Happy Monday, animal enthusiasts! The best way to start your day is by grazing on some animal memes. The animalistic ha-ha-ha's are guaranteed to perk you right up before you clock in for your 9-5. Today, we're looking at some of the silliest creatures on this planet: Primates! Yep, monkeys, gorillas, and everything in between. Though they have hands, they're pawesome all the same. We can't keep them as pets, so the next best thing is watching them safely through funny TikTok videos and endearing memes.

Primates are so funny because they're so similar to hoomans. We evolved from them and have their thumbs! That's why so many animal lovers wish they could own a primate: they have hands and can probably play patty cake with them or something. Monkeys and the like are very intelligent, so it's almost like having a hooman baby in your household. However, wild animals must roam free. So, we can look at these memes instead to hold us over.

Do monkeys actually like bananas? Probably, but they'll eat just about anything. Many monkeys steal food from tourists at certain tourist attractions in their native countries and even steal phones from hoomans to barter for food. That's peak intelligence from an animal. This just goes to show you that hunger will make you do some silly stuff. They might not even be hungry, just gluttonous!
