Does Curious George Have a Tail?

[RamblingMad]

What do you think? He's a monkey, right?

Subscribing. I have to know the answer to this!

 

[gwynne]

Nope. No tail.
But the man had a yellow hat.

The speculation is he's a chimpanzee. They don't have tails.

Or just a lazy illustrator.

He has the heart of a curious 5yo. Not sure about his other body parts.

DS17 grew up playing with DH's original Curious George. We still have it No tail there.

There you have it! Proof positive from the Internet!

Curious George is a show monkey. Hence why his tail was cut off

Of course he does and Nelson Mandela died in jail in the 1980s.

I'm going to go have some Jiffy Peanut butter and watch some Looney Toons while you all argue about it.

He’s not a monkey, he’s an ape. No tail.

The Parallel Universe theory is interesting, because I too remember things that just didn't happen, like many others apparently.

Do you remember Snow White saying, "Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" - Nope, didn't happen.

He shook the tail by taking the freeway.

Does anyone think that Snow White said that? Why?

Oh wait, do you mean the Evil Queen? Because that's not quite the quote (which now makes your post make sense).

You're right, it was the Evil Queen. My bad.

If I'd thought longer (i.e. before I started typing), I'd have figured it out (hence the addition). But, I was originally thinking that there was a group of people who were convinced that Snow White had said the line.

I always thought curious George didn't have a tail to more closely simulate him being child. Monkey, ape, whatever, Curious George is fictional -- I don't think too hard on fictional stuff = reality.

To me it's like watching a horror movie and questioning why a character goes out for a walk in the woods with his/her boyfriend/girlfriend when there's a known killer in the woods. Why did they do that? Because the writer of the script wrote it that way

Curious George is a Barbary Macaque, sometimes referred to as a Barbary Ape. They are not apes, they are "monkeys", but they do not have tails (not all monkey species do). Okay, technically, they do have tails, but they are quite small. They were common "pet" monkeys back in the day. They are the only primate species (other than humans) which live naturally in Europe (a large collection of them inhabit the Rock of Gibraltar).
