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. I used to like the Chimpanzees at Southport Zoo back in the day. The shock on people's faces when a handful of marmite was lobbed their way was always entertaining.
I got bitten by a monkey whilst holidaying in Gambia. I had to have rabies jabs as a result! I didn’t have rabies tho
