FROM THE BOOK
Poop weapon
We all protect ourselves with what we have and the best we can, right? Now, how about being the target of monkey poop? Some species of monkeys, like the howler monkeys and the Southern Muriqui came up with such nasty idea (and it works quite often!). Upon feeling threatened these monkeys try to escape between tree branches, but when they can’t... it’s poop everywhere! They throw poop at their pursuers until they manage to chase them away. Getting hit by monkey poop stinks, right?
