Listen everyone, we have the day’s most adorable distraction. They’re cute and hilarious and it’s time for monkey GIFs, y’all! Who knew furry little nuggets could be so entertaining? Answer: we did. Monkeys are entertaining while taking baths, trekking across swamps and hanging out in winter coats. (You have to see it to believe it.) [...]

Watch These Monkeys Riding Around on Other Animals — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 09:00:45 +0000

[onescreen item="5024235"] Monkeys can be troublemakers. They steal. They’re sloppy kissers. And if you’re another animal, one might just jump on your back and use you as a taxi. Now, it’s possible that some of the animals here are generous, willingly hauling these primates around. But not all of them. That one little pig clearly [...]

Mob of Wild Monkeys Are Rampaging Through Indonesia

Donald Deane — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 15:40:29 +0000

Humans may share DNA with monkeys, but, if this report out of Indonesia is any indication, our primate cousins couldn’t care less. On Monday, a mob of approximately 10 wild monkeys went on a rampage in Toddang Pulu village in Sidenreng Rappang District, South Sulawesi and — get this — broke into homes and savagely [...]

Cameron Simcik — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 17:35:16 +0000

If we had to be compared to any animal, it would probably be monkeys. Why? We both like to... well, monkey around. You know-- pranks, Al Roker remixes and standard jokester antics. It just makes life more interesting!

Daily Distraction — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 09:00:25 +0000

Monkeys! *shakes fist*

Yes, they can be awfully cute at times, like when they groom each other or wear people clothes and shop at Ikea. But they can also be quite larcenous, and we have tons of proof.

Ikea Monkey Owner Protesting to Get Her Pet Back

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:53:13 +0000

Earlier this month Darwin, a fashion forward Japanese macaque, charmed the internet by getting loose in an Ikea parking lot and wandering around in a shearling coat. Turns out the little ape belonged to real estate attorney Yasmin Nakhuda. But it was taken into the custody of Toronto Animal Services after the incident and they’ve since transferred Darwin [...]

The Best Ikea Monkey Memes (Plus Video!)

Emerald Catron — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 21:05:22 +0000

In case you missed it, an adorable monkey dressed in a shearling coat made its way into a Toronto Ikea yesterday. As far as we’re concerned, it’s probably the greatest thing that’s ever happened in an Ikea (unless you *like* watching couples fight over 99 cent flatware, you monster). Obviously, we’re not alone in this [...]

Shoppers at an Ikea in Toronto, Canada were surprised to find a very well-dressed monkey wondering around the store’s parking lot Sunday. And, no, this wasn’t part of an attempt to keep customers entertained as they searched for holiday gifts. According to authorities, the primate, who had been left in a parked car, was able to both unlock [...]

Does This Baby Monkey Look Like Albert Einstein?

Emerald Catron — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 17:20:56 +0000

We aren't monkeying around when we say that this macaque apes Albert Einstein perfectly. Okay, now that the primate puns (and attendant alliteration) are out of the way, seriously take a look at this baby macaque. An amateur photographer and professional physicist spotted the monkey in Malaysia. We agree the similarity is uncanny.

After three years on the run, Florida's "Mystery Monkey of Tampa Bay," a 40-pound wild rhesus macaque, has finally been captured. Hey, what's the big deal with a rogue monkey? After all, Florida is already home to people who call 911 because of bologna sandwiches and giant eyeballs on the beach.

Baby Monkey And The Most Patient Cat Ever Are Adorable Playmates

Jeremy Taylor — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 16:15:48 +0000

APEril is a six-month-old white handed gibbon ape. Up Chuck is a middle-aged cat. They both live at the Monkey Island Rescue animal sanctuary and, as you can see in this adorable video, they are playmates. Or, more accurately: APEril really likes playing with Up Chuck (or “Chuck” for short. Apparently the former stray earned her [...]

Patient Cat Tolerates Cute Baby Gibbon

Emerald Catron — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 19:40:38 +0000

We commend this cat, whose patience is dangling by a thread. If cats can grind their teeth, then Chuck (named after her propensity for barfing) must be doing it for this whole video, as extremely playful (and handsy) baby gibbon APEril climbs all over her. That's an awfully brave simian, consider

Does This Newly-Discovered Monkey Look Like Nicolas Cage?

Donald Deane — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:49:09 +0000

We LOLed heartily and shivered in horror at the same time when we first saw 'Nicolas Cage Cats,' an unholy hybrid of felines and the internet's favorite actor. Now, Cage continues his inadvertent domination over the animal kingdom with this photo of a newly-discovered monkey species that looks just like him.

Cooper the Chimpanzee Learns to SCUBA Dive [VIDEO]

Chip Sandalwood — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 11:30:17 +0000

Chimpanzees are generally fearful of water, which makes the fact that Cooper the chimpanzee has learned to swim quite a feat. But that he’s also learned to breathe underwater with a SCUBA tank is truly incredible. All this chimp needs now is a pair of goggles. From the looks of it, he doesn’t much like getting [...]
