"From January 2022 to July 2023, researchers documented 11 different howler monkey babies being carried by five young male capuchins. The trend appears to have been set by Joker, a male capuchin so nicknamed because of a small scar on the side of his mouth. Other juvenile capuchins seem to have imitated him months later." wtf this is terrifying

There are cathedrals everywhere for those with eyes to see.
