They are like little monkey shamans using the earth mother to heal and guide them!

[TheSuperchris9]

When the man comes:

"GRAB YOUR CHARCOAL AND RUN BITCHES"

[carameloxx]

[AndromedaChao2]

0.47: I didn't know that female baboons had period pains

[theatregeek69321]

[periesicsd]

they sill use charcoal in hospitals today! they use it like when somebody has took to much alcohol, medicine, illigal drugs, etc. For overdoses and so on!!

[TheRealBKZ]

wow I am from africa and we eat these too for stomach pain and other digesting related problems

[Zappyguy111]

Activated carbon! The same stuff we use to filter water!

[TheWhiteOp]

[animationeer]

that charcoal "medicine" must taste terrible, but I guess all good medicines do....

[asd4308]

the **dog barking** in the backround is annoying :((

[wamawamadingdang]

lol 0:34. Wow they're pretty smart. Too bad though they could develop a resistance to the poison and be able to eat any plant without stomach pain if they didn't use medicine. Intriguing parallel

[Vitaclear1]

People used to use the skin of this type of monkey for fur coat. In 1975 this practice become illegal in great britain.

[gringodeltoro1]

[IceTeaEdwin]

1:52 GTFO

[kingshooter99]

wow i did know monkeys use bycicles.

[emanresuelbaman]

can this be called instinct?

[advisorC101]

No... this is a form of intelligence.

[emanresuelbaman]

Then what would you say about human intelligence? It seems that we don't have those things that monkeys and other animals have.

[advisorC101]

Point taken.. Humans are too intelligent for their own good sometimes.

[PenguinHairBalls]

@emanresuelbaman

yep thats generally why animals do anything. humans have pretty much lost all instinct.

[TemplarX2]

Nah, that's not instinct. This is clearly learn behaviour from trial and error and pass down and it varies from one group to another.

[mangozumo]

[Carlsarv]

[sldklr]

lol... pretty clever... how'd they know that could cure them?? is it in their instinct???

[Skurgefaust]

probably trial and error, years of experimenting

[omega45red]

blame it all to god, god knows everything. as religious people say.

[1c0manche]

pretty soon those smart little buggers will b setting fire 2 trees.........lol

[straightJO]

yup..and make their own charcoal..

[VInimin1992]

yeah.. lol

[Taveren22]

They do communicate guys. That chittering and high squeaks. Its language. Any pet owner can tell you their animal tries to audibly communicate with them. Eventually someone will figure out how to match their actions with their sounds.

[semnopithecus2]

PUNKERMONKEYS

[divedivedive]

how did the colobus monkey discover human made charcoal helps their stomachache??? Perhaps there had been trees burnt or strike by lightning and they knew these burnt wood help?

[lalalahaha1234]

probably trial and error, a monkey may have found that he can eat more by eating charcoal, and then by habit he just goes back, then others will see this and try the same

[SirBanon]

Well agreed, I do the same with food I eat. You'll notice the effects within 2-4 hours of eating in regards to your activities.
