Primate of the Day

Banksy’s Devolved Parliament, estimated value £1.5m to £2m…

…sold for £9,879,500! :money_mouth_face: That would be around $12.2m US or $337.3m NT.

Why do I feel like in a decade they will spend tens of millions to conserve their population?

In Lopburi? Nah, monkeys are clever. Their population will decrease, but it would take a lot more than a string of 2020’s to wipe them out.
