Monkeys and Water | Nature


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT Is it a usual thing for monkeys, either in captivity or in their native condition, to take freely to the water? Some relations of mine have a small monkey that was brought to them


from Java, and which is a great pet. One day it was thought that he should be bathed, and he was put on the edge of the bath. In a little while he hung down from the edge by a foot and hand,


and drank the water, and then, plunging in, he swam backwards and forwards under the water, with his eyes open, with great enjoyment. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This
