Children raised by________

I had no idea this was a real thing, but apparently babies can be raised by wolves, goats, and in this one case monkeys.  This article talks about 6 people who when abandoned by humans, were adopted by other species.  It seems horrible for the kids involved, but in truth they didn’t know any different.  It’s amazing how mothers are mothers, no matter if they are people, goats, rats, monkeys, dogs, etc.  It is really touching, to me at least, to see that love and caring are truly universal.  While most humans act above nature, the other 99.99% of the life on this planet proves them wrong every time.

The Mystery Monkey of Tampa Bay and other breaking Simian News

Ok, with all this doom and gloom, thank God monkeys are making headlines today.

First of all, this one is hilarious.  A lab tech got caught with his pants down, partying with two escaped monkeys.  What else to you need to know?  I do hope they were at least female.

The second story is about The Mystery Monkey of Tampa Bay.  Sounds like a cryptid I know.  Read the article, you will not be disappointed.  The monkey even has a blog and is running for mayor.  Nothing funnier that a monkey eluding capture.  It’s like a 5 year buddy comedy.
