With a lifespan of 25 years this guy can look forward to demands on his time all his waking hours, unless he lives near a monkey daycare center. This "cute little guy" will end up in a zoo, as he grows from a cute mischievous toddler into an aggressive super-hyperactive adolescent, and his owner can no longer stand him. He will be thrust into a strange established monkey society without the social skills needed to find his place.
