Short video of Ricardo, a white-faced capuchin at Gumbalimba Park in Roatan, Honduras. Although a little high-strung, he calmed down after being allowed to search my empty satchel, and then curled up in my lap for some scratches behind the ear.
Although I've been a zookeeper, I never worked with primates. It was amazing how human he seemed, just sitting there, playing with my watch band. Truly an amazing experience.
(I also have a slightly longer vid of Ricardo on YouTube.)
His cool.
