Red-shanked douc (Pygathrix nemaeus)

This fabulous-looking species is found in tropical, sometimes mountainous forests of Southeast Asia. They eat mostly leaves, and have a multi-chambered stomach which allows them to ferment their food, like a ruminant!

Geladas (Theropithecus gelada) painted by Louis Agassiz Fuertes (American, 1874-1927) in 1926-7 and reproduced as offset lithographs in Album of Abyssinian Birds and Mammals, 1930 by the Field Museum (who also hold the original watercolors in their library collection).

Note - Referred to as "Gelada Baboon" in the book, but recent phylogenetic studies place them in a separate clade from other baboons, so simply "Gelada" is preferred...they are also called the "Bleeding-heart Monkey" because of the red skin patch on the chest.

—when ape or monkey infants die, their mothers continue to groom and hold the tiny corpses for days, weeks or months, even as the babies' bodies decay or become mummified.

—found that the primate species was a strong determinant of whether bodies of infants were carried; primates that diverged long ago [like lemurs] did not carry infant bodies after death, but were still found to express grief through other behaviours, such as returning to the corpse or giving “mother-infant contact calls.”

#Crossover #Dead Cells #DC the King #King Conrard #My Headcanon #OC #original characters #Tetra #Theo the monkey boy #artist on tumblr #A Castaigne's rapid appearance #I can imagine him being a proud person #believing himself to be better than others but a coward when it really counts (like Gilderoy Lockhart if you want a better comparison) #Not so egotistica - as he sometimes tries to do the right thingl #as he sometimes tries to do the right thing #Let's move on to Tetra - the sweetest girl in the world #She'll kiss anyone she likes. For people she doesn't know and/or doesn't like - she'll be very polite #giving a more classic greeting (a bow) with a big smile #She's always barefoot. Much to the displeasure of her parent Hyde #And why is her hair done up in the front and not in the back ? #Hyde tried to discipline her hair but it's so long to style that they finally gave up #Tetra doesn't care about her hair. She finds them even more beautiful and atypical like this #She's an 8 - 10 year old and it bothers her too when it takes a long time to do her hair #Conrard - seeing the little girl's kindness - wanted to adopt her BUT Hyde wasn't for it #(imagine a “fight” between “daddies” and her watching the showwaiting for it to calm down) #She could so easily have been the daughter he never had and never will have... AH ! Oops ! Spoiler ! >P #I'll leave you with this information (I'll have to draw this one day !)

Against the World by Escaped Audios is so tonally batshit but I have literally NEVER seen a superhero series of any kind replicate the exact feeling of playing one of my favorite superhero themed tabletop roleplaying games so perfectly so for that (and many other reasons) I adore it.

Like… fr, barring the amount of the straight up murder… Against the World is basically just like listening to a game of Masks. (The only reason there ISN’T murder in Masks is because you’re playing teenage Heros/antiheroes). The tonal shifts make sense to me because every Masks game I have ever been in has been like this.

#legit last Masks session i had my 11 year old super was having a magic powers panic attack #and then the villian was revealed to have monkey powers #and a CHEMISTRY GUN #i was playing a character experiencing massive trauma #but also it was FUNNY #love Against the world for this #Against the World #Escaped Audios Against the World #escaped audios

My first experience with the Hamadryas baboon...I don't know if I have the words. Seemingly otherworldly but so familiar at the same time. Genuinely such an incredible animal to witness. I'll have more to share on them later.

Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata)

Beaten only by humans for the title of the furthest-north primate, this monkey lives in a huge range of climates on the islands of Japan, including snowy and mountainous regions. They are famous for their habit of spending time in hot springs to escape the cold. They are also rather intelligent, one group of macaques inventing the idea to wash their food before consumption. They eat a variety of foods, including leaves, fruits, bark, roots, insects, fish, soil, and fungus. Finally, the Japanese macaque is another species of monkey in which homosexuality has been documented; it has even been proposed that most female members of this species are bisexual!

[ID: Three panels depicting the same sketch; the first is the original sketch itself, and the two panels below are close-ups of the characters.

A full body black and white rough sketch of Monkey D. Garp and Monkey D. Dragon from Shōnen Jump series One Piece by Eiichirō Oda. The piece is set against a blank light gray background. Dragon stands to the right in a more rigid, upright fixed pose. Garp stands to the left, hunched over with his hands in his shorts' pockets, seemingly walking forward. Dragon dresses in his standard attire of a long cloak covering most of his outfit save for what is presumed to be his scarf. Garp is wearing a plain short-sleeved button-up shirt and knee-length shorts; Garp also sports socks and sandals. Both are visibly frowning, with their eyes cast in shadow.

A close-up of Monkey D. Garp's face as depicted in the original sketch.

have u read that 400k superbat pro wrestling au? ik superbat isnt rlly ur thing but its one of my favorite fics on the planet, the character/relationship development is so genuine and its really fun to see how the author ties in all the major DC story beats and plays off kayfabe and all that

I HAVENT??? please please please send a link.... my attention span is in the dirt but i would love to read it, it sounds so interesting....

#also saying sb isnt my thing is so funny to me since ive written about them a lot and love the old worlds finest & their dynamics #makes me wonder what IS my thing..... #also i think my comic motif followers would love kayfabe storylines and draw parallels..... #*the monkey paw curls & theres a webweave of the brothers of destruction and jason & dick (fully missing the dynamic between all of them)*

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Relative to body size, gibbon apes have the longest arms of any primate! Although members of the family Hylobatidae only grow between 40-90 cm (15-35 in) tall, their arms are easily 1.5-2.5 times their height. If a 1.6 m (5 ft 4 in) person were to have the same proportions, their arm span would be over 3 m (10 ft)-- talk about a big stretch!
