It's really interesting that monkey's actually copycat humans and each other. I wonder if monkeys can learn to walk on it's front legs all the time like humans, too.

That was really cool! I thought it was very interesting that the monkeys would imitate the humans. I loved the pictures that they showed. I am an animal lover and I love funny pictures of animals so this was right up my alley!

That's adorable! I loved how monkeys copied you. I wish I could experience that one day with a baby monkey, I bet it is hilarious to watch such a small creature imitate you...I know I'd crack up. But I learned how one of the characteristics of a monkey is that it likes to imitate people, that's one thing I didn't know before. I also learned they do that with their own family too. But that's how baby chimpanzees, macaques, and even everyday monkeys learn how to interact with adults. I just wish they could have given more back up info on why they like to copy others and their characteristics and behavior behind that.

I can see the similarities between the monkeys and my baby sister. She copies EVERYTHING I do and say. It's really cute! :) The monkeys are cute too! I wonder what their names are? It made me laugh that all the monkeys stopped copying the trainers at 14 weeks old. Change the weeks to years, and it's kind of like a human child.
