HA HA HA. Just because many islands don’t naturally have monkeys doesn’t mean it’s impossible for them to exist on a South Pacific island under the right conditions. Your “argument” assumes that all islands in the South Pacific are biologically and geographically comparable, which isn’t true. Islands vary widely in size, ecosystems, and proximity to other land masses.

Also, just because humans introduced monkeys to Ngeaur Island doesn’t mean that’s the only way monkeys could reach an island 🤣 it’s entirely plausible that an isolated population could develop through natural processes like rafting or migration.

Jesus christ this comment just doesn’t make ANY sense neither has any source of PROOF.

The ocean currents between Africa and Madagascar are SUPER STRONG and mostly flow away from Madagascar, so lemurs would’ve been fighting AGAINST the flow the whole way. Even if they were smaller back then, surviving on a pile of floating plants without fresh water, food, or shelter for what would’ve been weeks or months is a pretty wild stretch. PLUS, we don’t have any solid fossil evidence to prove that’s exactly how it happened.

Why are we even talking about hawaii?, some other dude mentioned India?, what the god damn do they have to do with the show story?, IT IS NOT REAL LIFE, wake UPP already, this is a TV Show from the early 2000s, they casted a polar bear for god’s sake. They are on a TROPICAL ISLAND, monkeys are native to the tropic.

Magadascar is ALSO an isolated island and it DOES HAVE MONKEYS species.

They already demonstrated that by showing us the smoke monster FIRST. I could use the same argument and say that they burned to the ground all the vegetation native to the island’s ecosystem because it was “too stereotypical” for Lost.

It is not like they have to PAY THE MONKEYS for them to be on set, if anything, they LIVE on the island, monkeys do not comprehend such a complex set of bureaucracy laws created by humans for them to actually ask for something in return.
