Thailand's Diving Monkeys: Meet the Crab-Eating Macaques That Swim and Dive (Documentary, 2020)

The crab-eating macaque is the most common monkey in the world. It is quite invasive in Thailand and throughout South-East Asia. This monkey is a cheeky pest: it gets everywhere to loot garbage without any shame. But, do you really know it? Did you know it could swim, dive and see underwater? Did you know it falls for shellfish and oysters? Did you see it using tools like great apes do? The macaque does not only joke and play. In packs, it can kill to assert his power. Dr Amanda Tan, a primatologist expert, sets off to discover these macaques that can use tools and are venerated by Buddhists. Thanks to them, we doubtlessly learn a bit more about our evolution. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 01:53 - Roaming Monkeys in Thailand ▷ 04:11 - Kerama Island ▷ 10:50 - Ko Khram ▷ 13:15 - Monkey Babies ▷ 15:18 - Fishing Grounds, Tools ▷ 23:13 - Swimming Monkeys ▷ 25:55 - Sleeping & Grooming ▷ 28:00 - Rivalry & Castaways ▷ 33:08 - Diving Monkeys ▷ 42:11 - Hindu Culture, Hanuman, Temple ▷ 50:51 - Credits #documentary #animals #wildlife #monkey #macaque #thailand #asia #animalplanet ------- Subscribe to wocomoWILDLIFE: https://goo.gl/L5puvQ Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomo ------- Original title: Monkey Revolution - Thailand's Diving Macaques A film by Dominique Hennequin © 2020, Licensed by Albatross ------- Videos about animals, aquatic life and nature: wocomoWILDLIFE offers high-quality entertainment.
