Sure, monkeys have a reputation for knowing how to find food - whether it be grabbing a Fruit Platter for a birthday party, or snatching a Banana Strawberry smoothie near the Kid's Jungle... But it turns out researchers have been observing monkeys in Indonesia fishing for their dinner for the past 10 years. Imagine! Monkeys fishing?
They need to sudy this further to understand what prompts monkeys to go fishing, or how common it really might be as a survival behavior. The Funky Monkey has served up Shrimp Louie Salads at the best party place for kids in Santa Rosa, so that may be another indicator of this little known skill.
