“#First female monkey ‘boss’ takes over at Japanese zoo<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Humans aren\u2019t the only primates touting feminism. <\/p>\n

A 9-year-old female macaque at a nature reserve in Japan has taken over her troop of 677 monkeys, Mainichi Japan reported<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

Yakei, at the Takasakiyama Zoological Garden in Oita city, began her meteoric rise to top banana in the spring after roughing up her own mom, Bikei, in a bid for alpha female \u2014 the best status most female simians could hope for. <\/p>\n

Feeling bold this past June, the formidable 22-pound Yakei then challenged Nanchu, who was the 31-year-old alpha male \u2014 and thus leader of the troop \u2014 for the past five years. <\/p>\n

Yakei\u2019s takeover would be Takasakiyama\u2019s first female monkey boss in their 70-year-history \u2014 and an exceedingly \u201crare\u201d occurrence elsewhere.<\/p>\n

In a VICE World News report<\/a> on Thursday, zoo caretaker Tadamori Fujita said, \u201cThe only other example I\u2019ve heard is a female monkey in Tokyo\u2019s Ueno Zoo. Other than that, you just never hear this happ<\/a>ening. It\u2019s very rare.\u201d<\/p>\n

Handlers conducted a \u201cpeanut test\u201d on June 30 to confirm the troop\u2019s change of hands, at which time Nanchu backed down to allow Yakei first dibs \u2014 a privilege of the ring leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince then, Yakei has been climbing trees and shaking them, which is an expression of power and a very rare behavior in females,\u201d said Satoshi Kimoto, a tour guide at Takasakiyama, in The Guardian<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe has been walking around with her tail up, which is also very unusual for a female,\u201d Kimoto added.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
