Monkey

I am thinking about getting a Capuchin monkey. I haven’t ever had a monkey and I am interested in any information you can share with me.

Having a monkey is like having a small child, not a dog or cat. They are a lot of work and may live 20 to 40 years after you get one. They cost 4,000 dollars or more and you may want to check where you live, as there are permits needed in most places. They also require a large space, larger than just a room in a house or an apartment building. Most people, I’ve seen, with capuchin monkeys have large 30 or more foot cages in their backyards. They also require time to get use to captivity and living in a home. I suggest you not get one unless you plan on making such a huge commitment and have the money, time, and temperament to care for one.

I’m looking for one that’s as much like the actual Toy Monkey Music Box used in the play, as possible. If it’s one that was once used in a production that’s even better. If not, I figured there must be a decent replica…if anyone has any answers for me, or even one such box, i would greatly appreciate your information.

Go with a replica. As far as I know, they haven’t ever gotten rid of the ones they use. Besides, those aren’t even a music box. They have one entire side missing (the side away from the audience) and are full of electronics and wire crap.

I found a few on ebay, but keep searching and you might find one off of ebay.

An article about crows using tools to find food. It’s true that monkeys do this but it could be attributed to their intelligence an learned behavior. However, its hard to imagine a crow to have learned behavior to the point of making tools.

Well there are other birds that use tools like the finches of the Galapagos Islands. I read your article and it is talking about an evolved behavior in a presumably subspecies of crow from New Caledonian Islands. Many behaviors are genetic in humans and other animals. It is the imprinted behavior in the genes that is passed down through the survival of the fittest. Learned behaviors are not passed down only the ability to learn them is. These crows have the tool using behavior in their genes because it helped them survive well and pass on the mutation.

Could you please tell me where you get the information? I need to know.

Neither. According to the classic theory of evolution, they are our cousins. We all evolved from a common simian ancestor.

This year I was planning to take my family to Monkey World in Dorset. I was wondering how much it would be for a family of four (two children and two adults). Please may I have your help?
I would also like the season times and the prices.
Thank you.
I would like this information as soon as possible

Admission Charges 2008

FAMILY
2 Adults, 2 Children £31.00

NB.Children must be between 3 and 15 years, under 3’s have free admission.

Opening Times

We are open every day of the year except Christmas Day from 10am until 5pm (10am until 6pm during July and August).

Last admission is 1 hour before closing.

There’s no mention of different seasons, so it looks like those are the prices for the whole of 2008.

Many people seem to know that these happened, but no one can remember who was responsible for them. Additionally, the details often vary, so maybe there were multiple instances of similar experiments?
Information on Harlow’s experiements can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Harlow if you are unfamiliar with the subject.
Specifically, experiments on orphans which would generally be considered cruelty by today’s standards.

I think it was conducted in the early 1920’s. A scientist left babies unattended except for diaper changes. They were fed without any human contact. I know such an experiement was conducted with monkeys, but I seem to recall some human study as well.

Deprivation
Withholding touch from infants generally tends to maintain results of the largest consequences. History has proven that deprivation of touch to infants is quite detrimental, even fatal. Hygienic institutes in 1920 experienced a near 100% infant death rate. Medical scientists were confused. The children were well-fed and well taken care of but left virtually untouched. By the late 1920’s, various changes were made to infant care facilities, including the provision of "mothering." Infants were held, rocked and stroked by nurses at feeding time and other particular periods. Death rates immediately dropped to 40%.

Other consequences to denying infants of tactility do exist. Without physical stimulation, a child cannot become properly aware of the nature or "extent" of his or her own body. This deficiency can result in a retardation or damage of psychological identification with one’s own body, leading to various social developmental problems.

I’m doing an Arctic Monkeys TIMELINE project for school, and need a god website that gives good facts with a date, but not like "this album was released this day" More like "Alex Turner got his first car on bla bla bla" But please do not suggest wikipedia, arcticmonkeys.com, or Mardy-bum.com Thanks!

haha i was just about to say wikipedia when i finished reading your question..umm im not sure where else you could find infomation…why not wiki? i know theres a bunch of stuff on there…

Some thing along the lines of the Discovery Health Channel Program called ReBuilt. This program has to do with amputees and how they are able to regain their full mobility. It also has to do with an article about a monkey that moved a robotic arm using it’s brain.

I was going to suggest googling ‘C leg’. But it looks like you already have keywords. Just plug them in to any search engine.
