Monkeys in the news

It's not that I'm skeptical about the substance of this story, it seems to me perfectly plausible, but doesn't the picture look awfully staged? Delightful, however... (Thanks to Nico for the link.)Also, if you like monkeys and did not already see this, the Japanese snow-monkey hot-pool webcam is a nice place to visit at times of stress, the fact that you do not always get a sighting makes it more exciting when you get a really good one...

  1. That picture had to have been staged! That's way too cute - baby monkeys never sit still long enough for something like that!

    And most baby monkeys would (sorry to be graphic) bite the head off any bird standing still that close to them. Hmmm... interspecific love - doesn't seem like selection would favor that much! Maybe that's why it makes for such good stories!
