Explore Highest position # 91 on Tuesday, July 7, 2009 This baby monkey was moving and doing somersault in the air all the times. I couldn't take his shot. He sat nicely and look at the camera after he got an orange and rumbutan. He didn't touch bananas at all, very strange. The place is in Chiang Mai, northern part of Thailand. The monkey is a Pig-Tailed Macaque, a unique primate that lives in Southeast Asia. Can be identified from the big size and the unique hair style. These kind of monkey are very clever and can be trained to collect coconuts in Thailand and Sumatra. In Malaysia they are trained by botanists to collect specimens from tops of trees. ?????? ???? ?????? (Pig-Tailed macaque) ?????? (Order) Primates ???? (Family) Cercopithecidae ???????????????

Bellini plays with Monkey ALOT. She takes him everywhere. To the top of her new tree, to bed, to the kichen.....he gets a little slobbery. We adopted Monkey from donating to a wildlife fund. This is the climbing tree we got her for her first birthday.
