SO just when you think you have seen it all - I mean we had Glow in the dark cats and dogs why not monkeys. It gets better though. What happens when a glow in the dark mom mates with a glow in the dark dad? You get glow in the dark babies.

Well the cats and dogs were the makings of South Korea and these little guys are from Japan. Serioulsy if I had glow in the dark monkeys come after me that might just push me over the edge. Besides being glow in the dark they are cute little buggers.

Glowing Monkeys Make More Glowing Monkeys the Old-Fashioned Way

The first genetically modified primates that can pass their modifications to their offpsring have been created by Japanese scientists.

The marmosets, pictured above, express a green fluorescent protein in their skin. The gene for producing the glow was delivered to the first marmoset embryos via a modified virus. But now that modification method could become unnecessary. One male marmoset, number 666, fathered a child (pictured at right) that also contained the transgenes.

Re: Glow in the dark Monkeys
They're so cute but I wish they'd leave them alone. Where are the glow-in-the-dark humans?

Chernobyl....hey you asked.

I know they are cute. I would say I want one but don't monkeys throw poop when mad? Yeah no way in heck would I have a poop throwing animal.

Re: Glow in the dark Monkeys

why? I am not really understanding the need to make glow in the dark animals.. now, if this could be implemented on pre-teens and add a homing device that can self activate after curfew... I'm all over it

Re: Glow in the dark Monkeys
When I picture myself owning one, I picture the little booger wrapped around my neck, shrieking. No thanks! I already gotta Quaker Parrot, thank you very much. Still cute to look at.

Re: Glow in the dark Monkeys
Are they illegal to own as pets in your state? My little guy is noisy, but I can't imagine having hundreds of them all having a "chat". Surprise

Re: Glow in the dark Monkeys

Nope their legal to have as pets. From time to time we see ppl trying to catch them. Its just a HUGE flock of wild ones. Noisy wouldn't describe how loud they can get and early in the morning. They are beautiful and atleast not messy like some birds are. They love the trees out in the back yards so its neat to look up and see 300 green birds looking back at you. Their nests fascinate me - they must be 4' tall. You should post some pics of your bird and I'll move these comments over to the thread Smile
