Sneezing Monkey Discovered!

Animals have to sneeze, so what’s so hilarious about this guy? Well, this new species, discovered in Northern Burma, Myanmar, is well out of the ordinary. Because of its funny looking, upturned nose the Rhinopithecus strykeri sneezes whenever it rains. To stop the rain from getting into its nose the monkey sits with its head between its legs, like a person would to stop dizziness.

Are you ready to have your mind blown further? The picture of the monkey that you see above isn’t a legitimate photo. It was actually made on Photoshop using a picture of a Yunnan snub-nosed monkey and a sneezing monkey’s carcass. Yep, carcass. Unfortunately people living in Burma hunt these monkeys for food and they’re quite difficult to find. There are believed to only be, at maximum, 330 of these guys on the planet, which really isn’t much.

Hopefully, now that more people know about sneezing monkeys, there will be an effort to preserve this species. In the meantime, let’s imagine what it would be like to sneeze every time it rained.
