Celebes crested macaque (Macaca nigra)

This critically endangered monkey is found only in rainforests of the island of Sulawesi, as well as nearby archipelagos such as the Bacan islands. It eats fruits, leaves seeds, fungi, and small animals. It is probably most well-known for taking the infamous ‘monkey selfie’ images which sparked a fierce copyright debate.

The Celebes crested macaque (Macaca nigra), also known as the crested black macaque, Sulawesi crested macaque, the black ape,the yaki, or the wolai is an Old World monkey that lives in the Tangkoko reserve in the north-eastern tip of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi (Celebes), as well as on smaller neighboring islands. Here they inhabit rainforests and typically spend there days on the ground socializing and searching for food such as various fruits, leaves, buds, seeds, fungus, small birds and bird eggs, insects, worms, snails, and the occasional small lizard or frog. While spending there nights resting high up in the trees. Black macaques are a highly social species which lives in groups of five to twenty-five animals, though occasionally groups of up to 75 may occur. Smaller groups have only a single adult male, while larger groups have up to four adult males. However, adult females always outnumber adult males by about 4:1. Reaching around 17 to 24 inches (44 to 60cms) in body length and 8 to 25lbs (3.5 to 10.5lbs) in weight, it is one of the smaller macaque species. The body is black, covered with rough, thick, and wooly fur. The black face of the primate is coated with a dense layer of hair. Compared to other macaques, their skull is more projecting and baboon-like. Hairs on the top of their head compose a crest, facing up and backward. On the rear they possess distinctive kidney-shaped, bright pink ischial callosities. The tail is short, having the form of a nubbin. The Celebes crested macaque is promiscuous, with both males and females mating multiple times with multiple partners. The receptivity of the females is clearly indicated by an extreme swelling and redness of their buttocks. After a 174 day pregnancy a mother typically gives birth to a single offspring which she will nurse for around a year. Under ideal conditions a Celebes crested macaque will reach sexual maturity at around in three to four years, and may live up to 20.

Male African Elephants intertwine their trunks, while female Japanese Macaques sometimes suck on each other's nipples, and male Crested Black Macaques and Savanna Baboons affectionately pat or grab other males' rear ends.

So, mine and @greatsagenewpage big love for the Journey to the West lore/stories has returned tenfold since 2016, since we recently [it was right under our noses...] discovered the wonders of the Lego Monkie Kid Fandom and series. QuQ Above are some arts I've completed in collaboration with DJ. My Celebes Crested Macaque-self as well as the LMK visage we designed for me!

below is a Procreate doodle I drew of us being rambunctious lil' monkeys. The bottomest-est image is of yours truly. :D a;slkfjsdhhhhhhhhh

-------- NOTE: I took a bit of an extensive hiatus, it seems. was previously Megatrxnic on here, but I changed my URL as I usually do on most spontaneous occasions. Transformers is still a comfort and fix, but I change fixations quite often in rotation. I'm very much an open creative, still! <3

____ art is by both @greatsagenewpage and me <3

Shout-out to all the primates which almost got into the tournament, but not quite, including:

Palaeopropithecus, a lemur convergently evolved with a sloth,

(Smokeybjb)

The golden langur, which looks way too human for comfort,

François langur, which lives in and around limestone cliffs for some reason,

The lion-tailed macaque,

The Celebes crested macaque, better known as the monkey which took a selfie that one time,

Theropithecus oswaldi, a giant relative of geladas and mandrills which, despite sporting a huge pair of canine teeth, probably ate mostly grass,

(Roman Uchytel)

And colugos, which aren’t in the tournament because they’re not actually primates, but they are the closest relatives of primates, and they’re winners in my heart.

Err... the photographer was a dude, David J. Slater. His camera wasn't stolen, he had set it up in such a way that the monkeys would be able to take selfies.

The only reason why I remember this is due to the whole fuss the photographer made about Wikipedia refusing to remove it from Wikipedia Commons. He claimed that he had lost at least £10000 at the time due to it being really available on Wikipedia Commons.

Anywho, thanks to the Celebes crested macaques for taking all those selfies, especially you with the toothy grin. You're absolutely stunning.

This really makes the Studios costing themselves even more money (and getting more unions involved) by prolonging the strike for the promise of free ai labor even more fucking funny. you dumb fucking bastards lol

The Mathematical Case for Monkeys Producing Shakespeare—Eventually…

One of the most bizarre research experiments in the history of mathematics, researchers at the University of Plymouth in England gave six Celebes crested macaques at the nearby Paignton Zoo a keyboard.From May 1 to June 22, 2002, the animals let off steam by banging at the keys. The letters they typed were transmitted to the Internet. The scientists’ aim was to test the “infinite monkey theorem”: the idea that a monkey typing randomly on a keyboard will, after an infinite amount of time, produce every conceivable text—including the complete works of Shakespeare.
