There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Not sure whether Rhesus Macaques qualify as small monkeys, but there was one study which showed that they have greater proportional strength and endurance in comparison to Chimps.
"The great suspension time superiority of the rhesus monkey over the chimpanzee is obviously due to the fact that there is not only a marked difference in relative strength (61 per cent), but also endurance increases disproportionately with relatively slight reductions in sub-maximal loading. The chimpanzee and human data reveal that the ape understandably is clearly stronger both relatively and absolutely."
