The official observation is as unorganized as you can imagine for a day with such a title, with a purpose that spans from general appreciation of monkeys, evolution, to advocacy and protection.
That being said, I suppose that gives you the freedom to celebrate Monkey day how ever you see fit, here's some ideas:
- Monkey Day origins: Started in 2000 by comic book artist (Fetus-X), Casey Sorrow
- Peter Jackson's King Kong legitimized the day in some ways with it's release in 2005 on Monkey Day
- Monkey Day seems like the perfect day to write about your famous monkeys
◘ Gordo, the space traveling monkey
◘ Ramu, the imprisoned monkey in India who wildlife activist are trying to have freed
◘ Maggie the Monkey, the Canadian monkey known for predicting the Stanley Cup winners - Or there's the fictional monkeys
◘ Curious George, the little guy who was brought back from Africa by the Man with the Yellow Hat
◘ The Winged Monkeys, those scary creates from The Wizard of Oz
◘ Abu, Aladdin's buddy in the Disney film
◘ Mojo, Homer's helper monkey on The Simpsons - Monkey-related nonprofits:
