Monkeys might be the coolest gangs in the hood.

Scientists have noticed that even though they break into fights whenever, if two monkeys had the same blood, they just wouldn’t bother anymore. They just recognize each other on the bat. Kinda like how we respect our homies on the streets.

It’s all cool and that, but how do they do it? How do they tell who’s a brother and who isn’t?

Researchers started an experiment to find out. It begins with two pictures of different monkeys — one that’s unseen but with the same blood, another, which is just a random stranger monkey. Both images are presented in front of a “lab monkey” to find out its reactions. Results have shown that the lab monkey would throw a death stare at the stranger monkey and get ready for combat. While, when seeing the other picture of its “brother”, it would chill the f*ck out.

#NowThatsIncrediville, being able to tell one another apart with just a look, is a monkey’s gift. They might be crazy and hostile all the time, but they sure are some loyal mammals. Monkeys might become the next spirit animal for friendship. (or a new mascot for gangs around the world)

They got all the girls for sure.

There’s actually a catch with this special bond that is going on. It only happens between two male monkeys. Yup, you gotta be a dude to make the magic happen. Because, man, if you’re a gal you don’t have to have the same blood to excite a guy. They just get excited wherever, whenever.
