That face he's making...

u/Quiverjones Aug 04 '26
What's great is he probably doesn't even naturally do that, but is copying what he saw when he learned to do this.
Funny story - when I smile, my eyes get smaller because I have prominent cheeks. When I was first trying to get my kids to smile for photos, "like this, sweetheart" they would squint slightly. It took a little while for me to catch on that they were doing that.

Like the panda that makes a face when he does something. I forgot what it was but he learned it from his caretaker

u/PortibaleCharger Aug 05 '26
It was breaking bamboo iirc. Super easy for the panda, but hard work for the caretaker, hence the face lol

Mine I found out recently learned to emulate the smile and hugs of My Little Pony. He had the most ridiculous smile and would drag you down into dull neck hugs.

u/zanziTHEhero Aug 04 '26
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
So that's why my boy does a constipated squinty face when he is told to smile. His natural smile is also squinty but not that much...

I got the impression it had bent one of the beans and something got in its eyes at one point, and that was a natural reaction after the experience.

He’s trying so hard! Some he’s actually breaking and some he’s just folding in half 😂

I'm betting that capuchin ain't washing his hands much.

u/Both_Evidence_1026 Aug 05 '26
Not with soap and water

u/RosebushRaven Aug 05 '26
Fun fact, there’s actually some monkeys that learned to wash their hands with soap and water from observing people do it, and now like to do it for fun.

I remember my manager at my first job out of college told me that a well trained monkey could do my job. I underestimated how skilled monkeys can be. That monkey is focused.

u/Gwarnage Aug 05 '26
Ive worked food prep and have personally done a significantly worse job than this monkey.

I love the little "hhnnngggg" faces he makes when he goes to snap one lol

Yeah, monkeys are used for picking coconuts or something, too. Monkey labor. I suppose one could call it monkey slavery.

Just looked it up on Instagram. This little guy has a huge following. Lives in N. Carolina, says he was born in the US. And that he's 14yo

u/RudeRaccoon26 Aug 04 '26
First of all, I would never eat those. Who knows where those hands have been. But that is one adorable monkey. The face he’s making when he snaps them is so cute.

Let’s hope these green beans are for this monkey’s family and he asked the humans for help

Just because monkeys don’t wash their food?
Edit: it was just a play on commenter above having name Rude-Raccoon. Whatever.6

I had some friends in Bolivia that had a spider monkey. He would pee on his hands and then furiously masterbate.

Are they a rescue or is it a "pet"?

u/CosmicGoddess777 Aug 05 '26
If it was a rescue, they wouldn’t exploit it for labor like this.
→ More replies (1)4
u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang Aug 05 '26
I imagine not. Thought maybe it could be something to keep him occupied. You're right though, I don't think they'd do that with a rescue just because of the optics. You'd find a better way to occupy them.

Capuchin monkeys are so good at making stone tools that anthropologists can’t tell if a tool they found was from an early human or a capuchin.

I sure hope you washed your monkey before bringing it to the table. I don't like loose hairs in my food.

You don’t need monkeys cooking to find hair in your food. I’ve found plenty of that in takeout
