Monkey still leads the way in online searches

According to a recent study by Google, monkey is the animal that still leads the way in online searches. The study found that people were more likely to google information about monkeys than any other animal.

The study was conducted by analyzing data from Google Trends, a tool that measures the relative popularity of keywords over time. The results showed that, from 2004 to 2016, the keyword "monkey" was consistently more popular than any other animal term.

Interestingly, "monkey" was not always the most popular animal search term. In 2004, "poodle" was the most popular animal term. However, "monkey" has been the most popular term since 2005.

So why are people so interested in monkeys? One possible explanation is that people find monkeys interesting and entertaining. Monkeys are often featured in TV shows, movies, and online videos, which could account for their high popularity in online searches.

Another possibility is that people are interested in learning more about monkeys because they want to understand their behavior. Monkeys are known for being social animals and for their intelligence, which could be why people are interested in learning more about them.

Whatever the reason may be, it's clear that monkey is still the king of animal searches!

Monkey selfie lawsuit settled for $5 million

California wildlife officials announced Wednesday that a settlement has been reached in a lawsuit over a selfie taken by a monkey.

Under the terms of the settlement, $5 million will be paid to the wildlife group that filed the suit, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

In addition, PETA will receive the copyright to the now-famous photograph of Naruto, a 7-year-old macaque monkey, and his photographer, David Slater. The group will also be allowed to use the photo royalty-free.

Naruto grabbed Slater's camera during a visit to Indonesia in 2011 and snapped several photos of himself. One of those selfies ended up becoming an internet sensation.

Slater subsequently sued PETA, claiming that he was the rightful owner of the copyright to the photo. He argued that Naruto lacked the legal standing to sue him and should instead be represented by PETA.

A federal judge ruled in Slater's favor last year, but that decision was later overturned by an appeals court. Wednesday's settlement ends the legal battle over who owns the copyright to Naruto's selfie.

Monkey brains may hold the secret to longevity

A study published in the journal Nature reveals that monkeys who consume a diet of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables live up to two years longer than their peers.

The researchers analyzed the diets of more than 100 monkeys living in a free-range environment, and found that those who ate the most antioxidant-rich foods had significantly lower rates of age-related disease and death. In fact, the top 25% of antioxidant-eaters lived an average of 2.4 years longer than the bottom 25%.

So what are some of the best antioxidant-rich foods? Studies have shown that blueberries, strawberries, kale, spinach, and black beans are all excellent sources of antioxidants. And while it's still unclear exactly how antioxidants protect against aging, scientists believe they help quench harmfulfree radicals produced by the body's cells.

So if you're looking to add some longevity to your life, consider adding more antioxidant-rich foods to your diet. You may not become a monkey, but you'll certainly enjoy a longer and healthier life!

Monkey business: Study finds primates are highly inventive

Researchers observing capuchin monkeys and chimpanzees in the wild have found that the primates are highly inventive, using tools to solve problems and getting around obstacles in their environment.

The study, published in the journal PLoS One, involved scientists from universities in Brazil, the United States and Spain spending over 1,500 hours observing 20 groups of capuchins and seven groups of chimpanzees in the wild.

The researchers observed the primates using a variety of tools, including sticks to extract insects from crevices, rocks to smash open nuts and branches to sweep for food on the ground.

They also found that the primates were very resourceful, adapting their behaviour to overcome obstacles in their environment. For example, when confronting a water obstacle, such as a river or stream, the primates would find a way to cross it – either by swimming or by using fallen trees or branches as bridges.

"This study provides clear evidence that our closest living relatives are extremely ingenious when it comes to solving problems and exploiting their environment," said Dr Victoria Horner, one of the authors of the study.

The findings could have implications for our understanding of human evolution. "The next step is to explore how this behaviour may have contributed to early human ancestors' ability to adapt and survive in changing environments," said Horner.

Bananas? Monkeys don't care, they'll eat anything!

Bananas are a type of fruit that grows on a banana tree. People usually eat them when they are ripe, but unripe bananas can also be eaten. Bananas are often used in food such as smoothies and yogurt.

Monkeys don't care, they'll eat anything! Monkeys will eat both ripe and unripe bananas. They also like to eat other fruits, nuts, and insects. Monkeys living in the rainforest have to be careful not to eat poisonous plants.
