I refuse to believe Shari does this

I'll just quote the section about urine-washing from the article above:
One of the most widely recognized postural displays used by squirrel monkeys is also a method of olfactory or chemical communication. In a "urine-washing" display the monkey, male or female of any age, urinates on its hands and feet and then wipes its hands and feet on its shoulders, arms, and legs, spreading the urine over its body (Baldwin & Baldwin 1981; Boinski 1992). Some functions of "urine-washing" may include marking trails for other members of the group to follow, self-cleaning, displays of dominance, enhanced grasping of branches during locomotion, controlling body temperature through evaporative cooling, or communicating reproductive hormone levels (Boinski 1992)

I actually knew that she was based off of that irl monkey but didn't bother to read up why their limbs are perpetually stained yellow. lol...
 
But let's talk about female squirrel monkeys have pseudo-penises that they use for dominance displays because that is bananas.
Hyenas are like that too.
What an amazing world. Let's all reincarnate into squirrel monkeys and hyenas.
 
I recall seeing this on Reddit a few weeks ago, and from another's research, that theory was debunked. Apparently these monkeys naturally have that yellow colouring, and it is not due to urine. I was trying to find the thread, but I remember they linked this article about it.
Ahhh thank you i can finally sleep peacefully
