Animal Terror for Kids

What are you doing Macaque! Oh you better not catch that adorable little one. Whatever it is, it is much cuter than you. Don’t be jealous.

Look at his haughty expression

Every year, more than 100000 monkeys and apes are used for biomedical research around the world. A great percentage of those primates are species of macaques.

Nearly all (73-100%) pet and captive macaques are carriers of the herpes B virus.

But they have their revenge from time to time -

Frighteningly long list of primate attacks on owners.

This is my favorite one.

June 3, 1995/Hollidaysburg, Pa.: An escaped “pet” monkey grabbed a kitchen knife and cigarette lighter, holding police at bay for nearly two hours. The monkey ran through the house and bit two women.

ughhhh…this gross, terrifying lizard will probably be the next in the line for animal crazes for scene kids, right after the equally disturbing hairless rat. At least this lizard is mysterious and rare; Science still has not come up with a reason why these guys only have two front legs. Guess they just wanna be different, just like the kids who will desperately pay anything to have a pet that fits their unique personality.

Here is a tanuki or raccoon dog , his name is Pochi. He is family to some lovely person in Japan.
