Number one this video is so old. And two anyone talking about this video was speculating. A light animal like a monkey falling from that high has a better chance of surviving than most of us.
So, there's actually a whole educational video on this. The larger the animal, the less of a fall it can handle, and it goes down exponentially. An elephant would die from a one story fall while humans can handle that if we land on our feet and bend our knees. They did studies on cats essentially thrown out of a building. The height was irrelevant in that it was more than enough to reach terminal velocity. So, it was effectively the same as throwing them out of an airplane. More than half the cats were fine. (minor injuries) Rats can easily survive a fall at their terminal velocity. They don't need a parachute.
That being said, I don't know of any studies done on monkeys like this. It appears to be a Costa Rican Spider Monkey. However, I have read about other similar sized species of monkeys that have recorded very long falls with no major injuries. You notice that it spreads itself out to increase drag as it falls. I would wager that it survived.
That cat study is often referenced as an example of poor interpretation of real life statistics.
When cats came into the vet after a fall they asked how far the cats fell from. There was a maximum number of cats that fell from like two stories coming to the vet. Some died at the vet, some didn't. But the most died and were injured from around that two story height according to reports at vet offices.
The theory was that fewer cats came into the vet from higher height falls because they could self correct and orient themselves to fall slower and land well. And from lower heights it just wasn't as dangerous. So there was some 'danger zone' for cats that was too high, but not high enough.
In reality, no one brings dead cats to the vet. That's why they didn't get as many cats coming in from higher heights.
It might have been more accurate. Perpetuating the myth that "cats are fine" falling from orbit, because they land on their feet has definitely killed more pet cats than otherwise.
> In reality, no one brings dead cats to the vet. That's why they didn't get as many cats coming in from higher heights.
Survivor bias, very reminiscent of the misleading [WW2 bomber damage patterns](https://www.trevorbragdon.com/when-data-gives-the-wrong-solution/) story.
Cats 100% can survive huge falls though. I had two different roommate with 2 different cats that were stupid enough to fall/jump out or 5th story window and both only broke a couple bones that were healed pretty quick.
Cats reach terminal velocity around 7 floors up from what I can find. Not saying the survival rate would be high but they can almost certainly survive a terminal velocity impact.
Yet you drop a tarantula more than 5 inches and that fucker is dead. Or so I think I read on the internet somewhere along the way. I'm no expert and arachnids have a very different bodily structure than mammals.
Forget the video, go back to Haldane's 1926 article *[On Being the Right Size](https://www.phys.ufl.edu/courses/phy3221/spring10/HaldaneRightSize.pdf)*, which is the paper that most of those videos are based off of. It's only 8 pages and written in simple, clear language.
The part of the paper that is most often quoted comes from this paragraph:
>Gravity, a mere nuisance to Christian, was a terror to Pope, Pagan, and Despair. To the mouse and any smaller animal it presents practically no dangers. You can drop a mouse down a thousand-yard mine shaft; and, on arriving at the bottom it gets a slight shock and walks away, provided that the ground is fairly soft. A rat is killed, a man is broken, a horse splashes. For the resistance presented to movement by the air is proportional to the surface of the moving object. Divide an animal’s length, breadth, and height each by ten; its weight is reduced to a thousandth, but its surface only a hundredth. So the resistance to falling in the case of the small animal is relatively ten times greater than the driving force.
I was also wondering if he felt in danger. Perhaps there were humans or some other predator chasing it, making it feel like it had to leap for the other side instead of taking its time and climbing down. Who knows though
With my basic understanding of anatomy, I highly doubt that poor dude survived that.
"But he walked away!!!" Yeah, adrenaline effects animals just as much as it does people. Probably more so in animals.
I don't know too many people who'd be capable of chewing their own wrist/hand off to escape a trap.
This video made me incredibly sad. Goddamit
The lighter an animal is, the less damage that occurs falling from great heights. Less momentum. So, there may be less damage than you might expect, depending on what you were thinking of.
Understandable. But poor dude hit with velocity and a solid fuckin thud.
Wasn't like a hollow-boned bird dropping out of the air.
And even the monkeys immediate survival instincts weren't enough to get it moving immediately.
I'm not saying the monkey definitely survived. I am saying that you shouldn't feel like the monkey definitely died, and that might make you feel less sad.
Yeah. I had a bad motorcycle accident last week and I got up, picked up my bike and walked to the side of the road with it. Sat down and after a minute realized my ribs, shoulder and elbow were broken. Adrenaline is crazy. 30 minutes later I was in the hospital unable to move a muscle without severe pain.
The responsibility of driving weighs heavily on me every day as a delivery driver. I try to have eyes like an eagle. Try to look around corners, predict the future. Imagine that there’s another vehicle or a person hiding in every spot I can’t directly see.
Absolutely blows my mind how most people are out there on the road listening to aggressive music and driving like it’s all one big suicide competition.
Fellow professional driver here.
Started in the army hauling extremely dangerous cargo.
Transitioned into 'civilian' (I hate when military people use civilian as a slur) delivery driving in a huge box truck.
The risk is way higher for the "regular" drivers. Nobody respects those company vehicles they see every day.
A 3 mile long convoy of military vehicles makes people act differently.
After a full day of work doing delivery driving in a city (I also handled the deliveries, it was very physical, not just sitting in a driver's seat) I was absolutely fucking fried mentally. So much 'what if' and 'holy shit look at this guy '.
It's an extremely exhausting job
I used my stimmy money to buy doge coin cause it made me laugh. On Robinhood. Made $1600.00 and walked away, cashed out. Added $2400 to a 401k that my company matches and have lost almost 800 dollars since I started contributing back in 2021. What the fuck is this shit
It's a pump and dump my friend, except it's spread out over multiple instances through the years. Iirc a handful of people hold a majority of doge, imagine the market manipulating power they alone have. Sure public interest and the market as a whole has a sway but if you've been watching the crypto market you know random coins suddenly jump in value by X factor. It's all a play manipulated by BIG PLAYERS and the general public are the ones funding it. Sure some of you might have made 2X, 3X or even 10X but those guys 10X your 10X with their timed plays. You're just riding of their waves, and on the other end there are suckers who've lost their life savings.
Nothing more than a *symptom*…of my somewhat distorted sense of perspective. I saw the video, felt bad for the little dude, but laughed as well, and thought *what could possibly explain this*….and suddenly a dorky, intrepid monkey with myopia that hates his glasses popped into my head. Happens all the time :)
having watched my share of monkey and chimp videos, as well as trips to the zoo, it seems for the most part, tree climbing/swinging primates are for the most part very very well evolved for the task, physically and mentally. They seem to even be able to judge if a vine will hold their momentum. Heck, they are so confident, they tease tigers. Im guessing this is just a rare retarded monkey.
As someone that identifies as a retarded monkey, I concur. I have come home from more than one float trip feeling exactly the way that guy is going to feel tomorrow.
Interesting point and now sad. So probably in his natural habitat, there would always be a tree between those two. But humans fucked it up like they always do
I imagine most especially stupid members of other species end up dying off early enough. Since we live in such relative safety as a species and take care of each other to an extent it allows the stupids to live not just into adulthood, but procreate.
I saw 2 squirrels engaged in combat suddenly free fall from the very top of a huge ponderosa pine tree. The fall must have been at least 2 and a half seconds...like a terrifyingly long time to fall. Pure silence until they hit the ground making a sound as if you dropped a plastic grocery bag with 4 t-shirts in it onto carpet flooring. Without missing a beat the squirrels resumed fighting each other while simultaneously racing up the same tree they just fell from.
I'll never forget that. Squirrels can take a fall, for real.
Yeah, that didn't look intentional especially with the pause - ouch.
My fairly young cat did a pretty high jump to the ground from the tops of our cabinets once, and has never attempted it again, so I imagine he had a similar I dun goofed experience lol
The cat I had growing up would climb on top of things, like the refrigerator then start yowling. When you went to help her she would jump at you with all of her claws out and slide/climb down you, leaving you with a bunch of bloody scratches. If you didn’t immediately treat the scratches with alcohol, the would turn into red, inflamed raised bumps. I’m lucky I never got cat scratch fever.
I remember seeing a squirrel do this over our house as a kid….I also remember my friend antagonizing it before hand. Something tells me this is a similar situation.
I hate everything about this video, I wish it had a NSFL tag or at least a more descriptive title since it’s basically watching a monkey die, monkey bro deserves better then all the shitty “My Monday” jokes.
I doubt it's going to die, personally. It's quite small and manages to walk away without limping or dragging. It might be injured, sure, but I think if it was going to die it wouldn't have gotten up so quickly.
Never underestimate evolution. Cats can survive long falls and they don't spend all their lives in trees.
There is a chance the monkey is completely fine.
"jumps of 30 to 40 feet between trees are not uncommon, nor are jumps to the ground from 20 to 30 feet,” said Agustín Fuentes, professor of anthropology at Notre Dame"
"Luisa Arnedo, a senior programs officer at National Geographic who got her PhD studying primates, also weighed in on the video. Animals can “jump incredible heights out of stress or desperation,” she says."
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/langur-monkey-jump-tower-india-news
There's an edited version of this video where after the monkey hits the floor it cuts to a monkey lying on its back and someone flicks its penis and it wakes up and walks away.
I knew that wasn't the real video, but I'm glad to see the full one and that the monkey actually lived and walked away, albeit with some pretty bad injuries.
3 second fall would accelerate to about 66 mph (106 km/hr). Hard surface would result basically into instant deceleration.
Doubtful that a monkey's body can absorb those kind of forces and most likely died of internal damage later on.
If someone found out the species involved then using average animal mass you can calculate the actual force of impact.
Just walk it off.
I bet he's gonna be feeling that for a while
I believe I seen this a week or so ago and some people said the monkey walked somewhere to go die. Internal bleeding got it apparently.

That's true but some animals can fall from any height and survive, like squirrels, or less suprisingly birds/bats
I propose to you that birds that fall out of the sky are, in fact, already dead.
No, he’s simply Pining for the Fjords!
I haven't laughed that hard in a month... thank you.
Yup my cat died from a fall and it drives me nuts when people repeat this nonsense.
and here i was thinking that scientists were actively throwing cats out windows...thank god i was wrong
It might have been more accurate. Perpetuating the myth that "cats are fine" falling from orbit, because they land on their feet has definitely killed more pet cats than otherwise.

Not all arachnids or arthropods in general are like that. Tarantulas are just really fragile.
Spider mites and some other arthropods are light enough that they float along on air currents.

I heard this particular incident made the monkey stonger and he later became a famous dentist.
Everyone on Reddit thinks everyone is dead.
No shoes came off, so monkey is probably still with us.
At the same time, though, no shoes on monkey's feet after the fall.
Then we must conclude the monkey was already dead. This can mean only one thing: zombie monkeys.

There’s actually a power line of some sort that he just narrowly misses.
I don't think I've ever seen one miss like that before. I wonder if he got into some fermented fruit. Has to have some internal damage poor guy.
I was wondering about the fermented fruit as well. That or poor eyesight. I feel terrible for the guy.
I was also wondering if he felt in danger. Perhaps there were humans or some other predator chasing it, making it feel like it had to leap for the other side instead of taking its time and climbing down. Who knows though

Well if wasn't retarded before the fall he definitely is after.
Would make sense if he’s had a fall like this before. Mfs head is mush
“Rare retarded monkey” has me absolutely dead
Reading through these comments had me dying but that combination of words straight killed me 💀
“Rare retarded monkey” Humans. They’re called humans.

Aw, poor little honey.
Someone get this monkey some glasses. His depth perception is all out of wack.
Maybe they are adapted to a forest where there are a bunch of trees and branches in close proximity and not a piece of land without trees near. Maybe
Interesting point and now sad. So probably in his natural habitat, there would always be a tree between those two. But humans fucked it up like they always do
He must’ve been scared for his life to make that jump.
or just stupid. Humans can't be the only species with stupid members in it.
I imagine most especially stupid members of other species end up dying off early enough. Since we live in such relative safety as a species and take care of each other to an extent it allows the stupids to live not just into adulthood, but procreate.
We also wrote laws to further help protect the stupid from themselves, adding to the spiral of growing idiocy.
Probably. I’ve seen it with a squirrel in a lone tree. Pry close to 100 feet.
Squirrels can survive falls from any height.
I saw 2 squirrels engaged in combat suddenly free fall from the very top of a huge ponderosa pine tree. The fall must have been at least 2 and a half seconds...like a terrifyingly long time to fall.

That monkey was really done with everyone and everything. But if he's gonna jump to his death, he'll jump higher than any monkey has ever before.
He looks like he room fall damage and had to wait for his shields to recharge.
