I got to hold this guy a few weeks ago. His name is Archie and he's 18 months old. Today I managed to get some pictures. How though? I work at Universal and Fear Factor Live is next to Animal Planet, and i'm friends with the animal wrangler for Fear Factor. Good to know people there, eh?

Yep he's really tame, very intelligent too. It's amazing how strong they are at early ages too! He can easily hang upside down by his feet or hang onto someone without even trying. Pretty amazing creature!

LOL, my family has millions of cats and 1 dog. The dog is fine, I just hate the cats. They ruin everything imagineable. The monkey looked cool though. They seem to be smarter than some of us humans sometimes though LOL.
