Monkey Day

Yes I did find this, but it’s origins are uncertanian. It is speculated to have been a joke or created to draw awareness to monkeys and other primate species as well as their natural habitat.

Monkeys are revered and worshiped as gods in some parts of the world. In the Chinese Calendar the monkey represents the 9th year of 12 year cycle.

These are just a few ways you can celebrate if you choose.

Visit your local zoo and say hello to the primates, including the monkeys.

Take the time to learn more about monkeys.

Donate to an organizaton such as the Born Free Foundation or Pimarily Primates.

Watch one or more of the Planet of the Apes movies.

Make monkey cupcakes.

It is always important to remember that the wild areas of the planet and their inhanitants still need our protection. As habtat continues to be destroyed animal species will continue to be lost.
