a rather common one. When all you have to go off of is what you can visually see, you’re going to use a name that seems to fit, rather than refuse to call it anything until you have an opportunity to map out its genome to see where on the evolutionary scale it seems to fit (nor would it help that much–we’ve only mapped the genomes of a tiny fraction of the known species in our world). And, back when explorers were first seeing the morphological similarities, they couldn’t have even conceived of such research.

It says on this pamphlet I have been reading that all sock monkey’s have different personalities! It kind of frightens me, what if I have a crazy psycho rapist monkey?! HELP!

You do realize a sock monkey is a puppet, right? Moral of this is: don’t let crazy people play with your puppet

There was this really really old cartoon I watched when I was little, it was about a monkey wearing a cursed headband. There was also a girl monkey named Di Di or something. This is really bothering me for the last day so I was wondering if anyone else knew xD
I think it had ‘The great’ In the title somewhere.
