🤔 What do you think she’s spotting?
Caught this stunning Mandarin Mangabey in a quiet moment. That gaze says it all. What’s on your mind today? 🐵✨

“In the Worlds before Monkey, Primal chaos reigned, Heaven sought order, but the Phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown.
The four worlds formed again and yet again, as endless aeons wheeled and passed.
Time and the pure essences of Heaven, the moisture of the Earth, and the powers of the Sun and the Moon all worked upon a certain rock – old as Creation, and it magically became fertile.
That first egg was named Thought, Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha said ‘With our thoughts we make the world.’
Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch, from it then came a stone Monkey. The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!”

In the Worlds before Monkey,
Primal chaos reigned, Heaven sought order.
But the Phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown.
The four worlds formed again and yet again,
As endless aeons wheeled and passed.
Time and the pure essences of Heaven,
The moistures of the Earth,
And the powers of the Sun and the Moon
All worked upon a certain rock - old as Creation,
And it magically became fertile.
That first egg was named Thought,
Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha,
Said, 'With our thoughts we make the world.'
Elemantal forces caused the egg to hatch,
from it then came a stone Monkey.
The nature of Monkey was irrepressable!
That scene in particular fucked me up - it was NIAGRA here. 😭
It was also good to see a childhood hero of mine return:

This story comes with thanks to @metafilter
Scientists use sleight-of-hand tricks on monkeys to show how sharing a physical ability may be needed to predict how others will move.
A magician is a named researcher on the paper.
The more scientists interact with people with contrasting skills and perspectives - artists in residence, in this case - the better.
I say that with 20 years of lab research behind me.

Just discovered The New Legends of Monkey last night. I'm an old school Monkey Magic fan, so I couldn't help but give it a go. It's entertaining in a b-grade kind of way, just like the original I guess ;) But the relentless cultural mashup keeps pulling me out of the story. It's made in Australia, at least half the cast seem to be Māori, or have strong UK accents. The storytelling and visual aesthetics are a weird mix of Asia, Middle East, and Middle Earth.
