Why does every picture of a black and white colobus look like they were just told their whole family is dead?

Monkey Day 

Spend a day at the zoo with these cheeky creatures, throw a monkey-themed fancy dress party or fundraise to protect these precious primates.

Monkeys are interesting creatures – cute, mischievous, and sometimes downright obnoxious (anyone who disagrees has obviously never had their laundry torn down by a family of primates when it’s hanging to dry). Many species of primates are also endangered, and then there are questions of animal rights and the usage of primates in medical research. That’s why there’s Monkey Day, a day that’s been dedicated to raising awareness about non-human primates.

Learn about Monkey Day

Monkey Day has been created to celebrate monkeys, as well as “all things simian,” which includes lemurs, tarsiers, apes, and other non-human primates. It is a great day when it comes to raising awareness about different types of monkeys and primates around the world, as well as the issues they face and how we can help them.

Environmental activists and animal rights activities are especially vocal and passionate about this date. The same goes for art institutions and visual artists. Supporters and celebrates of this date include the Smithsonian Institution, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre Museum, London’s National Portrait Gallery, National Geographic, Greenpeace, and Jane Goodall.

History of Monkey Day

Back in 2000, Casey Sorrow was an art student at Michigan State University, and he ended up writing “Monkey Day” on his friend’s calendar as a prank. But then they actually celebrated the occasion with other art students at MSU, and Sorrow later started collaborating with fellow MSU student on the Fetus-X comic strip, where the holiday was mentioned and popularized. Since then, Monkey Day has been observed internationally as a day to celebrate primates (including monkeys, but also apes, lemurs, and tarsiers).

Sorrow himself still does much to promote the holiday and the cause of primate welfare, and in addition to the Monkey Day website, he also maintains a “Monkeys in the News” blog which discusses primate-related news around the world and comes out with a list of the top ten primate-related news stories from the past year every Monkey Day.

Since Monkey Day was created, it really has gone from strength-to-strength. It is now celebrated in many different corners of the world. This includes Scotland, Turkey, Thailand, Colombia, the United Kingdom, Estonia, Pakistan, India, Germany, and Canada. It has been described by the Washington Post as a day to do the following:

“Learn something about these adorable and highly intelligent primates. Or you could use this day to act like a monkey.”

Monkey Day Timeline

2nd Century AD Claudius Galenus studies monkeys

In the early days of pioneering medicine Galenus (known as Galen) studied monkeys through dissection, noticing their similarities to humans.

1939 Flying monkeys are featured in film Wizard of Oz

In a strange and frightening portion of the plot, monkeys with wings act as minions released by the Wicked Witch of the West to scare off Dorothy and her friends.

1941 Curious George makes debut in books

As monkeys begin appearing in films and books, one of the most endearing monkeys will last in popularity for at least 80 years–Curious George. Although there are only 7 books in the original series by H. A. Ray, the character lives on through an animated television show, videos and even a 2006 feature film.

1959 First monkey in space

A squirrel monkey, Miss Baker, and a rhesus macaque, Able, were the first monkeys who made a successful launch and return to space. They were sent by the United States Air Force on a Jupiter rocket.

2000 Monkey Day begins

As a little joke, Casey Sorrow, a Michigan State University art student, wrote “Monkey Day” on a friend’s calendar just to be silly. Then, in more silliness, they decided to go ahead and celebrate the day with other art students. Later, Casey Sorrow became the co-creator of the weekly Fetus-X comic strip, which was used to promote the day.

How to celebrate Monkey Day

You could simply dress up in a monkey costume and play the part, because there are some people who do just that for Monkey Day and even hold competitions for it. Or you could spend the day at the zoo, because many zoos around the world do hold special celebrations for Monkey Day. Some of these events focus on educational events about monkeys, while others do things like auction off artwork created by chimps and performing intelligence tests on primates.

Even if a local zoo in your area is not hosting an event on this date, we would definitely recommend taking a trip to your nearby zoo and spending some time with the animals. Make sure you do take a look at their calendar beforehand, as zoos all around the world have special activities and talks going on. For example, at Australia’s National Zoo & Aquarium, they hold a number of educational talks and activities that are designed to raise money for endangered species, such as Cotton-top Tamarins in Columbia, as well as increasing awareness.

In Scotland, at the famous Edinburgh Zoo, they raise awareness about the different dangers that primates face by using monkey storytelling. Monkey Day events are also held at The Faruk Yalçın Zoo and Botanical Park in Darıca, Turkey to raise awareness. In India, the Indira Gandhi Zoological Park holds a number of different programs so that children can become educated about issues facing wildlife and so that people are encouraged to adopt monkeys. The list doesn’t end there either. In Pakistan, the Lahore Zoo really goes the extra mile. They hold educational events and art competitions about monkeys, including performances to highlight the threats they face, poetry readings about monkeys, and much more.

Even if you don’t have a monkey at your house, you might consider throwing a monkey day party, inviting all of your friends over (keep in mind that humans are in fact primates too, even without gorilla costumes), and common activities at such celebrations involve films such as King Kong, Planet of the Apes, and Lady Iron Monkey, as well as monkey-themed music (The Monkees, anyone?).

Often, celebrations involve fundraising for primate-related causes and charities, and many organizations around the world dedicated to primates hold Monkey Day events of various sorts. So when Monkey Day comes around, get out there and do it proper, by monkeying around!

Finally, another way that you can celebrate Monkey Day is by watching a film based on this primate! There are so many different types of monkey films. Of course, the Planet of the Apes series of films is the most well-known, but there are many others. Disney’s Monkey Kingdom comes highly recommended. Other famous monkeys on our screens include the Chain-Smoking Capuchin in The Hangover Part II, Clyde in Every Which Way But Loose, Cheeta in Tarzan the Ape Man, George in Curious George, Joe in Mighty Joe Young, and King Louie in The Jungle Book.

What do you think Netflix LEM looks like? If you can, could you draw the design?

I can't draw for shizz, but i can give some details and my fave designs by others! My fave Netflix!LEM designs are by @alicedusstuff here, and by @skollsfate/Neph on twitter!

I love the idea of Netflix's Lui're Mihou/Six Eared Macaque (or "Olive" as I have nicknamed them) having dark fur with a grey/white gradient, and ashen grey skin. Almost like a Colobus Monkey or a White-Handed Gibbon. Still very much a macaque like what the Monkey King resembles, which is what causes confusion.

Netflix!LEM: *saves someone on accident* Villager: "Are you the Monkey King?" Netflix!LEM, not even paying attention: "Yeah sure, whatever." *later* Netflix!LEM: *sees his face on a wanted poster calling for the recapture of The Monkey King* "Crap." *A few years later with the pilgrims* Netflix!SWK, holding a different wanted poster: "Who's this handsome jerk going around saying he's me?!"

While Netflix!SWK and LEM share a similar body plan, their fur and details are all different. LEM has a more angular face, messier fur, rounded lower body, and their hair "fans out" almost like the six lotus-petal-shaped ears they hide within. Its like the differences between Sonic and Shadow the Hedgehogs. Same species, humans just bad at differenting animals.

Extra body deets;

Eyes are a red/purple colour. Unfortunately reminds people of Monkey's red laser eyes (more identity confusion).

White-ish gray face markings kinda like a skull. Very cool.

Has a heart-shaped white marking on their chest. Very few know about it.

Is like a few inches taller than his SWK. Monkey loves and hates it.

Has a beauty mark/mole on their upper lip that stays no matter their transformation.

Colour scheme is grey, black, olive green, with the tiniest splash of blood red.

Monkeying Around - Gorilla Ajabu and Colobus Chase by SloggerVlogger As Ajabu will have to wait a little longer to play with the new baby girl in the troop, he makes do with chasing the black and white colobus monkey around that share the habitat with the troop. I believe it's wonderful natural enrichment. Ajabu is lying on the rope. The colobus monkey sits just behind him, watching. They both simultaneous jump, swing off the rope. In the next clip, down the bottom, Ajabu moves past Kamba, the oldest member in the troop and chases after the monkey. Both the species seem to enjoy teasing each other. Ajabu sits on the log, first beating his chest at the monkey then hitting the log. He wants to be chased. The colobus monkeys gang up and jump at Ajabu. He moves back but then swings his arm and moves towards the monkey again. Ajabu gives it a good try, but they are just too agile for him to catch them. My favourite bit is where Ajabu got a branch with some leaves and teases the monkey with it, as they watch him eat. Even his mum Shinda climbs after the monkeys, doing a splits on the robes, before deciding it's no good and climbs back down again. Ajabu has one more jump at the colobus. #SloggerVlogger #PragueGorillas #gorillatagfun Don't miss a thing—hit Subscribe and Turn on all Notifications to be part of our Great Ape escapades every week. 🛍️Gear up with exclusive merch from our worldwide delivery shop: 🦍Check out rawshutterbug Redbubble for a variety of T-shirts, stickers, apparel, homeware, and much more: 🛍️ https://rb-ambassador.pxf.io/Gorillas #AD #redbubbleambassador 🦍Express yourself with customizable T-shirts, stickers, apparel, homeware, and more from rawshutterbug Zazzle: https://www.zazzle.com/collections/gorilla_gallery-119832843969795462?rf=238978496872225031 🦍Amazon USA 🇺🇲 Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/sloggervlogger #Ad #AmazonAssociate 🦍 Amazon UK 🇬🇧 Store: https://amzn.to/47mDmbA 📷Join the adventure on my travel channel, exploring zoo hyperlapses, walkthroughs, and animal habitats and more. https://youtube.com/@MSVRVisualTravel?sub_confirmation=1 🌐My website: https://msvrvisual.weebly.com/sloggervlogger.html And guess what?

The Mantled guereza (Colobus guereza) is a black-and-white colobus, a type of Old World monkey, native to west central and east Africa. Long white fringes of hair, known as a mantle, run along each side of its black trunk - a particular appearance which is being referred to in its common name. Its face is framed with white hair and it has a long tail which is longer than the head and body combined. The tail ends in a large white tuft, which varies in how much it covers the tail. Being social primates, Mantled guerezas form units of 8 - 15 individuals, including a dominant male, 3 - 4 breeding females along with their offsprings. Sometimes, several other males may temporarily join the group.

Round 2, match 9: black-and-white monkeys

Mantled guereza (Colobus guereza)

These stunning monkeys live in the forests of central Africa. They are well adapted for eating leaves, but will also eat fruit, wood, insects, and soil. Like howler monkeys of South America, guerezas will create a roaring dawn chorus that can be heard from a surprisingly long way away.

Nepal gray langur (Semnopithecus schistaceus)

One of a few primate species to live outside the tropics, the Nepal gray langur lives in the high-altitude forests of the Himalayas. They are semi-arboreal, and relatively adaptable in terms of habitat. They eat mostly leaves and fruits, but have also been reported licking stones, eating soil, and even eating charred bones, all to obtain important dietary minerals. They’re also one of many non-human species documented to engage in homosexual sex!
