Monkey Day
Monkey Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated internationally on December 14.〔Weeks, Linton (June 17, 2011). "(Time To Mark National Theme Day Appreciation Day )". ''NPR''〕〔Koo, Zena (December 14, 2010). "(Today's Pictures: Monkeys! )". ''Slate''〕 While the holiday is mainly about monkeys, it also celebrates other non-human primates such as apes, tarsiers, and lemurs.〔Millikin, Eric. (December 14, 2012). "(Eric Millikin: For Monkey Day, the 5 wildest monkey stories of 2012 )". ''Detroit Free Press''〕 Monkey Day was created to spread awareness for the animals, and to show love and care for them.
==Origins==
The holiday was started in 2000 when artist Casey Sorrow, then an art student at Michigan State University, jokingly scribbled Monkey Day on a friend's calendar,〔McKenzie, Charlie (December 8, 2005). "(Holiday monkey business )". ''Hour''〕〔Klein, Sarah (December 10, 2003). "(Monkeying around with the holidays )". ''Detroit Metro Times''〕 and then first celebrated the holiday with other MSU art students.〔 It gained notoriety when Sorrow and fellow MSU art student Eric Millikin began including Monkey Day in their artwork and ''Fetus-X'' comic strips, and began promoting it online along with other artists.〔Sorrow, Casey (December 14, 2006). "(2006 Comics... It begins... )". ''Monkey Day Comics''〕 Since then, Monkey Day has been celebrated internationally, across countries such as the U.S., Canada, Germany, Pakistan, Estonia and the United Kingdom.〔〔Laverne, Lauren (December 14, 2009).
