All monkeys can swim, and some of the species housed at the TNPRC are enthusiastic swimmers. For example, wild cynomolgus macaques may play by dropping out of trees into the water.

We do not remove monkeys from the wild. The TNPRC has a self-sustaining breeding colony of rhesus monkeys. We do obtain some monkeys from captive breeding colonies at other facilities to provide necessary genetic diversity. See similar questions...

It never ceases to amaze my how many hams have nothing better to do than stick their own call into Google to see how internet famous they are. Since GoogleBot digs pretty deep on this web site, sooner or later all the Cluster Monkeys wind up on my Complaint Form page. Sure, I'll take it out, if you ask nice and leave a valid email address that I can reply to.

Possibly. This will depend on several factors. Please discuss your particular situation with your renal team. See similar questions...

There are those who swim from the resort to the island…but you need to be a VERY competent swimmer. Additionally, by swimming, you aren’t able to bring a bag/tote along for your necessities (tanning lotion, snacks, sunglasses, etc.). The island does NOT have a beach, and it is more for recreation and socializing. If you are going to COR, do NOT miss the opportunity to meet some of the wonderful, engaging folks on the island! COUPLES Swept Away—there is no nudity at CSA. See similar questions...

Of course! It's true that the pump is a fairly sensitive instrument and should be protected from being immersed in water. But there are several easy ways to handle the pump when bathing, showering, or swimming. Medtronic Diabetes makes several products that simplify this and other every day issues.

Evolution does not teach that humans evolved from present-day monkeys rather that humans and monkeys share a common ancestor that gave rise to both. New species evolve by splintering off from established ones, when populations of organisms become isolated from the main branch of their family and acquire sufficient differences to remain forever distinct. The parent species may survive indefinitely thereafter, or it may become extinct. See similar questions...

There is one excellent one that I know of. The MCA home page for Twelve Monkeys has lots of neat stuff, even a FAQ with four questions answered by David and Janet Peoples. The two entry points that I find interesting are the Main Page , and a lower-level page with an animated picture at the top. See similar questions...

The dancing monkeys or, if we're being cultural, les singe qui dansent , are those London.pm members who on any given subject will make a lot of noise, offer suggestions, make proclamations, fling faeces, indignantly post about people who they perceived have slighted them, the list, the IRC channel or Perl in general and, by and large, create more noise than signal.

Yes! The most popular beach for swimming, snorkelling or just having fun is on Direction Island. You can visit the island via the Ferry on Saturday or take a day trip with one of the local tour operators. Whatever your choice, don't miss Direction Island. Also Prison Island is another popular area to swim as is many of the channels between the more remote islands. See similar questions...

All children enrolled in the Summer Fun Program swim on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons at the Mt. Lebanon Community Pool, weather permitting. Fees for swimming are an additional cost. See similar questions...

Yes to lagoon, No to swimming pool. Most people getting an average-sized tattoo will have no problem going in the lagoon. In fact, ancient Tahitians used to go into the lagoon immediately after receiving a tattoo in order to speed healing. I do however recommend you use a healing ointment such as tamanu oil, A&D or Biafine and rinse with fresh water after swimming. If you plan on getting a very large tattoo, I would advise staying out of the water 2-3 days. See similar questions...

On all trips, Coast Guard-approved life jackets are provided and must be worn. If you cannot swim or have limited swimming skills we recommend you participate in a Lower Green trip. See similar questions...

Intelligence is difficult to measure, and there are different aspects to intelligence even among humans. But monkeys have excellent memory, complex vocal systems and show sophisticated social strategies that rival those of any soap opera. Monkeys can be taught to use computers to solve problems using a touch-screen or joystick. This ability is one that makes them suitable subjects in studies on how the brain works and how to treat problems that affect the brain. See similar questions...

A socially housed monkey is a happy monkey! We make every effort to house as many of our monkeys as possible in social groups. When monkeys must be housed alone for research or health reasons, extra friendly interaction with people is provided. We also provide for exercise and play, outlets for their curiosity, and activities to occupy their minds and hands. Examples include swings and perches, toys, varied food treats, opportunities to forage, and food puzzle devices. See similar questions...

In addition to books, the Internet is an excellent resource. One of the best places to start is the Primate Information Network (www.primate.wisc.edu/pin/). This site contains a wealth of information and numerous links to other websites. See similar questions...
