Default Monkey with a death wish

http://media.putfile.com/Monkey-with-a-death-wish

My buddy sent me this video this morning, and with the talk of evolving from these duded going on in the CE forum, I thought I would share. Looks like lots of fun to me - but I too am often accused of having a death wish. The way he accelerates up the tree branches is so impressive.

I think that is a gibbon, right? Pretty entertaining - never seen anything like that.

Craig, if your so inclined I've heard of an Apache (I think) test in which trackers must stalk up and smack an adult bear on the ass.

No wonder theres not many of those guys around.

ah, I love old home movies. That was during the awkward period before I grew into my arms. Went thru a lot of razors prior to the advent of laser hair removal. And people wonder why my shoulders are screwed up. :p

I heard about that. It happened at a zoo with lots of people watching, right? I feel bad for the monkey, but it would have been a sight to see. Clearly his climbing apparatus wasn't high enough to get out of the bear's reach. Greg, be sure that your bar really is 16 feet up when you make the switch from tigers to bears!

Kuri, that test sounds a little weak. I doubt an adult bear is going to care too much if you smack it on the ass. I think you should have to smack a baby bear right in front of its mother, or maybe taser an adult bear to really piss it off.
