i want a monkey to groom my hair

[Windamor]

When is he gonna get released again?

[ropiedote]

@Windamor He won't ever be released because he was found badly injured as a baby. He does not have the skills to survive in the wild.

[TheHuskerton]

That is a strange looking monkey...

[far2sexyTM]

That was so cute! That monkey felt so safe with that woman, you could tell.

[fcentaur]

The comments are endless... Shut up!

[coomason5]

I would have goose bumps like crazy!

[dwaynjat]

she must have lice....

[ropiedote]

Maybe not. You could write to the vspca and ask.

[ggchristina1]

This monkey is so lovely. But are the chains around the neck really necessary?

[elpostreesmarco]

He thinks he's finding something!

[ShaneNTUC]

So very inspiring video..Om shanti

[ropiedote]

The scars ... yes, well that's why Ramu is at the shelter. He was just a wee babe when he was torn apart by dogs. He almost didn't survive. They had to sew the little feller up. The scar is the zipper on his monkey suit.

[gunzablaze1]

@ropiedote Well, its good that he survived. I think monkey's are very interesting and that the snapping sound they make is to calm their kin down while they're grooming. Its neat that what they think their finding is actually human hair, and as they lick it they bite off split ends and dead hair fibers. Its really interesting.

That's some really bad scarring on Ramu's left shoulder : (

[IzzyBunneh]

SO CUTE, i kinda feel sorry for him, cos he probably won't find any bugs or anything to eat xD

[opiates]

Aw what a sweet little thing. He's so gentle and loving too.

[kthanid83]

is the big monkey from a different species?

[joeseth05]

yeah, I think it is from homo sapiens sapiensis.

[ropiedote]

I believe it's because he has come out of his enclosure for some playtime. That area (where the video is taken) is not fully enclosed, so they don't want him taking off.

[BeautifulxDestiny]

Especially not with scar tissue like that.

[pantaholic]

I'm curious as to why this monkey is chained? Surely if it is at a sanctuary, the emphasis should be on the animals living as natural a life as is possible... Not meaning to sound accusitory, just wonder if there's a specific reason...

[MeshugenahScientist]

@pantaholic

Almost surely because of not having enough funds for a safe enclosure affording natural space and a natural, tree filled environment.

beautiful monkey

[Chimpangel]

adorable

[amethist5581]

so relaxing.

I love to watch these animal/human videos. There is something almost tranquil about it. Maybe if we humans could get along like this, this world would be a better place. Thank You for sharing!
