How do monkey's adapt to the rainforest?

Well, monkeys have different habitats depending on the type. Usually (your right) they do live in the rainforest's. They adapt by making a habitat for themselves and they also climb trees regularly. It is not really... I would say accurate to keep a monkey, they need to learn and develop in their own world just like we do. The similarities are:

1.) if somebody kidnaps you, you won't live in your own environment anymore you would be trapped. That's kind of how the monkey feels when we keep them as pets. So, if you were thinking about "adopting" a monkey you might want to think twice about it after you read this, or other facts and article's.

What should you do if you have a ringing in your ears and pressure in your head and you've had a CT head scan and heart tests and you have now been taking pills to relax but nothing seems to help?

The question does not state whether the scans and tests were normal or not. Assuming all tests are normal ringing ears is often tinnitus. It is miserable and cannot be cured. Some people find that loud noises make it worse. If it keeps you awake at night try listening to the radio quietly, tuned off a station so all you can hear is the hiss. It keeps the ringing sound at bay sometimes. People learn to live with it but it never goes completely away. Avoid rock concerts and pneumatic drills. If you have any wax in your ears it can make the tinnitus sound louder but having them syringed can also make it worse.

Are there any rainforest vultures?

No. there are other types of animals that eat the dead and decomposed animals but there are no vultures in the rain forest.

Is there any way to help a sociopath?

I don't think so unless you remove all normal thought from yourself when dealing with them and how can you do that if you normal how can someone really think like they do and see things the way they do without being like them i wouldn't want to try you would become an empty shell like they are in the end

What affects the platypus population?

There are a few threats to the platypus's population.

The introduction of red foxes as a predator for rabbits may have had some impact on platypus numbers on the mainland. Feral cats are another platypus predator, but the platypus's principal enemies are humans. Humans used to hunt them for their fur, but they are now protected. The danger is now not from hunting, but from destruction of their environment. Also, the use of fishing nets in freshwater creeks and rivers resulted in large numbers being drowned, but this practice has been banned.

Natural predators of the platypus include snakes, water rats, goannas, spotted quolls, eels, hawks, owls and eagles. In the north of its range, dingoes are another predator. Lower platypus numbers in far northern Australia are possibly due to predation by crocodiles. On occasion, large eels have been thought to take platypuses, which may be only half the length of a freshwater eel.

Another factor which affects platypus populations is flooding. Young platypuses may be washed out of their burrows when floodwaters come, and few of these survive.

Tasmanian platypuses are subject to platypus fungal disease, or Mucormycosis. This fungal disease causes ugly skin lesions or ulcers to develop on various parts of the platypus's body, including their backs, tails and legs. These lesions become quite large, and are ultimately fatal. Death comes from secondary infection, and from the fact that the platypus's ability to maintain body temperature and forage efficiently for food is affected. It's not yet known how the disease spreads from platypus to platypus, but the mainland creatures are not affected.
