Monkey Kaka has always been a playful and energetic little monkey, but as he grows older, something unusual is happening—his butt is changing! Many people who have followed Kaka’s journey since he was young have started noticing this strange transformation and wondering what’s going on.
At first glance, it may seem funny or even a bit shocking, but Dad quickly reassures everyone that this is a completely natural part of a monkey’s development. As Kaka matures, his body is going through changes, just like humans do. One of the most noticeable changes is the swelling of his buttocks, which can look quite different from when he was a baby.
This phenomenon happens in many monkey species, particularly in macaques like Kaka. The swelling is due to natural fat deposits and the development of ischial callosities—specialized pads on a monkey’s butt that help them sit comfortably for long periods. These calluses are an important adaptation that allows monkeys to rest on tree branches, rocks, and rough surfaces without discomfort.
Another reason for the change is that adult monkeys use their buttocks as a form of communication. In the wild, some monkeys display swelling in this area as a way to signal to others, whether for social bonding or to establish dominance. Though Kaka lives close to humans, his body still follows these natural instincts.
Despite the changes in his appearance, Kaka’s personality remains the same—playful, affectionate, and always full of energy. He still jumps excitedly when he sees Dad, enjoys playing with Diem and Quynh, and never misses a chance to steal a tasty snack. His growing body doesn’t slow him down one bit!
So while Kaka’s changing butt might seem strange at first, it’s actually a fascinating and completely normal part of his growth. As he continues to mature, one thing is for sure—no matter how much he changes, he will always be the beloved and adorable Monkey Kaka!
