They're just training their monkey army for when the apes take over the Earth.

The same way that birds do it.

On TV last night one theory was that they were all heading for a telephone pole situated with an area of electric fencing, then shinning down to enjoy the crops within.

"How do they avoid electrocution?!!!" quite simple one the lines are insulated with PVC, the other is down to which lines are negative/earth and the other line is positive and it makes no odds if both lines are insulated any way, but if the line was of a green colour it would indicate that its a bare copper wire,

Oh My,,,,,,,, This is the most interesting video lately. Kinda evolution? It looks like they don't want to walk on much snow.

Monkey is smart. I watched the vedeo and thought they were adorable.
I like the way they walked on electric wire.

The weight of fifty or one hundred monkeys must surely test their utility lines, though.

They are just monkeying around.

Amusing, but hardly news.
Ganbare Japan!
Unbelievable! Nihon zaru are very wise, and cunning! I have also watched them raid souvenir shops in a gang, stealing cookies and sweets, and mugging tourists of their bags. These ones should be captured and put in the circus!
