photo of the day – mark rackley

How awesome would it be to be a monkey? Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the fact that I was born into the human race and all, but for whatever reason monkeys are given pretty wide latitude when it comes to public displays of most every disagreeable activity and/or biological function known to mankind. Okay, yeah, there are exceptions to the rule, like eating the face off that dude and mutilating his genitals at a fellow chimp’s birthday party, that wasn’t cool, but in general it’s anything goes: nose-picking, butt-scratching, shaft-stroking, hair-pulling, poo-flinging, wallet-snatching, etc. And just look at what’s happening to poor Mark Rackley here. While his buddies laugh and take photos, he’s forced to wait it out as a male white-faced capuchin shamelessly pleasures itself in his mop of hair. In the undying spirit of the Wildboyz‘ lust for knowledge and understanding of the world around them, what have we learned today? That the ’70s bush is not an issue for the white-faced capuchin.
