The Greatest Monkeys of All Time

Johnny Wright of our pal YesButNoButYes blog wrote a neat post counting down the 25 greatest monkeys (real and fictional) of all time.

This one to the left is Oliver the "Humanzee":

Oliver has been billed as "The Missing Link" due to his more-human-than-chimp face and his tendency to walk upright. Ollie has toured the world, bringing joy to countless millions. Genetic testing has allegedly shown that Ollie is not the missing link, but I'm not buying.

I think it's important.

I wrote an article, which has since shown up and referenced everywhere, regarding the specifics of Oliver last year.

His handler contacted me at the time to inform me that Oliver is currently housed by Primarily Primates. He is close to sixty years old and, while he did suffer a mild stroke a couple years back, he is pretty good shape for a retired bloke.
