Are monkeys really that intelligent?

Post by mistermack » Sat Sep 17, 2011 11:18 pm

I thought that monkeys were supposed to be intelligent.
If this one is anything to go by, I'm amazed that they are still around now !

Iz primate, not monkey.
Baboons are African and Arabian Old World monkeys belonging to the genus Papio, part of the subfamily Cercopithecinae. There are five species, which are some of the largest non-hominid members of the primate order; only the mandrill and the drill are larger. Previously, the closely related gelada (genus Theropithecus) and the two species (mandrill and drill) of genus Mandrillus were grouped in the same genus, and these Old World monkeys are still often referred to as baboons in everyday speech. They range in size and weight depending on species. The Guinea baboon is 50 cm (20 inches) and weighs only 14 kg (30 lb) while the largest chacma baboon can be 120 cm (47 inches) and weigh 40 kg (90 lb).

Swans are delicious. With parsnips, carrots and onions with potato stuffing.

I think the idiots in the jeep should have run out there and saved the baboon. With the video still running, of course. A year later, they could release the footage as The Serengeti Tragedy... or, Me and My Monkey.... or Fuckall We Are Idiots

What does baboon taste like? Seriously?
