Elephants have Fingernails and Watermelons in Brazil

Of all the improbabilities that the Monkey wonders about throughout the week, perhaps the oddest are from local laws in America and beyond. This week, the Monkey finds  out why in the world you can't eat watermelons in Brazil. It's absolutely true and you won't believe the reason why. 

Also, we paint them, shine them, cut them, and grow them. Fingernails are more than fancy hand decorations. The Monkey was positive there were reasons why, and now you'll know too. As a bonus, you can find out what other creatures besides us and monkeys have them!
