What? No Name?

How about MoJo?

This baby gibbon is from Vienna and he lives in their Schoenbrunn Zoo! He was born on September 23rd and has yet to be named. MoJo is pretty good I think. Maybe you guys have better ideas?

Thanks to the Schoenbrunn Zoo for the picture! If you are in the area check them out!

Half of the World's primates are in Danger!

Or Endangered (sorry I had to get your attention)

(A Yellow-Tailed woolly monkey from Peru)

According to a recent report by a major conservation group almost half the world's primate population faces extinction (that includes monkeys!).

Of the worlds 634 primates species - 48% are threatened by extinction. Mainly due to deforestation, illegal trade of these animals, and commercial bush meat hunting. 

The main species who seem to be the most threatened include apes, lemurs and monkeys!

Animal Warriors - FIGHT BACK

Happy Super Bowl Sunday Everybody!

Watching these athletes reminded me of a story in December about monkeys trained in the art of Taekwodo who actually attacked their Sensei (or master-pictured above).

A bystander said "I saw one punch him in the eye... It was better than a Bruce Lee film". The Sensei (Mr. Wung) said he was very angry and made his students kneel on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs.

I don't know how I feel about their hands being tied - but who am I to argue with their Sensei? If they don't like it they should stop their karate lessons.

I take Karate lessons - I would never turn against my Karate Master Roy (unless he deserved it - but I wouldn't keep taking lessons from him). Keep this in mind Humans! Just because we are small - we monkeys are great Animal Warriors!

PS: I don't know much about both teams but, I have been to New Orleans, and I loved it. If anyone from Indianapolis is reading, and wants to send me to Indianapolis so I can make a fair and unbiased comparison, you know where to reach me. In the meantime, GO SAINTS!!!
