I’ve wanted a pet monkey pretty much my entire life. The desire peaked in the mid-1990s when people claimed I looked like David Schwimmer’s character, Ross, from the TV show “Friends.” At the time, Ross had a pet capuchin monkey named Marcel. Marcel was pretty cool.
As I got older I realized how much hard work is involved in raising a primate. There are also the “monkeys shouldn’t be raised as pets” critics. I eventually abandoned my dream, but after watching the impossibly cute pygmy loris monkey nibble on some watermelon in the video below, I think my monkey-owning fantasy is making a comeback.
