The truth will set you free…baby monkey pet channels - Floating Limb Syndrome in non human primates

Floating Limb Syndrome and comorbid behaviors like Self Biting are neurodevelopmental disorders associated with captive nonhuman primates, almost exclusively in some form of abusive environment. I don't believe we know the precise mechanism that initiates these maladaptive behaviors, but there is a strong consensus that extreme stress seems to be a causal agent. The northern pig tail in the video is displaying extremely obvious signs of FLS and SIBs. In Floating Limbs, an arm or a hand will move with no real function, seemingly of its own accord. Often, the poor creature suffering from FLS will bite at the limb, or try to stop it from moving. This animal is also pulling at his hair, which is a common Self-Injurious Behavior (SIB), and, again, is a response to stress or extreme anxiety. FLS and SIBs are separate behavior categories, but often overlap There are much less obvious signs: rocking, self-clasping, pacing, etc. I'll post a link that defines specific abnormal behaviors here: https://nprcresearch.org/primate/behavioral-management/abnormal-behavior-ethogram.php Many viewers find the behavior funny (perceptive viewers are usually saddened, however, even if they do not know exactly what is happening with the animal). Social media algorithms do not recognize the behaviors as hallmarks of abuse.
