These Monkeys Are Trained To Pluck Coconut From Tree - World's Strangest University

Training lasts for 3 to 6 months and there are 30-40 graduates a year. Hundreds find work afterwards in local plantations. 

And they're all monkeys! Their batty paternal trainer teaches them to scamper up coconut palms and deftly twist off the nuts. Their harvest can be as much as 500 nuts a day. 

They also perform for the tourists - a much more lucrative trade in Thailand. A captivating film about a mutually beneficial relationship between man and beast.
