Monkeys

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.

Zeke, a four year old pigtail macaque belonging to Jeff Jacques, escaped from his cage Sunday and began exploring his Sanford, Florida neighborhood. And while this might sound like the plot of lighthearted comedy perhaps starring Matt LeBlanc, this monkey's day out was anything but funny.

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.

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.

Baby snow monkeys are completely adorable no matter what they're doing, even if they are just sitting on a dock trying to eat your shoelaces.

As predicted by 'Saturday Night Live', Jesus did not intervene in Sunday's match up between the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots, and thus Tim Tebow's string of comeback wins ended at the hands of Tom Brady and company. Nevertheless, something amazing did happen during the highly anticipated game's halftime show. A monkey, dressed as a cowboy, rode a dog around like it was a rodeo bull. Rea

Have art critics gone bananas by dubbing a monkey the "next big thing"?  Pockets Warhol (yes, really), named after the famed pop artist Andy Warhol for his wily white hair, has been making some unique abstract portraits that the art world is -- wait for it -- going "ape" for.

A monkey named Mali enjoys the company of a trio of three-and-a-half week old Aussie doodle puppies, who are up for adoption. Can a monkey have a dog as a pet? Watch below and find out.

If this video from Malaysia is any indication,  no food is safe from thieving monkeys.

In a stunning case of "monkey see, monkey do," two chimps at the St. Louis Zoo walk in such perfect, stride-for-stride unison that they look like CGI recreations of each other. This one has to be seen to be believed.

In this vintage clip, a chimp rides a bicycle around London, confusing human cyclists.
