Why monkey playing "urine"?



Generally a normal person knows that the urine but dirt. Scientists first discovered, many monkeys actually "play" to get his own urine, urine sprinkling their hands and feet. Monkeys own urine to Mai Tai, what sorts?

[Urine is the transfer of information? ]

Many animals use chemicals to pass urine release information. I had a dog who could easily understand this. Sometimes when your dog out for a walk when it spread here a little urine, there spread a little urine, it is not a light discharge urine, pee everywhere, it seems uncivilized. In fact, they are not uncivilized, but an instinctive performance. Since the owner with it gone, it is thought that the place is its sphere of influence. It is necessary to tell other dogs, this is my territory, so it is necessary to spread a urine. This is not to pee excretion needs, the need to divide the territory.

But the monkey pee hands and feet, what is intended to do? If the monkey as dogs pee order to capture the land, it should be thrown into the ground or a tree in urine, rather than choose their own. Besides, the monkey's territory is generally the responsibility of the monkeys in the Monkey King. Visible, monkey pee hands and feet is not to convey information area of the disc.

Therefore, scientists believe, monkey urine thrown into the hands and feet to improve climbing ability. Because hands and feet often accumulate some dirt, urine and they can be cleaned, thereby reducing resistance when climbing. As a monkey can be more at ease climbing trees.

Some opponents argue that, if the monkeys really want to improve the ability to wash the hands and feet to climb the dirt, then can choose cleaner dew or rain, without using their own excrement. Visible monkey pee hands and feet must have other uses, they speculated might be because of global warming, the temperature rises, so the monkey urine thrown into their own hands in order to cool down. This view popular for some time, but was soon overthrown.

[Urine is interesting? ]

Scientists NIH Animal Center spent ten months time to study the case of a group of capuchin monkey peeing in his hands and feet. They kept a capuchin monkeys live games daily humidity and temperature, as well as the number of times they wash their hands every day pee. From these data, scientists found the monkeys urinated hands and feet did not reduce their temperature. Visible monkey pee hands and feet with cool irrelevant.

Unexpectedly, monkey pee hands and feet are so elusive. Monkey pee hands and feet in the end Exceeding? Scientists have discovered that hippos often in their own sphere of influence, will be the same as the rotation of the propeller on his tail around to spray urine. With this move, hippos will be able to attract the attention of admirers. Hippo pee is used to attract the opposite sex, whether the monkey pee hands and feet and hippos, as it is also used to attract the opposite sex?

Scientists observed that when a monkey is to attract the opposite sex, the number of hands and feet of pee it will increase. It is the intention of doing so is to tell the other party that the other party to continue to keep an eye on it. Then, the scientists also found that in 87% of the Battle of attacks, the number of monkey pee hands and feet will be increased, if the intention is to tell each other: "I'm right here, I'm not afraid of you, kind of you to come. "Thus, the monkey pee hands and feet is not only to attract the attention of the opposite sex, but also companion. So they think, monkey pee hands and feet may be a way to communicate and companions, to communicate with their peers in this way.

Of course, this is not the final answer, pee monkey hands and feet intention continues to study. Presumably Soon after, scientists set from monkey pee hands and feet move in this small, unknown to dig out more information.
