not actually a monkeyThe first monkey fact that should probably be mentioned is the fact that the Surfing Monkey is actually not a monkey. It’s a chimp. This was first pointed out to me by a biologist friend John Losey and later confirmed by a primatologist. That’s right, we know a real live primatologist.
“Surf Monkey is not a monkey. It’s a chimp. A monkey is not a chimp, it’s an ape. People are apes too. And what I tell my 3 year old is ‘Ape, no have tail'” -Tamsin Woolley-Barker Phd, Evolutionary Anthropology, Primatologist, NYU.
no tail here
yup, "no have tail"
So glad to see the Surf Monkey (chimp) has this site to call home. Also glad to see my diagnosis (of the lack of “monkeyness”) was backed up by an expert.
At last! Smoeone who understands! Thanks for posting!
