…and, and they have stuffed animals too.
It’s perfectly natural. Stop looking at her like that.
The World We Share is reportin’ that a behbeh Mandril monkey was caught snorgling a stuffed animal and sucking her thumb at the Yageer Zoo in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province of China. Hoverfacts and more on this story over at What’s On Ningbo.
What could have sent this totaly over the edge for me would have been for the monkey to have cuddled human baby doll.
I have a small twinge in my heart after looking at these photos. It’s right in between having tears stream down my face and smiling and sighing at this darling baby.
I concur!
This might just be too moiche!
Fancy Butt Monkeys!
(That would sound just awful out of context…)
I love the CO – ‘verse for being just such a context for that very phrase. Sounds like an awesome name for a band too! LOL
I was thinking the same thing….
What a sweetface! I love how she is grasping the bottom of the stuffed monkey with her feet. And those EYES!! Are her fingers clasped around the stuffed monkey’s neck?!!
It’s going to grow up and poop rainbows then?
yes, with glitter !
and Unicorns
Monkeh!
Monkeh-eee!
Monkeh!
Shocking, Theresa!
[singing] Hey, hey, I’m a monkey!
Night-night boo boo.
PS: Baby Mandrill!

PS: Adult male mandrill in DA BRONX:
Bronx Zoo has awesome animules – I still receive the occasional tweet from their former escapee cobra.
Also awesome to think that this sweet bebbeh girl will grow up to be this big, although not as big as this male and (I assume) sans impressive beard.
Re: 2nd pic, omg… never thought I’d see the a-word in a CO hovertext
Bring out the smelling salts, we’re gonna have a lot of bodies littering the ground!
Wow. Beyond heart-melting. So so sweet.
Eeeeeeeee! Theresa, that’s scary looking! Did not watch video, as I was ‘fraid they’d show multicolored butt and not ready for that this morning….
It’s okay. No nether regions are on display in the video.
Thanks for going behind the scene to report on this story for us.
Well, *SOME*body’s gotta hold them stuffie-toys and suck their thumbs.
Them stuffie-toys ain’t a-gonna hold themSELVES, ya know !!!
You tell ‘em!
That is a thumbtastic set of pics!
Fird’s on a tear this morning!
…just sayin’
Extremely cute baby face, really REALLY Disney-like adult face, let alone the multi-hued nethers mentioned in the hovertext. The Designer clearly has a sense of humor.
I think my head just exploded from the cuteness. Unbelievable how darling this little one is…I just want to rock her like a baby and look into those wise eyes.
Yes, oh, yes….smelling salts, please.
Little monkeh better stop sucking her thumb so much, or she’s going to need braces when she’s older, like me…
I watched or read something that actually had proof that great apes (think it may hve just been chimps) and monkeys actually make their own dolls. Girl chimps were observed playing with a stick (doll), and making their stick its own bed to sleep in.
Wish I could remember where I saw this!!
What we really need is footage of the boy chimps changing the stick’s diaper. That be truly Evolutionary.
if not Revolutionary
Hmm, I remembering reading that recently too. Maybe it was on Cracked?
Ya know… maybe. I do go there often.
That monkey is made of unicorns and rainbows.
eye capsules people EYE CAPSULES !!!!!
Does she have webbed back feet? It just looks that way to me for some reason. And is her little mattress spread out on boards that are covering a hole into another room??! In pic #1 it looks like you can see down between the boards into someplace. Weird! Which reminds me…
HOW MUCH BOARD COULD A MANDRILL HOARD
IF THE MANDRILL HORDES GOT BORED?
(yeah, I was really reaching for that one…) insert blushy sheepish emoticon here
How many men would a mandrill drill, if a mandrill can drill men? :blush:
Everyone needs a hug
Awwwwwwwwww….. Cutest monkey babeh ever!!!
Hey guys, be careful with this sort of thing. Something this cute => viral could shut down the web.
Well. I was scrolling through all the pictures I’ve missed during the work week and came across…this. This is…heart stoppingly adorable and beautiful. I had to apply the defibrilator to myself. What beautiful photos of the sweetest little baby! Wow! Just…Wow! *melting happily*
What a precious tiny monkeh, with such a sweet sensitive wee face! But I am dying to know some more of the story behind the pic., like where is his mum? Was she a first-time mother who couldn’t cope, or did she get sick and couldn’t feed him, or was he orphaned? I just want to hug the poor wee man…
