I sure can!! It he!!
So funny story I’ve watched none of lego monkie kid
Can you tell by how I drew him? Maybe?
I’ve just been consuming all of your content and reblogs and that’s my only source on it
❝C'MON ! SHOW ME THE REAL SUN WUKONG! THE OLD YOU WOULD’VE LEVELED THIS WHOLE MOUNTAIN RANGE TO STOP ME !❞
This baby macaque (looks like a bonnet macaque of southern India?) seems to be carefully investigating a potential food item.

illusztrációm Zboray Ernő : Tizenöt év Jáva szigetén c. könyvének (1936)
“A kókuszpálma” fejezetéhez
“A majommal való kókuszszedés főleg Szumátra-szigetén van elterjedve. A már szelidített majom derekára hosszú kötelet kötnek. A majom felkúszik a fára és az első kezeügyébe akadó kókuszdiót le akarja szedni. Ha a dió még fiatal, akkor a földön álló bennszülött egyet ránt a kötélen, mire a majom egy másik dió után nyúl. Ha ez megfelelő, akkor nyugodtan engedi letépni a diót. Rendkívül mulatságos, de nem egészen veszélytelen a kókuszdiószedésnek ez a módja. Ugyanis ha túlsokat ráncigálják a majmot, akkor az megdühösödik és minden ráncigálás ellenére letépi az első, keze ügyébe eső diót és egy jól irányzott dobással a földön álló bennszülötthöz vágja. Ha a dobás nem talál, akkor boszorkányos gyorsasággal, egymás után vagdossa a földön álló emberhez a diókat, valósággal bombázza a kötelet ráncigáló bennszülöttet. Ilyenkor legtanácsosabb elmenekülni és a majmot magára hagyni. Ha dühe alábbhagyott, akkor ügyesen kinyit egy kókuszdiót, megissza a benne lévő nedvet és mint aki jól végezte dolgát, szépen lemászik a fáról. “

Female Monkeys Seen Having ‘Sexual Interactions’ With Deer
There’s some unusual monkey business happening on an island in Japan.
On December 11, scientists at the University of Lethbridge in Canada published a paper revealing what appear to be sex acts between young female Japanese macaques and sika deer. The wild monkeys were observed mounting the deer in Minoo, central Japan.
Similar monkey-deer interactions on Yakushima Island were reported in January 2017. Locals in Minoo most likely have been observing these behaviors since at least 2014, says study co-author Noëlle Gunst. But while the previous research is based on anecdotal evidence, the current work focuses on the numbers.
According to the team, which also consists of researchers Paul VaseyandJean-Baptiste Leca, this paper is the first quantitative study of sexual interactions between a non-human primate and a non-primate species.
“These findings support the view that monkey-deer mounting behavior is a sexual practice during which the adolescent female monkeys probably derive sexual gratification,” Gunst writes in an email.
DEER MATES
Wild Japanese macaques have long been known to ride sika deer. The monkeys will sometimes groom their four-legged mounts, while the deer get to eat any fruits the macaques drop and occasionally make meals of the monkeys’ feces. (See a weasel flying on a woodpecker, a seal surfing on a whale, and other animals riding animals.)
The latest study looked at mating season interactions from videos of the behavior and hormone testing from fecal samples. The researchers compared 258 monkey-deer interactions to homosexual contact observed between female macaques in the past.
Based on instances of mounting, thrusting, and vocalizations, the team concludes that these relations were, in fact, sexual. In some cases, the macaques also bit the deer or pulled on their antlers. (If you’re wondering, there is video.)
The researchers observed 14 different monkey-deer pairings. In five cases, female monkeys mounted the same quadruped partner three or more times in a 10-minute period and made the same calls heard when monkeys mate with each other. In other cases, female macaques interrupted sex acts started between other monkeys and deer. Gunst says the interactions occurred about once every day and lasted from a few minutes to about two hours.
For the most part, the deer didn’t seem to care. Some of the deer shook the monkeys off their backs, but others stood passively while the monkeys thrusted. In some cases, the deer just kept on eating.
MONKEY MOTIVATION
Interspecies sex is not unheard of; 10 percent of animal species are known to hybridize. But this practice is more common in animals that are anatomically similar. Since monkeys and deer are so physically different, it’s highly unlikely the macaques confused the deer with a potential primate mate.
“Heterospecific sexual interaction between non-closely related species is very rare to observe,” Cédric Sueur, who published the previous study on monkey-deer relations, told National Geographic in January.

Lion-tailed macaque (Macaca silenus)
The lion-tailed macaque is an Old World monkey endemic to the Western Ghats of South India. The lion-tailed macaque is a rainforest dweller; it is diurnal, meaning it is active exclusively in daylight hours. It is a good climber and spends a majority of its life in the upper canopy of tropical moist evergreen forests. Unlike other macaques, it typically avoids humans when possible. Lion-tailed macaque behaviour is characterized by typical patterns such as arboreal living, selectively feeding on a large variety of fruit trees, large interindividual spaces while foraging, and time budgets with high proportion of time devoted to exploration and feeding.
