Dr. Jane Goodall, naturalist, renowned primatologist, and United Nations Messenger of Peace, will make a special appearance at this year’s Ape Awareness Day at the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens. Dr. Goodall, who is at the Zoo for the Jane Goodall Institute’s ChimpanZoo […]

Thousands of gorillas took the streets of London to support the the Gorilla Organization.  Our monkeys, of course, watched and cheered during the entire race and barely tossed any poo at the T.V.
Check out their sweet gorilla video.

Chalk it up to anxiety or perhaps a complete nervous breakdown but last night I had a strange and vivid dream.  With the house in escrow and plans to move the monkey operations north, things have been a tad stressful.  We still don’t know where one of the chartered busses is and only a few […]

We feel this video captures life pretty accurately at our headquarters.  Especially the nude part.

We’re pleased to announce that SIMI Project friend and official monkey sculptor Dave Silva is involved in a show tomorrow (Saturday night) called “TIKIS and TERRORS” at the infamous Bahooka Bar.
The piece above (the one he’s showing) is called “FrankenChimp.” According to Dave it is a “customized version of the Infamous Ceramic Surfing Monkeys […]

One of the greatest challenges we have at the SIMI Project is automating the analysis of our monkeys’ output. Thanks to the Retro-Encabulator this is no longer an issue! Thank you, Rockwell Automation!
