From the Orlando Sentinel:
That’s not a monkey; that’s my kid.
Here’s a nice story about an Orlando lady and her monkey child Jessica Marie, a 5-pound capuchin monkey. Some great video there too.
Here’s an interesting statistic:
Although illegal as pets in 20 states, the majority of the estimated 15,000 privately owned primates live in homes, said an official with The Humane Society of the United States. The rest belong to small tourist attractions. In Florida, it’s tough to tell exactly how many people have monkeys because the state doesn’t keep records on licensed pets in a computerized database in Tallahassee.
Remember to watch the video.
