, who frequently steal items from humans -- such as bags, hats, sunglasses, tablets and phones -- and hold them to ransom in exchange for offerings of food.
The authors said the behavior displayed"unprecedented economic decision-making processes" among the monkeys observed as part of the study.The scientists, from the University of Lethbridge, Canada, and Udayana University, Indonesia, observed that, as well as being able to"use objects as symbolic tools to request specific food rewards," the ability of the monkeys to barter successfully increased with age and experience.
The adult monkeys accumulated"several food rewards before returning the token" where the item was of high value, and were"more likely" to accept a"less preferred food reward" in exchange for a lower value item, the study said.
I once had a monkey steal a bag of Ritzcrackers right out of my hand at a temple in HongKongTourism The bag was full 😢
Money was actually spent on this study? 😒 They could have asked a local....
Si comparamos estos animales,con los partidos colorados,y liberaleson identicos,le cortaron el molde,
They sound like average democrat voters
They must be familiar with how Republicans work
yunikadew monyet aja pinter wkwk
'The study found that on average the monkeys possessed an average of 30 IQ points higher than CNN journalists.'
MarkSZaidEsq Humans bring out the best in others.
Now do a study on looting.
Do they trade pardons for money?
Sounds like the GOP
This monkey would do great in business school.
WHO THE HELL IS THIS MR. TRUMP IS THAT YOU ON THE POT,YOU OK UP THERE,YOUVE BEEN IN THERE 2 AND HALF HOURS,HOPE YOU WASHED YOUR HANDS AND COMBED YOUR HAIR ALONG WITH BRUSHIN THAT GRILL....
These monkeys are just above Democrats
So Funny! Unless your the victim! Robbed by a monkey...
That's racist
Is that like 45’s Art of the Deal? Look at that. He bargains just like a monkey.
A study looked at monkeys and found out they had more intelligence than any anchor on CNN.
What cheeky bastards
😂👌🏻
DOGS DO THE SAME THING. Leave Tofu or a Steak on the floor and see which one it chooses
Amazing and not a super given how evolution evolves ☝️🍷🙂
Only a matter of time before Democrats try to teach them how to vote 🤷🏼♂️
So monkeys are smarter then trump supporters
Sono scimmie non stupide
Sounds like democrats..
⬇ DJ Dance monkey ⬇
Monkey Trouble
Problem is these monkeys have no fear of man and people think they are too cute to be controlled by lethal means....... don't understand if I have dominion over all creatures why I'm being manipulated by some of them.
This is very interesting
😂😂
MONKE
Actually they,ve been taught to steal,....
Subscribe guys

Unathi_Kwaza So our ancestors are not as stupid as we think...
Humans steal and get arrested. These moneys take and trade,to survive.
Monkey already evolution to monkey from planet to the apes
If I ever go to Bali I’ll feed them gain their trust and finally build a racket. Then sell my story to Netflix as the Macaque Monkey King . I feed, they stole, we won.
Yeah, I remember this in Bali. It was an adventure. _____ Can't wait to get back at it again ...
Monkeys are literally my least favorite animal! They’re too freakily close to human beings... they creep me out!
Use this for protection
They are also known as Democrats
A screenshot I took a couple of years ago, of a monkey stealing a banana...🤣
Highest value item..that explains why that one monkey stole that guys scalp 🤔😬
TexCzex That’s considered problem solving intelligence. Dolphins, Octopus and a few other mammals have that intelligence even at a minimum level.

asshole monkeys
There was a guy in the 60's who learned this from the people in Bali years ago. They used the monkey's as thieves. The monkey's would trade the stolen items for food and the master sold the items in shops.
And who paid for this study?
There goes your phone!
AmadorGalvezIII They way they are tortured in labs is absolute evil. They feel everything. They miss loved ones. They fear for their lives.
Those Monkeys are smart AF. I was walking back to my hotel in Abud with a bag of chips and Bintang beer. Two ran up and distracted my while another ran behind me and tore the bag. My Beer crashed on the ground and broke while they made off with my chips.
This is less about monkeys being more evolved and more about how our brains essentially haven’t evolved in tens of thousands of years
Carrie45630 Rename them Ferengi monkeys.
Vice should be in red-light districts instead of everywhere.
They're crafty little suckers, unfortunately, they're assisted by the handlers who run the parks in Bali. They have created a business of retrieving the stolen items for a fee. The lesson is, don't walk into the Monkey Jungle wearing jewelry, hats, or glasses if possible.
Wow, who knew Murakami's Shinagawa Monkey had some basis in fact?
My cats certainly are more aware of who is out in my garden. They understand so many of my words. I can understand their eyes. Humans seem to be the least capable
hmh461 Bartering! 😂🤣😂
Reject humanity become monkę
Why don't they just swipe the food and cut out a step? Maybe it entertains them?
Embeekay7 Interesting observation. 🤔Maybe we should consider sponsoring them for office? On second thought, we already had plenty of monkey business happening. 😲🙄Never mind.
Those fucks
LMAO. When I was in Bali last March, a friend had her Ray-bans stolen by a very gangster monkey who sauntered--not walked, mind you, sauntered--up to her, jumped on a ledge next to her and snatched her glasses right off her face then DARED us to do something. Know who won? Him
sounds like socialist democrats
Would you reject humanity and return to the monke to do this with them I would return to monke
Animals should have human rights.
It's hard to believe,too good to be true,I never knew I could make money easily like this,what a great trader ...moshedharrison, I will keep on testifying about your good work on how i made $10,000 within 7days...moshedharrison Thanks very much.....Forex/Bitcoin mining is real
It's sad how much politics there is in this thread.
there's an elephant who does that in Sri Lanka!!!
Almost like politicians - but change food to votes 🤷♂️
Sounds like the trump clan.
MikeyAdams420 PlanetMikey M. Adams: “Been there, buddy....”
Wow. I didn't have getting rickrolled by a Macaque on my apocalypse bingo card.
Yeah, a monkey stole my camera in Amsterdam 33 years ago.
Humans think that intelligence is defined by humans. Creatures have the intelligence they need to live their lives. If humans are so smart why is there so much sadness, cruelty, warfare, pollution? We are really pretty dumb.
These monkeys are smarter than some people
🙈🙉🙊
A politician like Pompey o is not like a monkey stealing everywhere 🐵 Is that right? His behavior is just accumulating his own political capital, not for the overall interests of the country!
Perhaps they should be elected to office. They already know what to steal.
And they can swim and dive. Once climate change puts us underwater, we are toast.
That's what happened with the Lectern at the Capitol.
MrDanielavery Fascinating. Underestimate animals at your own risk!!
BrightonIj 🙈😂
And until this monkey gives me back my boxed set of the Mighty Boosh I'm going to keep throwing poop at him.
Kinda like real life thiefs.
So nature thought macaque monkeys these? Or evolution? Or they are experts in political-economics
Monkey takes wallet = give monkey milkshake. Fair trade
that's incorrect.
So they're nothing more than a primitive crime ring? Someone will teach them sign language and unite them
Monkey batman :)
I bet you $5 this will be on Wait Wait don't tell me this weekend. NPRAskMeAnother
The presidency?
Interesting.
You talking about monkeys? Are you for real? You just got busted being a part of the insurrection organized by ANTIFA and BLM on our House. Is this really a message? This is fun knowingly sedition
That's awesome
Smarter than republicon confederate domestic terrorist party giggles
