Monkeys favour music over screen time, say researchers

In the study at a zoo in Helsinki, white-faced sakis could trigger audio or visual stimuli on demand

Monkeys given their own primate-focused" versions of Spotify and Netflix were more likely to choose audio stimuli over screen time, a study has found.

Researchers at the University of Glasgow and Aalto University in Finland set out to explore how a group of three white-faced saki monkeys at Korkeasaari zoo in Helsinki would respond to being able to trigger audio or visual stimuli on demand.
