Extended description

After I moved to the northern jungles of Malaysia, I watched, observed, and studied from the safety of my window a troop of long-tail macaque monkeys in their natural habitat. I have seen the monkeys play, eat, and communicate with each other, noticing they formed a hierarchical society that mirrors humans. Our hairy little cousins on the tree of evolution act more human than we thought, or depending on perspective, we act more like monkeys.

Quite captivating and well written. Thank you for the glimpse into an amazing edge of the jungle life. You describe the monkeys dominance hierchy very well...the dominant male and his cronies rule a lot like a dictatorship and one could only wish that they had a system more like Jefferson had in mind. - I would like to say one thing to the author though...please...do not feed sugar and white flour products to the monkeys. They are quite susceptible to diabetes and it will also give them sugar highs and lows. - You could substitute dry dog food with protein, vitamins and minerals, which would be much better for their health. Also you can buy monkey chow buscuits from Mazuri at a very reasonable cost. Whole wheat crackers, with no sugar or whole grain bread, also sugar free, would also be good substitutes. Yams and sweet potatoes, raw, are also good. - Thank you again for the delightful monkey tale.
