Rhesus macaques at a Buddhist temple in Kathmandu By: Mark N. Boulton From: Natural History Magazine 1985

My first experience with the Hamadryas baboon...I don't know if I have the words. Seemingly otherworldly but so familiar at the same time. Genuinely such an incredible animal to witness. I'll have more to share on them later.

The thing I learned most about these monkey sketches is that it's like drawing people with extra long arms and furry pants. Weird.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Wolf's mona monkeys don't have to worry about their eyes being bigger than their stomach. Like chipmunks, they have large cheek pouches which can store an entire stomach's worth of food-- handy for fleeing predators mid-meal, or storing snacks for later!

If you like what I do, consider leaving me a ko-fi!

"So watch me rise up Open the skies up And take the world by storm I'll flood the dry lands Low and highlands And take the world by storm Every inch of the land, every part of the sky Will be water when I transform it So watch me rise up Open the skies up And take the world by storm"

Against the World by Escaped Audios is so tonally batshit but I have literally NEVER seen a superhero series of any kind replicate the exact feeling of playing one of my favorite superhero themed tabletop roleplaying games so perfectly so for that (and many other reasons) I adore it.

Like… fr, barring the amount of the straight up murder… Against the World is basically just like listening to a game of Masks. (The only reason there ISN’T murder in Masks is because you’re playing teenage Heros/antiheroes). The tonal shifts make sense to me because every Masks game I have ever been in has been like this.

Red-shanked douc (Pygathrix nemaeus)

This fabulous-looking species is found in tropical, sometimes mountainous forests of Southeast Asia. They eat mostly leaves, and have a multi-chambered stomach which allows them to ferment their food, like a ruminant!

[ID: Three panels depicting the same sketch; the first is the original sketch itself, and the two panels below are close-ups of the characters.

A full body black and white rough sketch of Monkey D. Garp and Monkey D. Dragon from Shōnen Jump series One Piece by Eiichirō Oda. The piece is set against a blank light gray background. Dragon stands to the right in a more rigid, upright fixed pose. Garp stands to the left, hunched over with his hands in his shorts' pockets, seemingly walking forward. Dragon dresses in his standard attire of a long cloak covering most of his outfit save for what is presumed to be his scarf. Garp is wearing a plain short-sleeved button-up shirt and knee-length shorts; Garp also sports socks and sandals. Both are visibly frowning, with their eyes cast in shadow.

A close-up of Monkey D. Garp's face as depicted in the original sketch.
