Cloned Monkey Exhibits Traits Of A Millennial

 January 26, 2018

In a major scientific breakthrough, scientists in Shanghai have successfully cloned a primate using the same technique to clone Dolly the sheep in 1996. They named the monkey "Nuk-nuk" after the deliberation of a subcommittee of scientists tasked of postnatal matters. "I thought the name is cute," one scientist said through a translator. Nuk-nuk seemed to be a regular infant monkey, but after he had enough to muster any form of thought, he has shown tremendous interest with phones and other gadgets. "You can't get him off his phone, not when he's hashtagging all over the place. There's the apps and games too, of course, those he can't miss," Shanghai's Chief Scientist said. "Although these don't usually commence after he's had enough sleep and ready to get out of bed at 1:30 in the afternoon," he continued. "He wouldn't go out of his crib at all to play with other monkeys. He also has this strong sense of entitlement to everything; and it's like he can't believe anything you said unless he can look it up online." According to reports, the cloned monkey has now started to dabble on vlogging on top of throwing in his opinions on every social media which usually turns into arguments with strangers. When asked what he wants to be when he grows up, Nuk-nuk decisively expressed that he wants to run his own successful Youtube channel.
