Moe Monkey Moe

We had Moe Moe for about one month in our home.  He was a South American Weeper Capuchin monkey.  Here he is with Alice Massie's daughter, Ella, and Cy Wofford.  (our neighbors)   The development of Capuchins is much slower than that of some other breeds.  They stay babies for quite a while.  Capuchins are known as New World monkeys.  They are very vocal (that means noisy).  They chirp and chatter.   They make very expressive facial expressions.  They are omnivores.  They eat fruits and veggies and some light protein - such as bugs!
