Monkey Business and Monkey Life

Since the release of Kingdom last year, I've been watching ape documentaries. It's been fun because I realized how little I actually knew about chimps, orangs, and gorillas, despite loving the POTA series for so long.

I've now finished watching two shows, Monkey Business and Monkey Life. Both shows focus on the primate rescue center in the United Kingdom, Monkey World. Business was the first show, running for 9 seasons from 1998-2006; Life followed it, starting in 2007 and still running to this day, currently releasing their 17th season.

I wanted to highlight these two shows because of how long running they are. You really get to know individual primates and their care team. Seeing newly rescued chimps get settled into groups and get to live happy lives among their own kind always puts a smile on my face. I cried multiple times when apes or humans would pass away, even knowing I was watching old episodes and these incidents had happened years ago.

The humans who work at the center truly do all they can to help the animals in their care. They help primates overcome their trauma, hand-raise abandoned babies, and work hard to provide enrichment to liven up their days. The rehabilitation and release work they're doing in Vietnam, at their sister sanctuary Dao Tien, is incredible; seeing gibbons and other primates living free in the wild is truly heartwarming.

Monkey Business seems to only be available on Amazon Prime (from what I can find in the USA) but all of Monkey Life can be found on YouTube (the newest 17th season is currently airing in the UK but will be released to YouTube later). You can also buy DVDs of seasons from the Monkey World rescue center. The first season on Monkey Life was narrated by Andy Serkis, our beloved Caesar!

What do you guys think each of the pjo characters preferred movie genres are?

I think Percy definitely loves animated movies and hates when people call them immature but he also likes action movies.

Grover would like those nature documentaries with the British man’s voice in the background

Annabeth would act like she’s all cool and only watches serious stuff but she secretly enjoys a good romcom every now and then.

For anyone in Sweden who loves rabbits, this documentary on rabbits and hares is now streaming on SVT.

(Oh, it seems it's available in some location on youtube as well:

I love when nature docs do that thing where they constantly insist that certain animals are inherently gross and awful even when they’re just living their lives

we can’t just show hyena family life and the little babies. we gotta stress that we think the adults are ugly

Everyone, I've made an important discovery! After decades of being lost media, I've finally discovered the unfinished audio recording of Sir David Attenborough's 90's documentary Monarch of the Lions! Up till now it's only been known from written transcripts! This is so exciting!

It was decided in The Rat Gang server on Discord that a group of Brunos is called a worry, and I couldn’t help but picture a bunch of him standing around nervously like meerkats. 😁
