Monkey Island | 60 Minutes

Scientists have spent decades studying rhesus macaques on the remote Monkey Island. They're learning how the stress of environmental crises, like hurricanes, impact the monkeys.

The monkeys built an underground fortress shelter. Except for a few who were blown away. Imagine seeing dozens of monkeys blowing in the wind. It's so sad. Monkeys can also fish and eat things from the sea.

[@j_ndgo]

By listening to their remarks at the end of the video I can intuit that they are studying how groups may be affected by another pandemic or entirely natural ecological disaster

[@sergioalaniz3342]

I think they have feelings such as shy and curiosity goes?

[@michellestlicitra9105]

I love monkeys🐒♥️ Have always been a passion ❣️

[@IvanGarcia-cx5jm]

This island always reminds me of the LucasArts Monkey Island video game! Maybe the collaboration exhibited by the monkeys (10:30) is due to the common enemy; the hurricane. Wild guess.

[@josephvongphakdy2877]

I always t thought monkey island was nickname for Rikers

[@rachaeldavis3825]

They came together and become more tolerant of each other after the hurricane much like we in the US came together after 9/11. Tragedy often brings out the good in people….and our distant primate relatives 🐒❤

[@dominiclau9671]

Lol

[@curiousbystander9193]

how did they come up with these conclusions when they brought food in after the storm?..... fed well and traumatized could bring beings together, imagine.

[@Grant918Tulsa]

I wonder how long their lifespan would be. If they weren't eating process foods, they are entirely alive.

[@fortheloveofnoise]

and a garbage fast food brand of all things....you should not even feed that brand of cat or dog food, it is basically fast food....they should be given normal food they would eat in the wild

[@X_crypto1977]

I’ve been through at least 5 major hurricane living on the gulf coast. Do human immune systems also age when experiencing major hurricanes?

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

Any and all stress ages us. So it's safe to say that absoliteu hurricanes age us.

[@gr8gassy]

This is the second longest 60 minutes I’ve ever seen

[@MattMorris481]

I love macaques these kind the pig-tails they are so interesting and cute.

[@ballbby3775]

Yeah they certainly are pretty monkeys those pigtails, southern ones are really beautiful.

[@jimellis2118]

It would seem they huddled as one , more intimate through the traumatic events, recognizing who did what for each's contribution . Think 09/11

[@Apachi-jb4991]

For 80 years of study, they’re still trying to figure them out! Waste of time!

[@kkdoc7864]

Carrots share 98.7% with our DNA. So monkeys aren’t as good as you think they are for comparison to us. So stop using percentages to argue that you are comparing “like” things.

[@mikeyg1776]

Maybe we are just walking bananas? I've concluded humans look very similar to different type of animal species some look like fish, bull dogs, birds ect it's weird once you realize this comment and look around

[@kkdoc7864]

@@mikeyg1776 nope. Bananas only share 50-60%.

[@NinoNiemanThe1st]

Yeah I agree, these % DNA comparisons are totally irrelevant as the subtext is that 'we are almost the same'. Rats share lots of human DNA too (all mammals do), like carrots but a bit closer. If you think monkeys are close to humans just because they share so much DNA, you've fallen for a classic logic fail - use one aspect of similarity, then imply others must be similar too. They're similar because we are primates, that's all.

[@moonshoes11]

@@NinoNiemanThe1st And they are primates because of their DNA.

[@jlitakatheicon9005]

Because we're all from dirt, that's the likeness

[@AllIsWellaus]

But they may never find the answer if they judge the same events. Meaning we can take probably more stress but on a relationship basis. Does does long term abuse grom up the relationships afterwards, what it does to us. Relationships could be the same reason they survive like we do but their body mass, hearts can take less stress. A theory.

I wonder how metabolic healthy they are eating highly processed Purina food.

[@ballbby3775]

Probably not very

[@madamvaudelune3298]

They no doubt supplement what they get with fruit and bugs. Research budgets don't allow for gourmet deliveries.

[@sharoncarlaine8003]

They don't care. And since the entire island is not public, they can get away with whatever sick experiments they want.

God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.
