Putting prizeworthy primates in their place
Anyone who regularly spends time on the internet – especially on social media sites – will be aware that animals and their hilarious exploits have become one of the cornerstones of internet virality. They’re so popular that there are whole websites dedicated to the uncovering of such videos and animated gifs.
While it’s generally accepted that cats remain at the top of this share-ability chain, it would be silly (although not much sillier than the videos themselves) to assume that only cats have the potential to sustain our attention and make us laugh. Over the past few years, goats have slowly been climbing the ladder to the top, and previously, a certain panda caught the world’s attention. Someone even had the foresight back in 2010 to combine both cats and goats in the one video!
But there is one group of animals that, while being just as funny and entertaining, don’t seem to garner as much attention – and that’s why we’re presenting you with 5 of the best primate videos on the internet!
5. Trunk Monkey
Originally created for Suburban Auto Group by advertising agency R/West of Portland, Oregon, these ads have not only been huge overseas, but closer to home in New Zealand as well.
4. Baby monkey Nala
Whether you’re a cat or a dog person is irrelevant here – if this video doesn’t make you slightly want a pet monkey, you probably aren’t a pet person in the first place.
3. The alpha male
This primate doesn’t mess around when showing the zoo’s visitors who’s the boss.
2. The gorilla that got away
Watching this massive gorilla leg it after his cheeky throw at zoo staff is priceless.
