official museum photo 1, front view “This tsuba shows a group of eight monkeys in and around a peach tree, with one monkey actually holding a peach in his hand. The faces of each of the monkeys are inlaid in copper. Both hitsu-ana (openings for scabbard accessories) have been plugged with gilt copper plugs of which one has come off. Monkeys fetching peaches is a common subject in Chinese and Japanese art. A Chinese legend has it that Su Wukong (Japanese: Son Gokū, 孫悟空), better known as Monkey King, steals the Peaches of Immortality guarded by the Queen Mother of the West (Chinese: Xiwangmu, Japanese: Seiōbō) and consumes them.”

Monkey Monday, Easter edition 🐣🐒
For many primates, every day is a scavenger hunt. In sanctuary environments, enrichment like browse, puzzle feeders, and hidden treats helps mimic natural foraging behaviors. 💚

Oracle doesn't need pants because she has a massive space-heater below the waist. Hands are still chilly though.

It's #MonkeyMonday so here's Oracle showing off her Winter fit and going for a little strollll~

You asked about #PunchTheMonkey and Japanese macaque enclosures, so let’s break down how snow monkeys live in the wild—and how zoos and sanctuaries can mirror those rocky, mountainous habitats.

It occured to me that i never made a Gorilla Character, so i thought, what if he not only is a Regular type and a Army guy, but Purple? 🦍🟣
If this goes well, i *could* make him into a Character.

Also, it's #monkeymonday so it fits!

Some lemurs have a built-in grooming tool called a toothcomb—a row of teeth they use to comb their fur and remove parasites. Even cooler? Plant compounds from leaves they chew can create a natural antimicrobial coating on the toothcomb.

No toothbrush needed. Evolution nailed it. 🌿🦷

It's #MonkeyMonday again in the Shoes

I couldn't make it in time for #monkeymonday but hey it's done! Talked to a friend the other day about the monkeys that climb through power lines. Had the fun idea of a brave one ready to do some trespassing. She's even got rubber gloves so she don't get shocked climbing stuff.

Groundhog Day predicts seasons with shadows. Rhesus macaques use real environmental cues—daylight, temperature, and food availability—to time behavior and survival.

Who would you trust? 🐵
