Just for fun, Monkeys steal human hair to floss their teeth

[sue4e3]

There really is no shortage of charming things that monkeys do that remind us of us (and they likely think the same). But flossing their teeth? Sure enough, they floss their teeth.

Monkeys have been observed cleaning their teeth with coconut fibers or twigs, but the troop of macaques who live near a Buddhist shrine in Lopburi, Thailand, have found a much better alternative. Facing a dearth of wax-coated filament in plastic packages, they have let humans do their bidding. Considered divine servants, temple visitors let the monkeys climb and paw … and to purloin clutches of hair, which eventually serve their dental hygiene needs.
