This primate enjoys heating its nuts with a lighter.
in WTF
This monkey amusingly uses a lighter to keep its nuts warm.

D
Some animals use fire or ambers to burn parasites in their fur or feathers. Might be what is happening here.
L
That’s what I thought too. It looks like he’s going after a particular spot on his inner thigh with the lighter and his hands and just happened to let it get too close to his nuts that one time.
Y
he just like me fr
S
Fewer parasites though
C
*Allegedly*
P
The :O face when it burned his nuts made me laugh tho lmao
K

The video of the goat trying to run into the furnace is still hilarious.
D
Which video?

woah-oh
C
Fried lice?

My mom once saw birds holding moth balls in their beaks and rubbing them over their feathers. She’d put out to deter skunks from living under her shed.
S
This behavior is called “Anting”. So called because they usually use ants that way. There’s no definitive answer but it’s believed the formic acid in the ants keeps mites and such from taking up residence in the bird’s feathers. It’s surprisingly common I think like 300+ species have been documented to do it.
F
Trying to get rid of lice would be my guess.
Z
I have used bic lighters to kill fleas on my jeans before. Fire really is the most effective and quick way to kill the buggers.
P
We used to have an old barn, a chicken house really, on our property we never went in. Well we had some cats but they went missing and like a month later I went in there for some reason and my legs started fucking burning. I rush outside and they are covered in large patches of black. Fleas. Had to jump in the pool, they were like an oil slick on top of the water. I didn’t know they could be that fucking bad. We bug bombed the building and found all the dead cats, they had no fur so we could only assume it was the fleas. For a second, once I stepped out of the barn and could see my legs, I was convinced some Eldritch monstrosity was still clinging to me because it was just these writing patches of black that caused searing pain. Fleas are fucked up, but water works well.
V
Wait the fleas swarmed the cats to death? Holy fucking shit
K
Massive skin infection from the infestation is likely what actually killed them. Rough…
A
Ambers?
Z
Amber lamps
S
wee woo^4
R
think they mean embers
R
Amber is the color of your energy, whooaaa
H
Shades of gold displayed naturally
W
No!
P
i think it’s just playing with the lighter out of curiosity. discovered that it does this magic thing if scraped on the ground a certain way so it keeps making it do the magic thing trying to figure it out
M
I can assure you it knows that it’s burning it’s body and is doing it purposefully for whatever reason.
F
Embers
F
Guess he can’t afford a wax
S
That’s purely a myth to explain some weird behavior by goats in a couple viral videos. There’s no scientific backing to it at all.
W
The only animal that uses fire to burn parasites is you.
O
chimp nuts roasting on an open fire
R
Last monkey vid one scalded his nuts with coffee, and now there’s this guy..
A

Bros discovering fire! Stop him!
C
That lighter is probably his most valuable item, and will protect it at all costs.
I
But does not protect his nuts
C
Don’t kink shame
