What are you going to do with him when he grows huge and his canines are like that of lions? I am interested in how you will house him and care for him, please share how you see his future ending up? thanks for your time.

@samanthadewhirst I had his canines removed and I had him neutered when I bought him. He is almost 6 now he wont get too much bigger olive baboons are one of the smallest baboons. He really is a sweet heart I take him outside and he wont run off. He isn't even bad to the other animals. We have a huge cage that he lives in that is in our house, but we will still let him out often.

@anlogsdon you are pretty cruel.......

[anlogsdon]

@IZuWIZme What exactly makes me cruel? I am a trained and experienced animal handler, I work in a zoo and I am going to school for wildlife biology. I plan on working with animals my whole life. I also plan to attend a teaching zoo for the third collage that I will go to, and it will be a hands on training, care, breading, and zoo work. I would like to travel the studying animals in the wild, and I also want to study them in zoo settings. I will work a lot with conservation and many other things

This is so awesome! I've had a few exotics in the past 5 years (Sugar gliders, Hedgehogs, Coatimundi, Canadian Lynx) But this just seems so different. I can't imagine having this guy full grown still acting this way. Congrats! Also, How much was he?

[anlogsdon]

@COLEMANREED666 I started getting exotics 4 years ago. I've had sugar gliders, hedgehogs, coatimundis, chinchillas, guinea pigs, ferrets, cavys, kinkajous, turtles, and my baboon. I bought him 4 years ago and when he sold in auction no one really wanted him because he was a wild baboon so I got him for just 350. Sense I bought him they have always went for much more at that sale. Also he is even more tame now and he is 6.

@anlogsdon I'd like to to rip out your internal organs and incisors and keep you around MY house like a court jester. You sod.

People make me sick.

@openfifth You're very welcome. 

[openfifth]

@cgcheyne Thank you for saying this. Youtube is dominated by people who have this puritanical insistance that every relationship between humans and animals is radically natural. There can be configurations of animals and responsible caring people where the animal's interests are satisfied. The same people who criticize would probably raise a stink if a male cat or dog is not neutered because they have a different take on domestic animals. But people must be thoughtful and responsible.

Some of you on here should really mind your own business, if this lady wants to own a monkey and the law allows her to do so, let her do it without your harsh rhetoric. She was nice enough to take the time to post this video for us to watch, so please show her some respect. It's her decision to own and care for this monkey and we should not be telling her what is right or wrong. Enjoy the video and keep your harsh comments to yourself. Thank you.

@SexayLayD but its okay to neuter a cat or dog? what planet are you on?! These monkeys are not from the wild, and they still get to eat despite not having canines. some people are dumbasses. you do know if that Monkey bit someone it would get put down anyway whether in a zoo or not. please get your facts straight.

Olive baboons are usually quite big, only Chakma baboons are bigger....

Good luck, I´d love to have one! :-)

[robbieyawn]

Nah she not cruel she did that animal a favor than anything cruel, gave it a home away from the wild or the caged zoo. Id say that monkey is pretty damn lucky
