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.
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
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.
Generally, scientists are thought to be pretty stiff. But a lab tech at Georgia Health Sciences University bucked the trend on August 13th when he was found drunk and partially clothed in a campus locker room while several monkeys, which he presumably let out of their cages, ran wild. Dude knows how to party!
Any police officer will tell you that dealing with a drunk driver can be extremely strange. After all, drunk people aren't noted for their calm, reasonable reactions to a stressful situation, or their refusal to engage in ridiculous hijinks. Still, one drunk driver might take the cake, considering that he had a monkey for the officers.
What's cuter than a baby monkey and a baby kitten? That would be a baby monkey and a baby kitten engaging in a delightful play fight. Seriously. There is nothing cuter. And if you think there is, after watching this video, please send it our way.
We all know that monkeys are amazing acrobats, but sometimes it takes a video like this to really drive the point home. Check out an ape at the Memphis zoo with some serious ninja skills.
As if videos of one animal riding another wasn't enough, now we've been graced with animal-on-animal wrestling action! Thank you, internet. You're far too good to us.
