Here’s an interesting story from the NY Times regarding primates as pets. One thing I learned is that apparently at least one monkey loves his TV.
LIKE many longtime couples, Carlie and Bob, independent animal rescue workers in upstate New York who have been together 21 years, have a difference of opinion about one big issue in their relationship. In their case, it is about a 7-year-old Hamadryas baboon named Higgins, who spends a good part of most evenings watching HDTV in his heated monkey house, often holding hands with Bob. Carlie thinks that it is time to ship Higgins to a baboon preserve, and Bob wants to keep him at home.
Of course it’s important to remember that as adults they can be dangerous.
