Ross’s monkey was a white-faced capuchin. The Kentucky monkey looks like a tufted capuchin

I spent some time around wild capuchins at a field station in Costa Rica long ago. They’re amazing animals and really smart, but the wild males aren’t so friendly as the young female monkey in the story. I got a kick out of a 10 lb monkey always threatening and trying to intimidate me when I came close, but always backed off because hey I was in his yard not the other way around

There’s a reason that if you see a monkey interacting with people in a movie or tv show its virtually always a capuchin (even when its supposed to be an old-world monkey*). They can do damage like any monkey, but they’re really smart and trainable. A female capuchin thats used to people (this one already had a collar) is as safe as it gets.

Still, if you see a monkey on your porch your first thought should not be to try to pet it. It should probably be that it could rip your face off

ETA: *Both Outbreak and Indiana Jones which have clips posted in this thread cast a capuchin as an African monkey

Those dream sequences and the feeling of rage? Feels pretty much like my life currently.
