They are not kidding about this. Additionally, don't look them in the eyes. Seriously.
I think all of us would like to know what Japanease monkeys eat. Keep in mind that, 'Almost anything,' includes human flesh.
And now it the time for learning what the characteristics of a Japanese Monkey are. The top and bottom pictures are monkey faces. The middle one has red cheeks, and possibly eyebrows, but is not.
Important Monkey facts. Apparently the number of teeth in a monkey's mouth changes often enough to warrant a stick-on sign to keep us updated. Last week monkeys had 33 teeth, but they lost one. Also, the Japanese translation at the top says “If you show food to a monkey, this will be the last thing you ever see.”
Here be monkeys. well, not in this shot in particular, but this is definately monkey territory. And I don't mean territory as in a wild animal's territory, although I guess that's true too, but something like, “You're in snowmobile territory now.” which I guess isn't really a different meaning at all.
Can you see the monkey in THIS picture? It's next to the monkey shaped branch. Just kidding. There's no monkey in this picture.
Monkeys truly are the king of the jungle.
You know how when someone tells not to do something, and it makes you want to do it all the more? And how it's impossible when someone tells you “Don't think of vampires”? Well that is the reason I looked at this monkey and he subsequently yelled at me. For my own safety, I learned to only look at monkey faces through the viewfinder of the camera. Silly monkeys don't realise that I'm looked at their eyes through the camera.
Monkeys, known for their ability to use tools, showcase them here in this picture of a monkey using pianowire to elimate a monkey rival. Monkey.
While the bigger monkey holds down the legs, the faster baby monkey goes for the head.
You guessed it. I looked into this ones eyes too. I was surprised how intimidated I could be of something the size of a toddler.
Monkeyback. The only way to travel. Well, when you're a baby monkey at least.
You may not believe me, but this is definately not what it looks like.
Any picture of a monkey is inherently a good picture because it is a picture of a monkey.
Hunching is a skill that is learned at a young age. Here an adult teaches the young the difficult art of hunching, to later be used when these monkeys inevitably get jobs as office workers and will rely and their strong hunchbacks to keep them over their keyboards.
The loneliest monkey. Awwwwwwwwwwww...
Zoom in for some important Monkey safety info. Don't let this happen to you!
This is me communicating in the international language of food. People say monkeys are stupid, pathetic, worthless, ugly creatures, but these monkeys sure gave me some delicious apples.
