You'll be amazed of how fast this little chimpanzee manages to learn how to drive a Segway. It's also funny seeing it crash it a few times in the bushes, while it bails out
Lol. This monkey behavior is new to me. A cheeky monkey goes out of its way to drive off 2 baby tigers out of its territory. Pulling their tales, punching them, and teasing them until they are exhausted
Stand-up comedian and ventriloquist Nina Conti, and her Monkey puppet in a hilarious skit, performed in front of a big large audience. This is one very funny video. Gotta watch it ;) Enjoy!
This is a very funny skit from Monkey Dust on BBC. It shows in an amusing way what really goes on behind the scenes of a typical ISP. Enjoy ;)
This little funny monkey gets a big scare after looking at it's own reflection in the mirror. Truly a funny monkey video.
Big in Japan
Nobody gives you anything for free these days. Even monkeys can't expect to receive bananas without hard work. Here's a funny video that comes from Japan, with a monkey working at the local bar! Enjoy!

I'm all against animal cruelty and such, but sometimes, these experiments can bring forward something that would benefit millions of people. I think that one such case is this. This monkey has a microchip implanted in its brain, and linked up to a robotic arm. The amazing thing is that the monkey can control the arm like an extension of its body, with incredible precision, and without any visible effort!
Amazing
Given enough time, it is said that a monkey could write Shakespear's Hamlet. In the same idea, we can say that this show was bound to happen sooner or later. Let's see him do that again...in this lifetime!
Hilarious pics
Would you like to live with this tattoo your whole life?

The ventral striatum, a part of the brain already known to be associated with rewards and unexpected stimuli, is the center of our desire for adventure. The research in Neuron.
A group of researchers from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at the University College of London has identified the area of the brain directly linked to our desire for adventure. Or, more precisely, our propensity to live new experiences and to experience what we do not know.
For the study, published in Neuron, researchers have developed a test: the participants were presented a series of images associated with different sums of money put into a premium, and were asked to guess which of the sums was higher. Although the volunteers easily could identify the image associated with richer rewards, when it was introduced a new figure, all of them tended to choose the latter rather than those already known with secure profits. Through magnetic resonance imaging, neuroscientists have noticed that the area of the ventral Striatum (an area of the brain already known to be associated to receive a reward and unexpected stimuli) was particularly active when participants opted for the novelty.
In these monkeys 80 per cent of the neuron cell cortex is multisensory phonetic and also responds to visual stimuli. Thus, all the information is integrated
It is known for some time that monkeys are able to integrate information in various ways to recognize monkeys in the group and their intentions, just like us and like many other other animals. What we did not know until today was how our "cousins" could associate verses and faces, optimising thus the process of individual recognition. The experiment helps to clarify that which was published in Journal of Neuroscience and was conducted by Aif Ghazanfar and collaborators at Princeton (USA) on a kind of macaco. The researchers found that, in these monkeys, many neurons are in fact multi-sensorial and respond differently depending on whether the hearing and visual stimuli are at the same time or not.
For monkeys, which live in social groups and must manage complex relationships - conflicting and friendly - it is crucial to combine auditory stimuli (leading information-type sound, as a sound threat) and images (which provide summary information, such as the color of skin or facial features).
The group Ghazanfar could shed light on the mechanism of integration of different stimuli by measuring the activity of visual and auditory cortex areas of the brain, respectively, for image and sound. Measurements were made under different conditions: in one case the animals could both see fellow companions in the group, listen to their sounds, while in other cases the animals could alternatively listen to the auditory component only or see the companions (only visual component).
