A Bolivian squirrel monkey pulls a pair of sunglasses smeared with bitter apple from the hand of a zoo keeper at ZSL London Zoo, in London, on April 7, 2011. Zoo keepers have discovered Bolivian squirrel monkeys stealing visitors' sunglasses since the sun came out last week. The group of 18, who live in a no barrier enclosure, have been given sunglasses with bitter apple smeared on them today in a bid to stop them from being so light-fingered this summer.


In a demonstration for the media of how Bolivian squirrel monkey steal visitors' sunglasses, a keeper holds out a pair covered in sweet feed that the monkeys like eating, during a photocall at London Zoo in London, Thursday, April 7, 2011. The event was held Thursday as keepers decided to train the monkeys to stop them grabbing people's sunglasses, by smearing bitter apple on the glasses to deter the primates from grabbing them as they don't like the taste of anything sour.

6. Why don't they just give them

some little sunglasses? Obviously the monkeys are concerned about their eyes and the sun's harmful radiation.

Or are monkeys climate change deniers as well?
