I"ve seen this special before - it is sooo interesting! I remember my family & I couldn't stop laughing when they peel off the rubber stuff. Those poor people

the versatility or animals to adapt is amazing really, somewhere i am thinking its in Africa but it could be elsewhere, they built a city over the habitat of one kind of monkey.... the monkeys have learnt how to break into houses... we can all imagine the havoc that could be...

Netty there was a study on primates breaking into houses for alcohol. I don't remember where exactly it was but the locals thought it was funny to provide alcohol for primates, and the monkeys became essentially addicts and were stealing drinks out of hands and homes.

the one i am talking about the were breaking into houses and stealing food not alcohol. but i find the locals providing them with alcohol as entertainment VERY disturbing
