EINSTEIN EQUALS MONKEY SQUARED
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Primates
Family:Cercopithecidae
Genus: Macaca
Species: Macaca arctoides
A Malaysian monkey (Stump-tailed Macaque - Macaca arctoides) has been found to have a striking resemblance to Albert Einstein, the man who gave us the theory of relativity.From his matching receding hairline to his sporadic moustache, the baby monkey is a double for the German-born scientist.And thanks to his wrinkled face, the Stump-tailed Macaque looks much older than his tender years and even more like the German-born scientist.
The Stump-tailed Macaque, also called the bear macaque, is a species of macaque found in South Asia. In India, it is found in south of the Brahmaputra River, in the northeastern part of the country. Its range in India extends from Assam and Meghalaya to eastern Aruanchal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura.It is primarily frugivorous, but eats many types of vegetation, such as seeds, leaves and roots, but also hunts freshwater crabs, frogs, bird eggs and insects.
Strangely enough, Stump-tailed Macaque had been popular through Britches which was born into a breeding colony at the University of California. He was removed from his mother at birth, had his eyelids sewn shut, and had an electronic sonar device attached to his head, as part of a three-year sensory-deprivation study.The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) raided the lab and removed Britches from the laboratory on April 20, 1985, when he was five weeks old. His eyes were later opened.
