"Super Monkey" Security Force Used At Commonwealth Games 66
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has increased the strength of its monkey security team for the Commonwelath Games. The large langur monkeys are used to scare away smaller, more troublesome primate species from sporting arenas and food stalls. "From tomorrow onwards we will increase the number of langurs from 28 to 38. The additional langurs will take care of the Games venues and other important areas," an NDMC official told the Press Trust of India news agency. Sounds like a good idea until the monkeys learn how to throw barrels.

Is anyone else disappointed when they read the article and realized that there aren't any "Super Monkeys", just langur monkeys (which are still cool, because they're still monkeys)? I was hoping for some sort of Monkey Super-Soldier project on the part of the New Delhi Municipal Council.

``Security?'' What? (Score:2)
Defending against monkeys using other monkeys is not security. It's animal control; i.e. safety.
Security means separating authorized humans from unauthorized humans.
Could the monkey distinguish a human being who is authorized to be somewhere from one who is not?
Could it verify someone's identity, validate an ID badge, look up a name in a list of names, check tickets, etc?
If not, that monkey is not a security officer in any reasonable sense of the word.

More importantly, could a monkey insure that all of a human being's gels are in a quart-sized plastic bag?

Dude, rtfa... the deputy mayor was assassinated by a monkey gang not long ago. If that doesn't call for security, nothing does!

False. What you describe is some specific tasks that can be party of some security measures.
Animal control is a type of security. Securing people from the dangerous animals, for one.
Separating people from a danger is also a form of security.
I suggest you find some sort of massively connected networks and use some sort of engine to search to for the definition of security.

Some reptiles hibernate during the winter (Diamondback Rattlesnakes) while only 1 primate (Female Fat-tailed Dwarf Lemur) hibernates. If we are talking about temperate zones, I would think a reptile has a better chance of surviving a winter. Although, I guess it would depend on the actual species of Gorilla and/or reptile.
